KETTLEBELL SWING 

So this was kind of painful (mentally) to film and it took some focus to emulate very common mistakes of a Kettlebell Swing. I can spend an entire day showing the various incorrect ways. But this is just a quick example. If you're doing any of these, just take note and see if you can back track and relearn the proper pattern. I always recommend mastering the Kettlebell Deadlift before attempting a swing.  # We can all improve our swing. In this video you'll see 2 very incorrect swings and then you'll see two angles of a proper swing.  #kettlebellswings #laurenbrooksfitness #thursdaymotivation #fitforlife #kettlebells #trainwithapurpose

SINGLE LEG DEADLIFT

Before I head out to my MELT Instructor training I felt the need to go over the Single Leg Deadlift. I admit it has a bad rap at times. When done incorrectly with load that you're not ready for, it's one of the easiest lifts to hurt yourself with. So I get it! But when done beautifully, it's the best butt lifter, butt strengthener and butt tightener in the entire arsenal of lifts IMO. # The beauty of this lift is you can still feel the glute power without bells. Practice this lift with zero bells first. Get the movement pattern down! Then begin to hold the bottom deep hinge position for 5-10 seconds each reps. Even without bells you'll feel your lovely rear chime in!  # This is one of the exercise I'll be getting very deep in to during my upcoming workshop. We also cover this quite extensively in Lauren's Playground classes.  # I've gotten the most uncoordinated students to be able to master this wonderful lift. Give it a try with your body weight even holding on to something. Or try and take this lovely lift to a deeper level #sundayfunday #laurensplayground #laurenbrooksfitness #kettlebellworkouts #kettlebells #fitness #buttbuilder #glutes

KETTLEBELL CLEAN

The infamous Kettlebell Clean. I've demonstrated painfully some of the most common mistakes you'll see for this somewhat technical exercise. 😫 # You'll see the proper clean broken down a few times 😬😊 which should be able to help guide you very well! # If any of the incorrect cleans look familiar to you, really slow it down and begin with finding the rack position. The place where the bell ends up. Get comfortable with it. Walk around with the bell. You should be able to wiggle your fingers and feel comfortable. I always recommend starting from the top and working backwards. # For more detailed instruction check out my YouTube page kbellqueen and join Lauren's Playground online gym. Off to MELT day 2 I go! #happymonday #kettlebells #kettlebellclean #laurenbrooksfitness #laurensplayground

Having Trouble With Your Kettlebell Clean?

Having Trouble With Your Kettlebell Clean?

Part 1 & 2 now available on this blog post

Cleaning up your Kettlebell Clean - Part 1 

I remember like it was yesterday! 13 years ago I was trying to master the Kettlebell Clean. The instruction was to stand in front of the bell, reach back to the floor, thrust your hips forward and spear your hand through the bell, with hardly any arm usage. Well let me tell you what this resulted in, beautiful black and blue bruises all over my arms. I wasn't the only one! This was pre facebook and well before instagram. With blogging being the leading way to connect with others using kettlebells at the time, boy did I see some photos of battle wounds from people attempting cleans and snatches. This definitely wasn't the best marketing tool to get people involved in using kettlebells.

After months of practice and finally understanding that you have to really create a nice rotation with the bell and your arm as if you're raveling the bell up, never a flip, and then unraveling on the way down, something clicked. Not only for me but for thousand when I came out with this super old video filmed 12 years ago. Do I do it this way now? Not completely, but I still follow some of these principles. This video alone, so I've been told by many, is helped minimize the banging of the clean.

12 year old Kettlebell Clean video

In this first video posted in this blog, the brand new one, I quickly cover how to Clean your kettlebell by starting from the top position to create a relationship with the ending position. I also discuss intensity behind the movement so you can match your hip thrust power to the size of your bell as well as bringing it up in a calm way to minimize any banging. We are getting in to the nitty gritty.

I'll be posting Part 2 over the next few days. To be sure you don't miss any announcement or free access to our featured workouts, nutrition tips and programs be sure to join our community. I promise I won't be annoying and send you a million emails trying to push stuff down your face. That's just not me! Just motivation and information that will enhance your life.

