today I tried and completed a fantastic bodyweight workout put together by Sr. RKC Brad Nelson. It's a series of pretty intense bodyweight excercises performed for a total of 300 reps. I did it in 20 minutes. It was a nice change from some of my other routines. Check it out on Brad's Blog as well as tons of other cool stuff....

Enter the Kettlebell...back to basics
With less time this summer (kids home from school) I decided to revisit "Enter the Kettlebell" and get back to basics. I'm a big fan of keeping it simple. I've been doing C&P ladders with 16kg bell. I'm up to 3 rungs for 4 ladders. Been doing pullups in between each rung. Finishing the workout with 100 snatches (Monday) and Double Squats (Weds). I'm feeling stronger just after two workouts and it's helping me toward my bodyweight pullup goal. For any of you just starting out, I highly recommend one of Pavel's best...."Enter the Kettlebell".

About Me
- Fabiana O'Brien
- I am a 41 year old mother of four who is AFTA and Art of Strength (AOS) certified in kettlebell training. I began using Kettlebells in 2004, a year following the birth of my triplets. Once I picked up a "bell" I never looked back. I trained with Anthony Dilugio of Punch Gym in Providence, RI and attended his Art of Strength Essentials Course in the summer of 2007. This past April, I took my Kettlebell experience to a new level and attended a three day "Russian Kettlebell Challenge" in Minneapolis, MN. I met and trained with Pavel Tsatsouline and his army of Master and Senior RKCs. I achieved milestones such as 54 snatches with a 16kg bell and various gruelling workouts put together by the likes of Brad Nelson, Andrea DuKane and Doug Nepodal to name a few. I currently train clients at Gold's Gym in Ashland, MA. My goal is to get people to realize the power of Kettlebells and to change the way they look at "working out" forever.
