This Egg bake did not last long in my house. My poor husband was drooling and waiting ever so patiently while I was taking a few photos. I've never seen him so patient while hungry. He knew it was good and wanted to me to share this with the world. This dish is super easy to make. You can use any veggies and cheese you want. I used Goat Cheese but prior to this egg bake I made mini egg, turkey bacon and cheddar cheese bakes using muffin tins that the kids loved. I used a 5 cup Pyrex dish because it was just for my husband and me. You can double the recipe if you're making it for a larger group. Ingredients 8 Organic Large Eggs (whisked) 1 cup of chopped broccoli 1/2 cup of Goat Cheese Handful of arugula 2 chopped jalapeños 1 chopped green onion 10 cherry tomatoes cut in half  1 tsp of Vital Salt - Black Truffle Sesame Salt Directions Preheat oven to 350. Place all the chopped veggies evenly in a 5 cup 1.2L dish. Pour the eggs  evenly over the vegetable...

Workouts on the road can be as simple as using your body weight. Most hotel gyms have a few little dumbbells hanging around. You don't need much to get your train on.  Overhead Dumbbell Swings

Snatches can be frustrating! Today I'm showing you one way to bridge the gap between the Kettlebell Swing and the Kettlebell Snatch. Make sure you have a solid foundation of the Kettlebell Swing, Clean, Press, and Get Up before you do the Kettlebell Swing. Here is one technique I've found very helpful when ready to embark the snatch journey. Grab a KettleGuard if you have sensitive wrists/forearms during the learning process. This will even help if you're doing a ton of snatches, cleans or using heavy bells. Even my advanced students are enjoying them for when they use extremely heavy bells and they want to be comfortable.

Discovering My True Strength (Through Kettlebells)  by Kim Marivoet from Belgium I am sure you have people sending you thank you e-mails like these all the time, but I really wanted to tell you how grateful I am that you decided to share your no-nonsense approach to kettlebell training and nutrition with all of us the world over.  I started my kettlebell journey with Lauren's  Ultimate Body Sculpt and Conditioning  Volume 1 just after my 31st birthday this past Summer, and was hooked from the first suitcase deadlift!  Growing up, I stayed active the way most children do: through play. My bike and I were an inseparable duo and I was keen to spend as much time as I could outdoors. As the years passed and other interests took over, the only exercise I got came in the form of two dreaded hours of mandatory PE, the memories of which inspire nightmares to this very day. It would be unfair to say my family lived a sedentary lifestyle, but...

Letting Go of The Past “We must be willing to let go of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” – Joseph Campbell Have you ever found yourself angry, sad, or constantly obsessing about something that happened to you in the past? Feelings from past events that infiltrate into your present moment can be severely toxic. For example, dwelling on how your ex betrayed you and broke your heart can impact your future relationships. You will have a difficult time trusting anyone or being vulnerable with your heart since it was smashed in the past. But by closing that door and letting go of these past experiences, you can experience joy again.  We all know that changing the past is completely impossible unless we have a time machine. So until a time machine is invented, you have to find a way to stop carrying past events and feelings associated with them around with you. Sounds so easy, doesn’t it? It truly is easier said than done...

Double Kettlebell deadlifts is an exercise you want to make sure is programmed in to your workouts. This exercise works your glutes, hamstrings, abs and lats. I've programmed this in to both our Be SLAM programs as well as The Kettlebell Body. I highly recommend you learn how to do this safely and start doing them.

Push-ups are very easy to do wrong and can be difficult to do correctly! In 16+ years of training people I've had 1% of women and 10% of men demonstrate a perfect push up on their first day. In fact most people, yes including men, have missing links with their push up. It can take months or even years to get a perfect push up depending on your history and body structure. Especially if you've ever been pregnant, had C-sections, hysterectomies, sit at a desk, or sit in a car. My C-sections destroyed my push ups for awhile and I had to start all over again after watching myself protect my abs while performing a bad push-up. Luckily I don't have this issue anymore but it was an issue for quite some time!  I've shared push up progression videos in the past which have been very helpful. Check out my first push up progression video out before doing this assistant exercise I'm about to show you. Whether you're unable to keep your core and glutes tight throughout the...

How to Lose the Baby Weight even after a C-section Congratulations on finally having your baby! I hope the birth went well and you’re beginning to recover. I know how shocking it is to come home with your baby in hand - yet still look six months pregnant. Trust me, I’ve been there, too!  It’s frustrating walking around looking and feeling pregnant after you’ve already had the baby, plus you’re more exhausted than you ever realized you could be. I remember days where I couldn’t even string words together to make a clear sentence. Taking care of two in diapers was no picnic. I can’t imagine what my friends who have four, or even six, kids dealt with. More power to them!  So, let’s discuss recovery and how the heck you can lose your baby weight!  Losing baby weight is no walk in the park. I’m not going to beat around the bush. Seldom will you find a mom who gives birth and the next day she looks as if she never had a baby – though I have seen it on occa...
