For some reason this year I decided that February wasn’t awful enough as it was and decided to undertake a fitness challenge to add in some extra punishment. The challenge, as you’ve probably gathered from the title, was to do 10,000 kettlebell swings in one month. I started a few days late, so even with [...]
While I generally don’t buy into concepts such as “starvation mode” and the like, it has become undeniably apparent to me that my diet is no longer working. From the endless Googling and forum lurking I have been doing, I am fairly confident that I have this problem narrowed down to the fact that I [...]
So am I. I have been poking around and deliberating about whether buying a kettlebell workout program would be more or less beneficial than just making my own plan. As of yet, I haven’t bought anything, but I did find a couple of programs that sounded interesting to me:
If you are in the least bit interested in fitness and exercise (and it helps if you’re a geek or nerd like me), do yourself a favor and head over to Fitocracy.com. It’s my newest “thing,” and I don’t see my obsession dying out anytime soon. The site is still in beta at [...]
So. I’ve taken the plunge. Or, rather, I made my boyfriend take the plunge and had him get me a kettlebell for Christmas. I, in my usual fashion, have been reading obsessively about kettlebells for the last forever and a half and chomping at the bit for Christmas to, like, get here already.
So [...]
Well, since I wrote my post on all of the mutations my weightlifting routine has undergone, I have since given it another major overhaul. Much for the better, in my opinion. I actually took about a week and a half off of lifting altogether because I started feeling like I was overtraining- I [...]
I won’t claim to be any authority on weight training, especially advanced techniques. But I do tend to obsess whenever I find a new fitness idea to latch onto, and lately for me that has been weight training. I probably can’t even estimate the number of hours I have spent reading about it in the [...]
Since I have started my new weight training and HIIT workout, I have been doing more and more research on the subject. It’s becoming clear to me just how much I have been missing out on. I think it is ridiculous, the amount of misinformation that is floating around out there about weight [...]
I’ve decided to make my own weight loss workout program and follow it for a month and see how it goes. If it goes well, I will keep going much longer. I plan on updating my progress every week, similar to what I did with Insanity, and challenge myself to see if I can lose [...]
Since I have just finished up with Insanity, I am now faced with the decision of exactly what to do do next. I don’t want to lose progress, but I also don’t think I’m up for another round of Insanity or P90X just yet. For one thing, they are a little bit mentally intimidating, not [...]