Golden Milk - The Key To A Good Night Sleep

I started making Golden Milk, which has the key powerful ingredient of turmeric. Turmeric literally is known to help almost everything. Here are just a few things that it can help with

•  Anti-inflammatory 
• Boosts immunity
• Anti-cancer properties
• Depression
• Regulates blood pressure 
• Improve memory
• Gall-bladder
• Improves IBS and IBD
• Arthritis
• Insomnia
• Menopause
• Reduces arsenic
• The list goes on and on. Check out a huge list here with data to back it up.

WARM EVENING GOLDEN MILK! Holy crap this was Heaven!  This homemade golden milk was absolutely amazing. The perfect evening drink. The benefits of Turmeric are insane. I think it literally cures everything and anything. 😊 I used @gaiaherbs Turmeric Boost restore and stirred 1 tsp on low in 1-2 cups of coconut milk with cinnamon and 1 T of coconut oil in a sauce pan. Then added honey! You're welcome!  #goldenmilk #vegan #glutenfree #cleanliving #kettlebells #laurenbrooksfitness #turmeric #paleofriendly #veganfriendly #love

A post shared by LAUREN BROOKS 💪🏼 (@laurenbrooksfitness) on Mar 7, 2017 at 7:19pm PST

When using turmeric the cucumin's bioavailabity (the magic inside the turmeric) 1000 times greater when black pepper is consumed during the same time. So please make sure you have black pepper when consuming turmeric. Like always with anything new, start small!

The golden milk I make consists of the ingredients below. With a busy household of 4 kids and a hubby I decided to purchase a turmeric mixture that already has black pepper and some other anti inflammatory ingredients. You can certainly make your own with the ingredients below, however I personally use Gaia Turmeric Boost restore, to have a slightly more Chai flavor in my Golden milk and it tastes amazing!

I make all of this in a pot on the stove. I bring it to a slight bowl and mix it well. Here's my concoction for a small cup for two

Water  8  oz
Hemp or Coconut Milk  8oz
Coconut oil  - 1 - 2 teaspoon
Turmeric & Black Pepper (from the turmeric boost) 2  tsp
Cinnamon  - sprinkle
Honey (added at the end)  1-2 tsp to taste


Since making this delicious Golden milk, my husband who normally wakes up every single night for a few hours has slept like a baby! Now asks me to make this for him 1-2 hours before bed and not only does he sleep through the night like a rock, it knocks him out and he wakes up with a ton of energy. If this can work for him, it can probably work for most people. LOL!

Here is a video recipe by Dr. Arjan Khalsa to show you how to make the paste and use this paste throughout the week, I suggest you watch. It's a bit different than how I make it but it it's perfect for those who already have the ingredients and are ready to make it now!

Cheers! Would love to hear how your Golden Milk turns out and see how you feel when implementing this wonderful beverage in to your life!

Apple Cinnamon Gluten Free Muffins and Kettlebells for 5 minutes

Apple Cinnamon Muffins

Gluten Free

I've been on a baking kick lately, mostly inspired by my daughter who has recently needed to avoid gluten and dairy. I still give her sprouted whole grain bread from time to time, which she does well with. When 3 out of the 4 kids are able to eat bagels, pizza, ice cream and mac n cheese with no consequences, it can be very difficult for the 1 child who can't eat those things. This is why it's imperative I continue to make delicious food that all the kids can enjoy! 

These muffins can be used for breakfast, snack, dessert or taken on the go. I made them last night and put them in the fridge after they cooled.   This morning this moist apple pie tasting muffin tasted even better than last night!

This tastes very similar to a gluten free apple cake I made years ago, which was very yummy! For that recipe check it out here. This recipe was inspired by my favorite gluten free  chef Elana Amsterdam at www.elanaspantry.com. I made several minor changes to lower the sugar and the sodium content while upping the protein.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups almond flour

1/4 tsp himalayan pink salt

1.5 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 cup tapioca flour or arrowroot powder

1/4 cup grapeseed oil or coconut oil

1/3 cup honey

2 eggs

1 T vanilla extract

2 apples peeled, cored and chopped well.

