For as long as she could remember Katie struggled with her weight but in 2009 she made the choice to “get healthy once and for all”.  Almost a year and a half later ,Katie had lost 125 pounds! What I appreciate most about Katie’s story is her honesty and down to earth attitude. She openly […]

We shot this kettlebell circuit in New Castle Battery Park in Delaware on a really hot and humid day. Not my idea of an ideal workout enviroment but since we weren’t staying the night in Delaware I didn’t have much of a choice if I wanted to complete my goal of doing a kettlebell workout […]

Mo Talbot is a student, stay at home mom and a weight loss ambassador. Take one look at her before and after pictures on her Facebook page and you’ll see why. I “met” Mo when a friend of mine shared one of her motivational wall posts. I liked what I read and clicked through. I’m so happy I did. Mo […]

May is the last full month of spring before summer “officially” kicks off with Memorial Day. Longer days make summer the perfect time for evening strolls. If you are like me (and most Americans) you could use a little more movement. This month in anticipation of my summer strolls (and if I’m honest, swimsuit season), I’m […]

I’m writing my next thirteen kettlebell workouts with beginners in mind. You’ll see lots of presses, squats, cleans, rows, and, of course, swings. Why the next thirteen? Because I’m a nerd. Because I’m easily entertained. Because we are going to be traveling through the original 13 colonies and just like the colonist had to start […]

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 […]

I ran across Roni’s blog, Roni’s Weigh, a few years ago when I started my own weight loss journey. Last year, I met her for the first time during Fitbloggin’ and got to spend time with her again at BlogHer. She is every bit as warm, friendly, and helpful in real life as she is […]

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 […]

Happy 2012! I love the New Year. It’s a chance to begin a new adventure and to evaluate our choices of the past year.  What worked? What didn’t? Are we headed where we want to go? There is something fun about hanging a new calendar and seeing all the empty pages just waiting to be […]
