Here is week four of our Wednesday Workout series. I’m giving you two different days worth of workouts. These are workouts you can do in about 30 minutes or less.

And don’t worry if you don’t have equipment like kettle bells or weights. I’ve provided “optional” exercises you can use.

There are also example videos linked to each exercise to help you see how they are performed correctly. If these exercises are new to you, or it’s been awhile since you’ve tried them, please watch the videos and practice before doing the workout.

You don’t need a lot of time to get a great work out. Remember to take your time, stay safe, and keep your body moving! [Read more…] about Wednesday Workouts : Week 4

060_imageIn this episode of Half Size Me, Heather interviews Michael Skogg, a world-renowned kettlebell coach and educator and creator of Skogg System.

From Michael’s About Page: “Michael is… a leader in the fitness industry since the 1990s. Stationed in Scotland while serving in the US military, Michael was introduced to kettlebells by Highland games competitors. He instantly saw the superiority of this full-body training, and has continued to share his knowledge and experience with a vast array of clients over the years.

He owned and operated a successful rehabilitation and conditioning center specializing in sports injury rehabilitation and corrective exercise. His unique approach to strength and conditioning attracted not only professional athletes but also the occasional workout enthusiasts.

Because of his background in injury and rehabilitation, Michael’s approach to kettlebell training emphasizes converting vulnerabilities into strengths, bringing out the full potential of every part of the body. His clients have achieved strength and mobility from injuries they were told they would otherwise never have fully recovered from.

Michael has endorsed several products by Weider Fitness and was their national kettelbell trainer, featured in four of their instructional workout DVDs.

Today, Michael enthusiastically shares the benefits of his kettlebell workouts at his gym in Portland, Oregon.”
