Today was my kettlebell training session with my trainer, Bill Maeda, and my workout partner, Liz. I dragged my butt into FitPro Hawaii hoping that I would come out feeling energized; I had almost fallen asleep driving into town. Right away, we jumped into our workout. No time for chattiness; we were met with a [...]

Celebrating 20 lbs Lost and a Great Workout!
I woke up feeling great today! The back pain is gone, I’m looking forward to the last two Isagenix shakes I am required to take during this cleanse, and I weighed in at 196.7! Okay, some of you might be thinking, “I know men that weigh less than that!” Or maybe that’s what I think [...]
Friday's Workout
Hi there! The last time that I worked out was 4 days ago, and then, as you may recall, I was laid out with the flu. I was pretty out of it when I was working out, and I thought it strange that I didn’t have the strength or stamina that I usually do when [...]
Friday and Saturday's Workout
Hola! Yes, I am doing some serious back posting today, however, if I don’t back post, I won’t post at all. I apologize to the 14 people who come to the site regularly! Friday’s workout at FitPro was killer, just in the sense that Bill timed me on the circuits that I’ve learned over the [...]
Fit and Fun
Workouts with kettlebells can be challenging, but I would never say that my workouts are boring. On Tuesday, we took our workout to another level. Not in terms of fulfilling the rite of passage or anything like that. I would say, in my trainer’s words, it was “funner.” Since the workouts have become more strenuous [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
