I LOVE kettlebells; you can do so much with them.  I wanted to share a workout today to show you how versatile they truly are!  Even if you do not own a kettlebell you can still do that style of workout.
Let's talk about some of the movements I've listed in the image -
Squats; a no brainer right?  Well, just be sure you're holding the kettlebell with both hands up by your collar bone.  This will also ensure you complete the movement with proper form.
Swings; there are tons of videos online to show you how to do these, I've added one here
Squat with Skull Crusher; a skull crusher is basically a tricep extension but, it's behind the head.  So you'll start your squat with your arms above your head.  If you are using a kettlebell you'll want to be sure both hands are in the loop and the "bell" is hanging behind you.   When you squat you also lower your hands behind your head, be sure to keep your elbows by your ears!

If you have any other questions about the workout email me! I'm happy to help or answer any questions.

Enjoy your weekend and Neen's Mean 15!

Is it just me or did we all slack a little bit in the eating clean and working out regularly thang during summer!?  It was just too fun of a summer with all the concerts, graduation parties and fun dining al fresco.
For me, one of the things fall means is slowing down and getting back into my regiments.   I've been focusing hard on eating clean throughout the week so I can enjoy those wings on game day or a beer on a Friday night.  It's also important to exercise your mind and body.   You might not think that exercising is a mind activity, but just try and let yourself not give up or quit half way through!
So start your weekend right by working your BOOTY! :)

Enjoy!

 Today I'm taking my workout to the park - I'm going to run the stairs and do as much in the grass as I can!

If you don't have a park, run the stairs in your home!

Hope you enjoy your weekends!

This is the type of workout outfit that would carry you through your Saturday.  I typically do not condone wearing yoga pants outside of the house.  I believe it sends a sloppy message.   However, if you're going to rock the workout style running errands or to a sporting event (your kid's soccer game included!).  Be sure you look put together.  A sporty top and cute kicks are the way to go!

 Now, here's a workout for you before you hit your "to do" list!
