May 30, 2013 By Kasey 6 Comments

Hey all! Hope you’re having a good Thursday! I just got back from a day with mamacakes – we had a meeting with a new group we’re helping to create that is all about Abundant Living!

Kettlebell Swings, Millet, iHerb Order, & Fill in the blank!

March 20, 2013 By Kasey 8 Comments

Hi all! So glad you enjoyed the Zucchini Power Brownie Fudge Bars! I promise you won’t regret making them. I tell ya, I could not wait to refuel with my #PowerbowlADay last night after this WOD. I got through 4 total rounds plus 20 burpees in 15 minutes. Talk about a cardio blaster! You may wonder what the (1.5-1) means, which is exactly what I was wondering the first time I did a CrossFit workout with Kettlebells. Here is the conversion; 1 pood =36 lbs; 1.5 pood = 54 lbs So for women, it was prescribed to use a 36lb kettlebell. Before CrossFit, I used to stick … [Read more...]

March 15, 2013 By Kasey 11 Comments

Good morning everyone! It’s almost St. Patty’s day weekend & it’s Friday! I have to admit, my Thursday went flying by. I had one of those mornings where I didn’t hear my alarm at all. A usual wake up call at 8am turned into a 10am wake up call. As I woke up, slowly, I laid in bed & thought to myself, “I feel so refreshed…and it’s really bright outside?? There is no way it is before 8am.” I proceed to look over & see my phone lighting up and a big 10:00am flashed in my face. At first I panicked & thought that I had my 10:30am client coming over before … [Read more...]

Hey all! Today I wanted to share with you my trip to the Arnold! or the “Awwwnold” – make sure you say it with a sweet accent.

February 5, 2013 By Kasey 22 Comments

Goodmorning all! Today is "F” day in #plantPOWER. When I think of the letter “F” many things come to mind. F is…FOR TIME. Started this morning off with a 545am WOD at CrossFit. Scaled the handstand push-ups similar to this video here. This one was tough & yeah, when the alarm goes off at 5:15am it’s not always easy. BUT I got after it & had breakfast in my belly by 730 am! After a lot of FOAM rolling. Speaking of another efffffffff. (what I say when I foam roll – hurts so good) F is for FUEL….or reFUEL. I refueled after this awesome WOD with a … [Read more...]
