Training Smarter versus Harder

Image
By

Just pondering on how lucky I feel to have found “smart” training, versus “hard” training. My body, along with most of my clients bodies, have responded VERY well… to the point that people stop them all the time and ask them how they look so strong and young!



Yeah none of us have to kill ourselves in our sessions. In fact half the time we don’t even get sore. We have energy all day for the rest of the stuff we need to handle in life. 


In all honesty 


I don’t do “cardio”.

I don’t track my food.

I train in a Zen mode a few times a week and have a very minimalistic approach. Like VERY minimal! 

I do put sleep as a priority in my life which is a big part of how one responds. 


People assume I workout all day long. When in fact I barely train. 


My days are spent training others, designing programs, raising kids, keeping a house hold together, and taking care of my 400+ members in Lauren’s Playground and On The Edge Fitness.


I also now have time for friend meet ups, fun activities, and creativity. 


At almost 43 years old and working out less than I ever have, it’s truly about “smarter” training for your body… NOT HARDER.



This is why Lauren’s Playground & On The Edge Fitness class students are in literally the best shape, the strongest, most resilient body they’ve ever had in all their years.


I can’t wait to feature one of my amazing students to show you the magic of minimal smart training.


I’m opening my membership on Tuesday so you can see the power and be a part of this amazing community. 


Message me directly at kbellqueen@me.com to get on the waiting list if you’re ready to train smarter versus harder!

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 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
