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 [...]

Kettlebells: So easy, even a 3-year old can do it!
Aloha, everyone! I had a great day! My new kettlebells came in, I’m not sore anymore, and my friends were visiting Honolulu from Austin, Texas.

There are other YouTube videos of her swinging a kettlebell at what looks to be almost full term — amazing! Share: [...]

It makes sense- on the day before my first kettlebell training session, I don’t really know what I’m getting myself into, so I’m excited and nervous. Here I am, live and in living color, with my babybell and my sister’s real life kettlebell! Enjoy the video blog: Share: Bookmark on Delicious Digg this post Recommend [...]