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line 12 paper liners in muffin tins.

Mix all of the wet ingredients well in a bowl.  Combine all of the dry ingredients in a separate large bowl. Then stir the wet ingredients in to the large bowl with the dry. Slowly fold in the finely chopped apples until it's mixed well. 

Fill each muffin cup with mixture. These won't rise very much. I filled them up and was able to get 12. 

Bake for 35-40 minutes until the tops become brown. The center will be very moist at first. Let them cool for a 30 - 60 minutes and then put in fridge or serve after when cooled. I'm sure vanilla ice ream would be amazing on top. Feel free to let me know!

Dips, Perfect Push ups & Cookies (Gluten Free, Vegan, Paleo Friendly)

Ring dips and perfect push ups have a lot in common. Arms hug the sides of your lats, abs remain tight, as you power the movement both down and up with control. I usually feel this in my chest, triceps, delts and abs the next day. Not neck or traps. 

Mastering the perfect push up makes dips very doable. I hardly practice dips, but can do them because I practice push ups regularly. Push ups are the bomb! Make sure to practice the right way! 

There's a place for wide push ups, diamond push ups, one arm, etc... The safest one IMO that allows for the healthiest pattern for most people is the push up I demonstrate on my blog videos with link below . The #perfectpushupchallenge program and videos have taken people from zero to 3, zero to 10! Or 3-20 in just 21 days!

The Boring Unsexy Training That Works!

My workouts are considered very boring by many. They're not sexy at all. Just straight up simple and many times the same exercises, when I'm working towards a GOAL! If your goal is to be stronger in a certain movement you need to practice A LOT! You also need to know how to PACE yourself and not over do it.

Our Central Nervous System is very fragile, especially in this day and age. Most people I meet are complete stress cases unless they take time out of their day for self care and listen to their body. I believe in working hard, but I'm also a believer in working SMART!

Todays session was simple. I did a MELT Hand and Foot treatment to rehydrate my connective tissue and create stronger rooting mechanisms with my feet to the floor and a stronger grip with my hands. I did a light mobility movement flow to calmly wake up my body.

Then I was able to knock out 10 reps of holding 70lbs in front of my body. I'm only 115lbs so this did not come easily for me. I remember when I could barely do 3 reps in a row. Then I went to the pull up bar after some breathing and mobility and knocked out 8 strict chin OVER the bar, shoulders away from my ears, traps relaxed, pull ups (palms away from my face and a thumbless grip). I did this for 3 sets.


If you're a guy you may want to stop reading now. The girl time of the month is here and ladies let me tell you. It's REAL! When you're losing a ton of blood our bodies have to work harder to function. It's easier to get light headed. I even faint when someone draws blood out of my arm. LOL! (not really that funny, but unfortunately it's true and many do).

My point in sharing the blood loss, is you have to SLOW your roll. If you want to achieve a certain number of squats at a certain amount of weight, make sure you take enough rest, drink water during your breaks, so you can show up recovered. If your workouts are considered BORING, but then you can perform and EASILY pull up a set of heavyish squats or pull ups with no strain, in a calm way, your workouts are WORKING!


When something is working and I'm achieving my goals, personally that's not boring. Want to know what's boring? "Exercising" without working on a specific skill just to burn calories. There's a time and place to exercise to burn calories. But why not try and get better at jump rope? Or work on increasing your sprint time. You'll burn calories as a by product, but you're goals will be so much more measurable and meaningful that you may stop focusing on what the scale says and be stoked on how much better you're getting. Then by showing up to your TRAINING you'll get the confidence boost that you need while getting to your goals. This is how we do a lot of our training at Lauren's Playground.

What the heck is MELT METHOD? How it changed my life!

