Another week in the books

February 21, 2010

This was a long week for me!  I had hoped to post workout logs during the week; however, that didn’t happen!  We had a team of folks in from our Corporate office this week, so I had early morning meetings all week coupled with an extra two days of school during the week.  It made [...]

A little more Providence and a Quick Morning 4 Miler

February 14, 2010

I hammered out the AOS Providence with the 16kg bell on Wednesday morning and then the 24kg bell on Friday.  Both of the workouts were great.  I hammered out another series of 80 snatches on [...]

Running a 5K in place…

February 9, 2010

This is sort of a hybrid workout log and post about how much I dislike treadmills and marshmallow shoes! My workout today was a simple barefoot 5K on the treadmill downstairs.  Last night we received about 3 inches of snow here in Chicago and I didn’t want to put on my “marshmallow” shoes and head [...]

40 Pounds.

January 31, 2010

I’m down 40 pounds as of this morning.  That is a huge accomplishment for me as I’ve busted through two of my “mental” weight barriers this month.  The combination of eating well, kettlebells and running has been a fantastic set of tools! I’ll soon be adding Ropes Gone Wild to my toolbox for some seriously [...]

January 20, 2010

Rocking workout this morning!  This is my second time through the Art of Strength Providence DVD and it is a killer. I hammered through all 14 rounds and then the 3 minute snatch test.  There was a moment during the clean and press round that I wanted to puke (I was pushing it – hard) [...]

January 18, 2010

Last Friday I finished my first go around of the Art of Strength Enter the Kettlebell workbook.  This was an AWESOME program, I highly recommend it to anyone getting start with Kettlebells. The simplicity of the program is the key.  You do 4 kb lifts through the entire thing with a pull of your choice: [...]
