Measuring Success

This is the Kettlebell Bootcamp Blog. And today was a Kettlebell challenge. After a long warm up, it was time for the 400 Benchmark workout – a timed workout which includes the basic movements of the bell.

The last time we did this “test” was on November 24th, a little more than two months ago. I [...]

No More Snooze....And Some Inspiration!

The alarm went off and I thought, “Just five more minutes.” Fifty-six minutes later it was 6:46 a.m. and I was missing bootcamp! So frustrating…On Friday’s I walk with a friend after bootcamp, I got up and got that workout in but it wasn’t the same when my day is jump started with kettlebells, core [...]

Now, I'm Back....

Last Friday after bootcamp, I jinxed myself. As we were leaving, Dana said, “You have three days off.” I gave her a look that said yea, right and she corrected herself, “You have three days off from bootcamp but remember to do something each day – you have your workouts…” I left thinking I’d do [...]

One from the Buddy pages...

Resolutions are in full force. So I avoided the gym (and the crowds) and headed to the local high school track to get a good workout in today. Fortunately, I have a notebook full of workouts from Dana and went to the buddy workout section as today I had a buddy with me.

This particular one [...]

Moving into 2011 Resolution Free

The other night I was sitting there watching football – yes, my favorite time waster – well, it’s not a time waster, it’s actually a very valuable use of time, but anyway, that’s about the one thing I watch and don’t do anything else…Anyway, my outside voice actually said “I miss getting up mornings and [...]

Show Me

Last Wednesday ended our 45 day Nutrition Support Group. This is the first program of its’ kind for KBBC. I had 7 initially committed, with 5 completing the 45 days on the plan. Collectively, those 5 lost over 80lbs! The average body fat loss was 10% and the cumulative inches lost measuring beyond 80 inches-there [...]

Damage Control That!

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…

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 [...]
