kettlebells

It's hard to believe that January is almost over, the month has flown by!

I am sending out a blog this month because we have a new newsletter software that is a wee bit more challenging than I thought it would be; so it's going to take some more tutorials before you see the new newsletters. I will send one out mid-February with the March listings. Now that I’ve given you a date, I am committed to learning the software before then!

I think I may have neglected my own workouts a bit with moving in to the new space. Well, yesterday I had a super workout. I am still quite sore today- mainly upper body- traps and lats.

The workout started out with kettlebell cleans- 3 per side moving down in weight: 65lbs, 55lbs and 45lbs, followed by double cleans with 36 lbs. The 45lb and 36lb felt like feathers after the 65lb.

Shawn Mozen of Agatsu is back in town this weekend offering another kettlebell instructor certification.

I am really excited to be able to go out tomorrow and watch the certification. I am looking forward to being able to observe an actually take things in, now that I have been training & teaching with kettlebells.

I always look forward to the opportunity to continue learning and growing as an instructor.
Plus there'll be no Chrissy workout for me this weekend!!

As most of you know I train with my trainer twice a week. I love the challenge and the fact that he pushes me harder than I could/would push myself.

It's great to get the feedback and continue to develop, this allows me to grow as a trainer for my own clients.

Well...today was a stellar workout and he even brought in an audience to watch. Well, I am sure as you are aware once people are watching you tend to perform to highest ability. I had no problem with the other trainers coming in but man I went all out!!!

The first week of the July classes/bootcamps has come to an end. It has been a great week of meeting new people and reconnecting with old friends. The weather was remarkable for every camp.

The week was spent running up Citadel Hill, Squatting down Alderney Landing, Kettlebell Deadlifts in the Dartmouth Commons, Strolling with Babies in Point Pleasant, Planks in the park and of course training one-on-one with clients both indoors and out.

Today was a day filled with new and old boot camps. I started the afternoon off with a new Booty Boot Camp at Alderney Landing. We even had "participants" from the windows of above the Alderney Dental Cllinic! This class was a 30 minute butt blaster over lunch time. I had a lot of fun with the ladies.

Meet my trainer. Craig motivates and pushes me to perform at higher levels. I have an absolute blast training with Craig. I meet with Craig a couple times a week.  I met Craig at the Agatsu Kettlebell Certification in Halifax.

Looking forward to my kettlebell classes starting on July 7th. Here is a first look at the new equipment!

 I'd like to introduce you to Penny, Brigitte & Max. How cute are they? Don't be fooled by the colour, the pink one is 8 kg (18lb), blue 12 kg (24 lb), and yellow is 16 kg (32 lb).

Come on out and name your kettlebell, up close and personal.

I am excited to be able to offer indoor workshops/classes in Halifax this Fall. We will have a space on Cornwallis Street by the Yoga Loft.

It's a super convenient location with lots of parking.

The first workshops to be offered will be a kettlebell class and a Fit Mommies class. No worries of rain cancellations or inclement weather.

Stay tuned for more details.
