My main arguments against planning out meals too far in advance, or buying meal plans from others are: I change my mind a lot, and my best meals (that result in shared recipes) are nearly spontaneous. Don't tell ME what to eat. I often take advantage of seasonal (read "on sale") organic foods. While I can certainly see the value in diet-specific or contest prep … [Read more...] about The Extreme Value of Delicious Delivered Organic Fruits and Vegetables With Unpacking VIDEO!

In Defense of Very Heavy Kettlebells… and Why I Love Having Them Around…
While very heavy swings are certainly not recommended for beginners, intermediate to advanced kettlebell maniacs might want to consider the challenge. For one it can be both a serious ego check (at first) and a real ego builder (a little later). And ladies, do NOT shy away from heavy when you're ready... short sets of heavy swings make for some glorious glutes, and bring … [Read more...] about In Defense of Very Heavy Kettlebells… and Why I Love Having Them Around…
A Fun P.E. Inspired Outdoor Kettlebell and Bodyweight Variation for Small Groups–with VIDEO
We've been having a ton of fun occasionally using a giant soccer field for our small group workouts. A little bit ago, I'd received a SandBell from Hyperwear and was inspired to think about "P.E. games" and related activities that might be fun to add to our workouts... Then I found my old stack of 20 orange plastic cones, and the following workout variations came about. In … [Read more...] about A Fun P.E.

A Great Excuse to Drag a Bunch of Things Out to the Park – Workout and Skill Practice
On somewhat of a lark it seemed like a fun idea to drag a variety of favorite "toys" out to the park today. A friend met me for this challenge and I also wanted to borrow her slackline. Because mine is SO stretchy I'd been having to hang it so high between trees that when I was jumping or falling off of it with the usual frequency it was starting to stress out my achilles … [Read more...] about A Great Excuse to Drag a Bunch of Things Out to the Park – Workout and Skill Practice
Product Review: Triton Nutrition Vital Vegan Protein – Vanilla
As many of you know, I'm more of a food person than a supplements person. However, the convenience of making the occasional shake as a snack or quick breakfast cannot be denied. Of course, what the shake is made from is of the utmost importance. Recently in San Diego, I met one of the heads of the new company, Triton Nutrition, he was attending (and excelling greatly at) … [Read more...] about Product Review: Triton Nutrition Vital Vegan Protein – Vanilla
Another Workout Inspired by Code Name: Indestructible…
In Code Name: Indestructible, one of the cool workouts that Mike created and included has a really neat rhythm to it -- Admittedly, I've been making a whole lot of little workout variations with this same pattern *click here for another*. I've even made a little set of them for a distance client looking for some "metcon" style fun. If you're short on time, equipment, and … [Read more...] about Another Workout Inspired by Code Name: Indestructible…

Slacking Off on Labor Day and Musings on Conquering “Impossibility”
Happy Labor Day! Hopefully you're spending time outdoors with a grill going or some kind of related activity. It's a good excuse to get outside (weather permitting), and do something active. Yesterday and friend and I took out our slacklines and got in some practice. I've really been enjoying this challenging but oddly relaxing activity lately. It seems to fit in very well to … [Read more...] about Slacking Off on Labor Day and Musings on Conquering “Impossibility”
