I believe in order to be successful you must emphasize setting yourself up to be. Most times success doesn’t happen by accident. It’s something that takes focus, hard work, planning and sacrifice. # I put a lot of energy and time in to setting up for each movement such as the Kettlebell Swing. I take set up very seriously! If I just hike the bell back without spending time on rooting my feet to the floor, driving my hips back to where they need to be, and so forth, the success output on this exercise will be low and chances of failing or injury are higher. If you set yourself up correctly and plan accordingly, chances of being rewarded are high. # Today’s mantra: Believe you can do it and then set yourself up for optimal success. #mondaymotivation #goals #success #kettlebell #kettlebellswings #kettlebellkings #kettlebellworkout #laurensplayground #laurenbrooksfitness Photo by @mellenpatch Kettlebell from @kettlebellkings

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

By
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 aga

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

By
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 unlike
