Happy VO2 MAX !

You just completed you first VO2 MAX in Spring Lake Park and Columbia Heights. Just 6 weeks ago, you were asking me how much do those kettleBALLS weigh? LOL ........I reluctantly told you. As you found out, its all in the legs, hips and technique. You have come a long way from day one. There is still a lot of work to come to strive for perfection of movement.
Some of you have reported changes in their shape, strength and movement. THAT is what Russian kettlebell does.
We may not be athletes, sports fanatics, or gym rats. We are people looking to improve our daily lives and for practical living.
It may be to do all the yard work without a break, stand taller for a more youthful posture, or get rid of the toxins in our bodies and resist the H1N1. You were there, showing up, being brave and powering thru the uncomfortable feelings at times. Bravo.

See you next session :)

Happy Halloween !

This is last two training session before signing up for the new one. Don't be left out, and loose all your gains so far.
The last couple of winters have not mattered so much for me. Always training and sweating kept the cold and flu away, it also kept me in good spirits when so many were singing the blues.
I remember standing outside one day during a break in the snow. Barefoot and sleeveless. I didn't care that it was snowing, all I knew was that this training was benefiting me in more ways then one.
Watch the candy intake over the holiday, it's the sugar that ages us. Stay safe and healthy! See you next session.

LOOK WHATS FOR DINNER

Look what I had for dinner after kettlebell training. Its jicama rice with nori rolls and Wasabi sauce.
I like I said before, raw allows your energies to go toward other things in your life besides digestion of food. It allows me to recover quicker as well.
I don't have any indigestion issues when I am RAW, So I can train right after eating with no problems.
Eric Rivkin is a Raw foods expert, he will consult with anyone who attends our groups.
I hired him to come over to my home and prepare raw. I also attended several of his demos to learn new recipes.
He has his own recipe book available for $ 20 , its easy to follow. We can mimic anything in the raw food world !
