Kettlebells gaining popularity....

Hey all - I was talking to a friend of mine that went to a fitness equipment expo a couple of weeks ago in CO. I asked if there were any vendors selling kettlebells and how the turn out was for those companies. He told me, there was many Kettlebell vendors and there were many people checking out their products. That's awesome to me. It's gaining popularity and its really showing. If you haven't tried kettlebells yet, go ahead and try them. Prices are starting to fall because of all the many choices out there and many gyms are starting to have Kettlebell classes. Try them out. It's a great change of pace.

Since I've starting using Kettlebells and focused on just using Kettlebells, I've lost a few inches and about 5 to 10lbs of fat. I feel better and more refreshed with the change of pace.

Give them a try if you'd like a great change of pace and looking for some variety in your workouts. Cheers, DM

NetAthlon 2.0 - Favorite course?

So I haven't really talked much about it lately but I haven't forgotten about the Netathlon application. I figured I would start focusing on this in the coming months, when it starts getting colder out. So let's get them juices flowing... tell us what your favorite bike riding course is?

I pretty much like them all but I like the Colorado trail one the best. I plan on hooking up my bike again soon, seeing that it will be getting cold out again. Maybe we can get a group of riders together, that would be fun.

Have a great day! I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks, Doug

Wii - will it help kids and adults lose weight?

So I've been doing some research lately about fun ways to get more kids and adults in shape. I've been hearing alot of hype lately about the Wii by Nintendo. I think it's a great tool to help kids and adults lose weight. There is much more that we need to do in order to get healthy, including eating healthier but maybe something like the Wii will help. I know friends and family that love this thing and say it's really alot of fun and burns calories.

I plan on buying a Wii at some point in the next few weeks / months. I first plan on buying an Elliptical trainer before the winter sets in here, but the Wii is second on my list. Check out this article about Wii being added in a gym. It's pretty cool.

Stay tuned for more about the Wii. Thanks for reading. DM
