Real Talk - Transformations with Kettlebells and Community - Weight Gain after an Eating Disorder

This is the first time I’ve ever shared a story of someone who suffered from an eating disorder and was proud of their weight gain.

This story was shared with me yesterday by a member who lives in Sweden. I asked if I could share her story. She was so kind to say yes.

It brought tears to my eyes.

This openness and change, is what Lauren’s Playground is all about.

This is what community and Kettlebell training can do.

It can bring your body to where it needs to be! Your mind and soul!

Doors close tomorrow and your price will always stay at the lower rate you join. We won’t open until Fall. Would LOVE to show you the way it’s done so you can have the same success as both our members and myself!

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.

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.
