The kettlebells made it to Apple river in WISC this forth of July weekend. I got a few swings in on a brand new dock put in by my friend that lives on the river.The weather wasn't always cooperative for us ,so when it rained I had something to do besides sitting watching movies.


Most of my friends and client I find are resistant to learning how to train with KB's . They see the results I get so why are they so afraid ? Once again, the minds thinking has to change.

The friend I was visiting had a few things with the hip he was dealing with. His thinking was, when I get my surgery , I am going to start training. His mind was always on how he felt or was feeling. How much energy does that take from a person ?

We are all falling apart with age , there is nothing we can do about that, but we can slow the process down a bit with some endorphins , strength, movement and a new attitude. I know it helps me ! TRY IT ..

Welcome to Russian kettlebell training

Welcome Maple Grove , MN Park and Rec




By now you have realized that Russian kettlebell training is not your ordinary way of exercise training. Some of you will have a Paradigm sift. Changing your thinking about how you move your body or take care of you is going to happen with this class.

You may have experienced that 2nd day sore , you might have a bruise or two. You sweated and took in oxygen like no other time in you life. The mind that will change before the body does .



I changed my thinking about the way I exercised immediately after my second class . I saw the change happening in my body and quickly after that and all aspects of my life followed the training.

Those of you willing to put the effort into taking care of you greatest gifts , your body , mind and soul,.and determined enough ,will show up again on Saturday morning .



Remember you know your body better then anyone else. Do what YOU can and move forward ......

BACK IN THE USA

My trip to London and Paris was a memorable one. As you know my daughter is in the USAF serving in England.


One of the places I visited in France was the Sacre'-Coeur , one the greatest Paris landmarks, high above the city of Butte Montmartre.

400 hundred steps to the top. I took them two at a time and breezed up the climb leading to the church. The streets had a elevation that worked the legs. It was a good thing I brought my fit flops in several different styles to get through all that 10 -12 hrs of swift walking everyday that I was on vacation.You had to move quickly to see all we wanted to see in just a short time. I actually lost weight . I ate enough to keep me going and burned it all off.

I don't care to see another piece of bread for a while , the diet was off while I traveled and I could feel it.

Weight is not a problem in this city, everyone walks everywhere , I wish we had that here.

I am heading to the farmers market this weekend and the Wedge to load up on wheatgrass and raw foods.



Get ready to work those legs, its good to be back in the USA !

It was a pleasure,,,,

575 SWINGS !! WHAT !! ???
Now that you did that many , 100 swings a day , doesn't seem that over the top.

Keep it up, it was a fun class. See you soon.

I have the pleasure of hosting my friend Eric this week. He is busy converting me back to the truth to eating and that's Raw foods.

So far I have tried the durian fruit as a first ever,,, rather interesting fruit ! I have to develop a taste to that one, the mango and blueberries help.

The kitchen has turned into the pleasantly smelling preparation area. Since nothing is cooked, no need to clean the stove or the microwave, it also keeps it smelling nice.
The nori rolls are my all time favorite, although the wheat grass shakes and smoothies are awesome after training or for breakfast.

One of the pictures is of zuggheti with a salad, after this you wont need spaghetti ever again !
The other picture is my breakfast, a green smoothie in a bowl.
It has been a whole different feeling in your stomach eating this way, but a welcomed one. I can train hard with kettlebells after just one hour of consuming this way .Your energy isn't stolen to digest such things as meat. Remember everything has protein in it., we are going for the live stuff people, not the long energy depravation it takes with meat to get.
I have had some headache pain as I detox this week, I ate a couple of bad things and paid for it . Its interesting how you can feel what bad food does to you !

I hope to shorten my recovery and make me strong in the next few months.

Raw food is not that expensive, in fact its a lot cheaper to eat this way, it also takes my hunger away so I eat less. But , if you wanted to eat more,, its all free foods .



Eric will be teaching myself and the Miss America women how to have energy , eat well, and look your best ever while he's here .
