Kettlebell Bench Press, Swing and Jumping!
I started working out daily again. It feels great! I decided to focus on the workout rather than making a great video, or even timing myself. Today’s workout looks like this: Warm Up 1 mile walk Circuit (x3)Bench Press with 12kgs, alternating x 10 20 Swings with 16kg 10 modified burpees (only horizontal jumps) Here [...]
Sunday Stats, September's End
Wow! I can’t believe it’s T – 33 days until my birthday! My new goal for my birthday (since I determined I wouldn’t lose 55 pounds by then) is to hit 180. I think that losing 14 pounds will make a HUGE difference — not only in the way I look, but also in the [...]
Jump! Lift! Swing! Kick!
There’s not a lot of fancy titles on this video, since Liz and I went to FitPro Hawaii to get one thing done. Work out! We started out jumping on the plyometric boxes- alternating 10 jumps. This was the first time we had done this kind of a warm up before, and three sets was [...]
Excuses
Hey folks! Here’s my stats for the last couple of weeks. As you can see, starting in mid-September, my weight and measurements have gone up slightly: For the last few weeks, I’ve been working out on average 3 times a week, and I’ve been eating a lot of sugary foods.

Stressful Snacking?
Hey kettlefolks! For the past week, I’ve been in various coffee houses around Honolulu, working to a deadline. One of the joys of working for yourself is that you get to work anywhere! (Conversely, you don’t have an office or regular workspace.) Lately, I’ve been looking at this: [...]

If At First You Don't Succeed…
One thing I’m learning through this process is to stick with it! In other areas of my life, I’ve gotten caught in the “all or nothing” trap. If I can’t do it perfectly, heck, why do it at all? For example, I might think, ” If I can’t get at least 30 minutes to work [...]
