Aloha, Kettlepeeps! I fell a bit behind on my video-making. So, I decided to put up an old clip because it was FUN! Here Liz and I progress our way up from deadlifting a 20kg kettlebell all the way up to “the beast,” or the 106 pound Warrior Hardware kettlebomb! We finish with a set [...]

Kettlebell Aerobics!
Just for fun, I tried out some kettlebell aerobics after my last training session. Unfortunately, I’m not very good at it. Here’s the video clip of me doing my best impersonation of a spunky 80′s aerobics instructor… with 10lb kettlebells. Hey, join the group on facebook! See you there!

Girls Playing with Big Bells (12 and 16 kg kettlebells)
Today we worked out with the 12kg kettlebell and my new bff, the 16kg! I decided to challenge myself and try some cleans and presses at the end of the day. Here’s a quick video of Liz and I at the FitPro Hawaii studio: Share: Bookmark on Delicious Digg this post Recommend on Facebook Buzz [...]
Morning Workout Challenge Day #1
I think I do best when I’m “challenged.” (And supported, of course.) Yesterday, our trainer at FitPro Hawaii literally sat Liz & I down and challenged us to get active every single day. Although I am definitely happy with my progress thus far, it’s true- my metabolism at age 35 has slowed, and I’m not [...]
Cleanse Day #8/ Kids and KBs
I feel great! Today has been the best day on the 9-day cleanse yet (and let’s not forget those 2 “pre-cleanse” days)! I had so much energy, it was strange. I didn’t have hunger pangs or hunger pains! I wasn’t extremely tired, and I was craving a workout. Today was family day, for sure. While [...]

Great Home Workout
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 [...]
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 [...]
2 weeks to free kb drawing!
Aloha! I am excited and proud to share a free black, painted 8kg kettlebell with one lucky person. Excited– because who doesn’t love a free drawing? And proud– because it’s this little strength training tool that has made such a big difference to my lifestyle in such a short time. Anyway, dear blog reader, if [...]
Successful Home Workout
I’ve given up the idea that I’ll get an uninterrupted workout in at home. That being said, I had an awesome session with my new kettlebells on Sunday, practicing the new movements I’ve learned in the past week. First, a note about my new kettlebells. Yahoo! I’m so happy! I feel like a little kid [...]
