Are kettlebells for cardio or strength training? That’s a question I get asked regularly. The answer is “It depends.” and “Both“. Since I don’t have access to a ” real gym” I’m using mostly kettlebells for cardio and strength. Kettlebells exercises are divided into two basic groups “grinds” and “ballistics“. Kettlebells for strength are often […]

This is a super simple kettlebell workout. Like really really simple. And really a good kettlebell workout for beginners. Of course, it is still challenging and it is easy to make it more challenging by using a heavier kettlebell or lengthening intervals. Super Simple Kettlebell Workout for Beginners. 1. Overhead Hold Left 2. Overhead Hold Right 3. […]

Unfortunately, I’m running out of title ideas for my kettlebell workout videos. The provocative workout titles that are so popular right now just aren’t my style so literal titles will have to do until I think of something else! Sorry! Anway, I finally found (made?) the time to edit another kettlebell workout video.  Now I just need to […]

We’ve been having a ton of fun visiting with my family. I just love being here and wish so much Indiana had mountains and an ocean like California. It’s hard living far away from family but now we live in an RV we regularly get to see friends and family all over the country. Being with […]

Hope you had a great weekend. We celebrated my grandparent’s 60th wedding anniversary. The week before we celebrated my other set of grandparent’s 60th wedding anniversary as well.  I’m so grateful to not only have all four of my grandparents still with us but to have such wonderful examples of loving marriages in  my life. Here […]

Keeping up with my kettlebell routine on the beach on Hattteras National Seashore in North Carolina felt like doing a workout at home in Ventura, California. Almost. We don’t have the tallest lighthouse in North America. Unfortunately the lighthouse was closed or I would have made that part of my workout. Although something tells me […]

Some places are just magical. Even when you are doing a kettlebell workout. We filmed this one at Bahai Honda State Park in the Florida Keys and so far it has been one my favorite places to workout. My kettlebell agrees. One evening Brent and I had the idea to exercise during sunset. It was […]

Typically, I don’t plan where I’m going to do my workouts. I just keep a kettlebell in our truck and hope for the best. Sometimes this works out great and other times….I well….end up lugging kettlebells through a muddy Longhorn pasture. It’s all part of  being insane the adventure. As it turns out there was a lovely […]

I was one of those horse girls growing up. You know the girls who played with Bryer horses instead of Barbies. Did anyone else have those? I used to write I <3 Knitpicker all over my Trapperkeeper. Knitpicker was my horse. My Trapperkeeper was an organizer. Do they still makes those? Anyway ,we spent a […]

Good thing my locations are change each week because my outfits don’t. I could only bring so many clothes with me in the RV. I want to say right off hand that I call these Tabata intervals but since there are 4 of them I didn’t go all out each set so they aren’t true […]
