I absolutely love efficiency and I was thrilled to learn that kettle bell training hits cardio, flexibility, and strength training all in one awesome workout. PERFECT! I was amazed by how challenging the cardio was and I will find out how sore I am tomorrow! 😉
Training indoors couldn’t have happened on a better day considering it was gloomy. We had thunder and raining throughout the day.
Today is also a holiday and many of you have the day off with family. Rather than sit down and binge on food all day, how many of you are out being active? I am considering making fitness challenges for all my typical holiday celebrations (like Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, etc) to get the focus off food and onto healthy fun! I am turning a new leaf on family tradition and starting my own!
Today’s Workout
Kettlebell Training Session with Naim Tinahui
Walk up the the hill 5x
I absolutely love training with Naim. He is gentle, yet tough. He doesn’t give into my whimpering and always follows it up with a positive affirmation that I CAN DO IT! A stellar trait of any personal trainer!
If you have any questions regarding this type of training or any physical training hit him up on the link above! He is down to answer your questions!
I am by no means a pro but, I am glad I just got the board out and played around. It was so much fun to challenge my balance. Perfect for the warm summer days. I love when I just get creative am make stuff up on the fly like I did in this video.
Today’s Workout
60 min morning walk up the hill
60 min yoga
30 min or so playing around with the foam board in the pool
60 min evening walk up the hill
We were having so much fun…..until…..my big toes were getting jammed in my daughter’s skates causing major discomfort. It’s time for me to get a pair of my own skates, because I can see myself doing this on a more consistent basis.
Why Rollerskate?
Rollerskating is PERFECT cardio and super great because you don’t get the heavy impact on the joints.
According to a study conducted at the University of Massachusetts, in-line skating causes less than 50 percent of the impact shock to joints compared to running.
So, if you are someone who says you can’t get your cardio in because of your joints you may want to try this.
Not only is it super FUN, but it gets you outdoors and in the fresh air and sunlight. You’ll strengthen your heart, improve your coordination and balance, not to mention you’ll get a ridiculously sexy lower body!
Skating anyone? 🙂
Today’s Workout:
60 min Zumba Class
Rollerskating – maybe 30 min or so until my toes were hurtin’ for certain!

I am officially kicking it off today which is, September 1st here on LifebyLori.com, but if you catch this post afterwards, please feel free to jump in and join anytime!
Why I’m Doing a Fitness Challenge
Feel good emotionally- boosts endorphins which means I am more pleasurable to be around. I just beam good vibes!
Feel good physically- clears out aches and pains and gives integrity to the structure of the body
Feel mentally clear & able to focus- the increased blood flow is going to the brain that stimulates mental function, because I am fully engaged in my workout my mind has to get off it’s little hamster wheel of repetitive thoughts to focus in what I am doing.
This builds mental muscles of attention, focus, and presence.
30 days is just long enough to stay focused and to get in the routine of establishing healthy habits
Involving community helps me stay accountable
Doing a challenge with others is fun
It gives us a reason to come together
