'Train like a man"....LOVE IT!
Below is a link to a great article on the Dragondoor Website. It talks about women and their "hesitancy" to lift heavy for fear of "getting big". I can relate to the author and what she is talking about. I'm 5'2", have been lifting heavy and using heavy Kettlebells for years. I have not bulkedup and I do not look big.....I look healthy and strong. As a testament to this, I was finishing up my owrkout the other day (MVO2 snatches followed by 10 minutes of TGU's and pullups) when someone at the gym said to me "you must kick you husbands Ass!" Said he was amazed by my strength...check it out at http://www.dragondoor.com/articler/mode3/567/?c=pbp-205&utm_nooverride=1

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.
