Finally! I got a workout in… at home! The assignment: 20+ minutes of cardio warm up with deadlifts and swings 20- 15- 10- cleans/ push presses 1 minute of four-touch in between stretch! I convinced my oldest nephew to take a 1 1/2 mile walk/run with me. He went ahead on his scooter, and I [...]

Weekend Blues?
This past weekend was pretty hectic. I started off on the wrong foot by showing up extremely late to my training session on Friday. Why have a blackberry if you’re not gonna look at it? Okay, enough griping. The good news is that I was extremely focused for 20 minutes, and learned a killer exercise [...]
Sunday Stat Day
Aloha, folks! It has been a pretty tumultous week for us at kettletell. I have TONS of video to edit and post, and I do promise some (back) posting late late late tonight. For now, for the sake of consistency, here’s my stats: Yup. I’m a 35-year old woman, standing at 5′ 4″. And apparently, [...]
Woo hoo! A workout!
Okay, guys! (And by “guys,” I mean everybody!) I’ve been getting my workout on, but haven’t been blogging! I apologize to everyone in kettleworld. Mea culpa. Now that that’s over, let’s get on with my Wednesday Workout. I grabbed my energetic nephew for a brisk walk uphill. We kept track of our progress with my [...]
"More hips, more thighs"
I haven’t been putting my mind in my hips. My arms, yes. Long torso? Okay. Breathing is pretty good, too. But swinging kettlebells is all about bending the hips, loading the hamstrings, and using the weight of the kettlebell to create explosive motion. So far, I haven’t been utilizing the force that’s already there to [...]
Father’s Day Workout
Aloha and Happy (belated) Father’s Day to every dad out there, including grandpas, uncles, stepdads and father-in-laws! You guys ROCK! I started my day off right… on the scale! Then I took my measurements, just in case they might change after brunch. We honored the fathers in our family, and I indulged in a little [...]
Super Sunday!
I thought today was going to be a great day before I even met it. You know what I mean? You’re on track, doing what you need to do, and you just have a good feeling? Kinda like walking into an exam prepared? I had an amazing Saturday, kicked off by a great walk around [...]
Ham and Cheesy
I pulled my hamstring, y’all. That’s what I get for working out on an incline, and not doing it correctly. Please don’t take any of these videos to be instructional, since I’m just learning myself! I’m going to call it a night, but before I go, I wanted to share a quick video of me [...]
The Family that Works Out Together…
I’m so lucky. I have a wonderful extended ‘ohana here- it’s one of the reasons why I chose to move back to Hawai’i. I even consider the neighbors down the street “Aunties” and “Uncles.” My nephew plays football for his high school, and his uncle created a gym in the garage for them to train [...]
omg… 12kg!
This is how I feel! Okay. I’m beat. But not soooooooooo tired that I can’t write a two sentence lead-in to this video. Here are Liz and I at the Fit Pro Hawaii studio working our tails off. We started immediately with the 12kg kettlebells! I have been using the 8kg pretty regularly, so increasing by [...]