I recently discovered a simple self treatment system that anyone can do called "MELT Method".  I must admit, I was very skeptical at first. What can little balls that you use to roll on your hands and feet actually do for your body? 

Some of the benefits I read about were better sleep, release back pain, release neck pain, lower stress levels, increase metabolism, easier breathing, improved grip, improve flexibility, help with migraines. The list went on!

I still chose not to try the system. As a kettlebell fitness coach I work with an array of clients that are all ages, shapes and sizes. Some of my clients would come in from their stressful work week with neck pain, migraines, lower back aches from sitting too much at the computer or driving long distances and just a ton of tension all over their body. Many of them do yoga too. It would bother me that I didn't have anything for them to do at home other than the normal mobility protocol, continue to move throughout the day and show up to your sessions.

I was getting very frustrated about this. I was also on a quest to figure out why my wrists continued to feel stiff and achey. I did gentle massage and a ton of mobility exercises especially focusing on my wrists daily.  I thought maybe it was from doing push ups or pull ups. So I would take some time off and the wrist stiffness would still be there.

I began looking in to neuromuscular therapy. This is when MELT came back on to the grid. I  finally decided to give MELT a try. I started implementing the MELT hand and foot treatments several times a week. I began with the mini treatments and then worked my way to the soft ball treatments. I noticed in just a few treatments that I wasn't waking up with soreness in my wrists. In fact the pain and stiffness was COMPLETELY GONE!  That's it, I was hooked! I almost couldn't believe it. This sh%t straight up WORKS!

I knew I needed to learn everything about this and understand the WHY and the HOW. I still couldn't grasp why this worked so well. I felt how the treatment would work my connective tissue by gently hydrating it with the compression techniques, then when I would rinse and apply friction I felt the tingling sensation of the water and blood circulating throughout my body. Not just my hands feet!

It was time to learn directly from the creator! I took a leap and signed up for a certification. When I signed up for the certification, you had to read a ton of material, take tests and write about it. It was my kind of certification. One that tested how well you understand and teach, not just how tough you are! I loved that you needed to do your homework and understand the science before showing up as well.

When I arrived at the  3 day course, the founder of MELT, Sue Hitzmann, taught the "geeky" science behind this entire system in the most beautiful, funny, digestible manner possible. It truly created an experience that was mind blowing. It was everything I hoped for and more. All of the anatomy I took in college was a joke compared to this course. I UNDERSTOOD IT! It made sense!

Since receiving my Hand and Foot certification, I've jumped head first into using this method with my clients. In just the very FIRST MELT Hand and Foot Intro Class, here are changes that happened during our assessments.

- Increased flexibility
- Grip increased
- Feet were more grounded after the treatments (perfect before a strength session)
- Balance improved
- Felt more calm and relaxed
- Better night sleep (had feedback the next day after the class)
- Wrists were more mobile and less sticky
- Felt lighter on our feet.
- Hip released and didn't feel "stuck" anymore

This is just from ONE small hand and foot treatment while learning how to use the method. Do this several times a week and it becomes life changing!

I'm pretty excited about this stuff as you may be able to tell. So excited, that I opened up 8 spots to teach this via Skype exclusively for members in Lauren's Playground. With the session I sent them each a MELT soft ball, since that's all you really need to get started. The spots filled up immediately! I will be opening up more spots soon. Please email me to be the first on the list. 

In the meantime if you don't want to wait, you can order the entire kit with the DVD directly from the MELT Method store and start sooner than later.  She also has a great book that will teach you the science behind it. 

If you learn better in person I offer privates or group class settings in the San Diego area. I also offer private lessons via Skype or Facetime if you want to wait until I have more spots available.



I'm so excited to incorporate this approach in to our practice here at On The Edge Fitness. The global hydrating effect that MELT has on your body is priceless. No amount of massage, eating right or exercise will give you the connective tissue hydration that your body is begging for, like these MELT treatments!  Get started now!

If you're local we will be having another Intro MELT Hand and Foot Workshop on 

New date will be announced soon in San Diego (Encinitas) 75 minute workshop.
