Kettlebell Kings Living Fit Online Training Review

October 4, 2019 by Amy Leave a Comment

Now that my boy friend and I are working out every day, I have been looking into ways to mix up my workout routine. I contacted Kettlebell Kings and they offered me free access to their online training at living.fit to do a review. The site offers a whole library full of videos for working out with kettlebell and battle ropes.

They recommend going in the following order (so that’s what I did):

Getting Started
Kettlebells Level 1
Battle Ropes Level 1
30 Day Beginner Program
Follow Along Full Length Workouts

The first 4 videos are great educational videos if you are new to kettlebells and battle ropes. I learned so much from them.

The “Getting Started with Kettlebells” video series went into different lifts and terminology such as EMOM, AMRAP and Rack Position. I wouldn’t suggest skipping this video.

The Kettlebell Level 1 video series teaches you 5 common mistakes people make with kettlebells. Some are common sense but it was good to hear all of them before starting. It also teaches you 15 benefits from using kettlebells. And finally it includes a 25 min follow along workout.

The Battle Ropes Level 1 video series goes over 32 frequently asked questions such as how to anchor your rope, how to use your battle rope, etc. It also goes over 35 benefits of using battle ropes and 3 of the biggest mistakes people make. And finally it includes a couple 20 minute follow along workouts.

The objective of the 30-day Beginner Kettlebell Program is to pattern good technique, and to teach you how to safely and effectively increase your strength.

Now that you are aware of how to use the kettlebells and mistakes to avoid, its time to work out ! The Follow Along Workouts are especially great for someone like me who is new to using kettlebells. First they go over what the kettlebell workouts will include and then they go through the moves while you follow along. They will give you tips on how to do the moves as you go through them. They also give you rest periods during the workout. There are 66 different workouts so you will have plenty of variety to choose from.

I can now say I am totally hooked on kettlebells and plan to buy a few more of various weights so I can get the best workout possible for each move.

Salonpas Pain Relief Product Giveaway

September 25, 2019 by Amy

Disclosure: I was given the products featured in this post to facilitate my review. All opinions are 100% mine and not influenced in any way.

Now that my boyfriend and I are working out on a daily basis, my muscles and joints are constantly sore. My go to choice for pain relief products has become Salonpas® instead of ibuprofin. By putting the medicine right at the site of the pain, bypassing the stomach and liver, Salonpas® can use less medicine to deliver an effective dose.

My favorite Salonpas® product is the large pain relief patch because it covers the entire area that hurts. Today I actually have them on my glute/hip area because we did about 200 squats and lunges yesterday. I woke up in so much pain and grabbed a couple patches and went on with my day. I may be crazy but I actually LOVE the smell of the active ingredient methyl salicylate in their products.

Note: these products should not be used on the face or rashes, on wounds or damaged skin, with a heating pad, when sweating (such as from exercise or heat), if allergic to aspirin or other NSAIDs, or right before or after heart surgery. Do not use during the last 3 months of pregnancy because it may cause problems in the unborn child or complications during delivery. If you are under 18 years of age, do not use this product. It has not been shown to work in children.

*************************************************

Now for the giveaway…..

One reader is going to win a full product suite from Salonpas (pictured above; valued at $100). It includes Salonpas® HOT, Salonpas® Lidocaine Plus Pain Relieving Liquid, Salonpas® Lidocaine Plus Pain Relieving Cream, Salonpas® Lidocaine Pain Relieving Gel-Patch, Salonpas® Pain Relieving Patch, Salonpas^® DEEP Relieving Gel, Salonpas^® Pain Relief Patch, Salonpas^® Pain Relieving Gel-Patch Hot, and Salonpas^®Pain Relieving Jet Spray.

To enter, leave a comment stating which Salonpas® product you would like to use most to relieve muscle and joint pain.

I will give you additional entries for each of the following:

Follow me on Instagram (leave a separate comment stating that you did so)
Follow WhoSaidNothingInLifeisFree on Twitter (leave a separate comment stating that you did so)
Follow WhoSaidNothinginLifeisFree on Pinterest (leave a separate comment stating that you did so)
