I’ve worked out at some of uncommon places. That’s the beauty of kettlebells. I’ve worked out in parking lots, in the kitchen, and with dinosaurs. But this was the first time I’ve ever worked out with Texas Longhorns. I have a feeling that it might be my last too. We spent three weeks traveling through Texas. […]

I’m skipping ahead a bit. Texas was the next workout I filmed after New Mexico. But I’m still in the holiday spirit and the last workout I filmed has a holiday feel to it. I mean there are bells. They don’t jingle but they are red. And best of all there is snow. Beautiful white […]

We left our home in Ventura with almost everything we owned in tow behind us four weeks ago yesterday. It’s been a whirlwind of adventure for sure.  We hadn’t planned to go to Nevada so soon but we had an emergency stop that put us right at the border between Arizona and Nevada. While our […]

I finally filmed (and edited with the help of Thing 1) my first workout of the 48 workouts I’m planning to film while we travel this year and uploaded it to my brand new YouTube account. This workout was done in Yosemite National Park overlooking Half Dome about an hour before sunset.  This location is […]

Girl Hero Khara has an infectious positive attitude.   By day, she teaches early childhood special education (birth-5 year olds) and loves helping families build their capacity to help their little ones be successful.  She says, “It’s a super stressful and emotional job; I’ve become pretty attached to some kiddos and it’s helped me be […]

I already knew the kettlebell was one of the best fitness tools out there.  I knew it had made working out fun again. I knew it was responsible for making my core the strongest it has ever been. I didn’t know it would become a tool God would use to further shape and challenge me. […]

First things first. What the heck is a girevik you ask?  It’s a kettlebell lifter. Now the real reason I write this post. THANK YOU. Truly.  We all have busy lives and there are millions of blogs so I don’t take it for granted that you spend a few minutes to read my ramblings  Thank […]

hand. Does anyone else find that SpongeBob episode hilarious?  Anyone?  Anyone?  I bet this girl does. Unlike Sponge Bob things aren’t so funny right now in my life. I have two days until the Russian Kettlebell Challenge and the scale has been erratic.  Up and down.  Up and down.  My body is bi-polar.  (Oh wait, […]

Update:  You can read my  FULL REVIEW of the Bodybugg V3 here! I did something impulsive. I emptied my sock drawer.  Not of socks but of the last of my birthday money.  I was planning on buying a pair of designer jeans. Instead I got this. See the black thing on my arm. That’s my […]

I bought myself an early birthday present.  One that I’ve been debating on for months.   August 27-29 (my birthday weekend), I will be going to San Diego to have my azz handed to me for the RKC certification.  The RKC is known for being an extremely grueling certification. From everything I’ve read and heard it’s supposed […]
