Damage Control That!

By Dana, on 2:38 pm

Truth is, the Post Thanksgiving Damage Control Workout was GREAT last Friday, but I have to admit, I really didn’t need it. Well, of course, I needed a workout but my Thanksgiving Meal Attack plan, and my Thanksgiving morning workout, which consisted of a five mile run and some time on the elliptical, left me [...]

“Advanced” workouts and a little confidence…

By Dana, on 7:56 pm

Another week of “advanced” kettlebell workouts have passed by too quickly. I have to get used to hearing the word advanced but Dana reminds us that we are indeed advanced. I’ve never been considered advanced at anything resembling working out. I’ve always “worked hard” but that’s different than being advanced. I guess I am [...]

A little soreness is good

By Dana, on 9:39 pm

The saying goes, “No Pain, No Gain.” Right? I like a little pain. Actually it’s a little soreness. It makes me feel like I’ve been working hard and I know for me, it means results.

Today when I woke up, I was definitely sore. Yesterday was an awesome workout. I knew it was a good workout [...]

Tabata Tuesday!

By Dana, on 6:07 pm

There’s nothing like a Tabata Tuesday to get me moving in the morning. Tabata’s are one of my favorite workouts that I’ve learned from working out with Dana. After a warm up, quick kettlebell skill work and learning a few new tricks, we move on to the Tabata’s, which is the main part of the [...]

Who Am I?

By Dana, on 10:26 pm

The other morning there was a brief moment when I thought, “Who am I?” First, it was about 6:49 a.m. and I was in an elementary school gym working out (I am not known to be a morning person). Second, I was swinging a kettlebell (a year ago I had no idea what a kettlebell [...]
