Kettlebells are my MIRACLE

I’m SO very thankful for this clunk of iron in my hand that I met almost 15 years ago.  This iron with a handle on it, literally changed my life forever! It’s responsible for changing and improving peoples lives beyond imagination. This here we call a “Kettlebell” is one of the best things that ever happened to workouts for both body and mind!

Kettlebells opened the door to unconventional body weight training. It’s truly just an extension of your body. The Kettlebell philosophy allowed me to shift my “conventional” ways of training body parts separately, to a collective and seamless unit, of full body training.

Kettlebell training opened my eyes on how to actually use my entire body as one unit.

This game changer taught REAL strength, power, mental stamina, purposeful training and conditioning. 

This little heavy clunk of iron shaped my body in half of the time I was putting in the gym. 

Kettlebells allowed me to take the walls off from the gym and go outside. It gave me my FREEDOM back! 

Kettlebells allowed me to train during my pregnancies and recover like no ones business from C-sections. 

Kettlebells are my miracle!

This type of training has made an athlete out of “non-athletic” people. Today I’m honoring the Kettlebell and thanking anyone and everyone who helped open the door to the intricate details of the most well rounded tool I’ve had the privilege of both using and teaching. I’ve dedicated my life to teach this to everyone and anyone who wants what Kettlebell type training offers.

Most of all I’m thankful for all of you. All of you who continue to learn this from and with me and are apart of our wonderful community. 💕🙏🏼❤️

What Doctor's don't tell you after a C-section

I have now been through 2 C-sections since writing this blog post and thankfully I've recovered beautifully from both with the appropriate progressions. For those who are new and are just finding me.

WELCOME!

First let me say I did NOT want a C-section. I did everything in my power to avoid the first and even the second. I'm a kettlebell fitness strength and conditioning coach who relies on her body to share, teach, educate, and I was under the impression that having to give birth via C-section would and could destroy my body and career. Boy was I wrong! If you're feeing the same way, start by reading this article I wrote many years ago that still applies today!

Many people have asked and here is part of my experience. I don't claim to be a medical expert but not only have I successfully healed my C-section, my abdominals are no longer numb, and I've successfully helped others who've had multiple C-sections (even some 20 years ago) find their core again. I d…

Let's Talk About Butts (Butt "on" Workouts)

To lift or not to lift, that is the question. Despite the popular sayings, "Strong is the new Skinny" or "Strong is the New Sexy," there is still a large portion of the female population that will shy away from lifting solely due to their fear of bulking up or building too much muscle. I'm not going to tell you that heavy weights won't help build muscle and I'm not going to deny the fact that some women can build muscle easier than others.

Let's start with the photo below. This is a nice example of the female backside that shows two different body types. The woman on the left falls in the category of an ectomorph, which generally means skinny, little muscle, and a very high metabolism. She could probably eat what she wants and stay skinny. If she committed to a butt strengthening and enhancing program, filled with exercises such as squats, deadlifts, and kettlebell swings, developing the butt on the right would still be unlikely. Through h…

Why Squat? Squats are one of the most beneficial exercises to practice. I could sit here and tell you how squatting makes you stronger, more conditioned, firms your legs and butt, improves digestion, increases energy and mood, but I'm sure you know the endless amount of benefits. A few people who've participated in the past squat challenges chose to share their experiences which I've shared below.
