Much fun was had last night at Tim Shuman, RKCII's 6pm kettlebell Fitcamp... first off, it was cold (which is probably laughable to people up North, but I am personally optimized for extreme heat, if it gets below 60 degrees I need a jacket), which to me was 50 Degrees F or below. And girl genius here had ran out the door without socks on. Fortunately I got there early and ran … [Read more...] about Visiting Fitcamp – a Workout for Cold (Florida) weather!
