Every week I showcase another amazing and talented lady lifter, and every week I find some new inspiration. This week’s spotlight is probably one of my most unique yet, featuring a YouTube sensation Nomad! 😉 Seriously, how often do you find girls traveling across the country with a goal to perform instructional kettlebell videos in all 50 […]

Some of the ladies I choose for my lifting spotlight have approached me, asking to be next. Other ladies, I have reached out to and they have graciously accepted the invitation to be featured on my blog. This week’s spotlight is a little different.

The plan for the week was as follows, but there are already some tweaks that needed to be made along the way, such as shortening my Sunday 4.5 mile run […]

I think there are some unwritten standards in doing a weightlifting program. Like most people tend to do a Monday, Wednesday, Friday regimen if they workout three times a week. It’s uncommon to see Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, but I suppose there are people to do it. I somewhat feel the same about starting a new program. You’re supposed […]

Thanks to my girl, Gina, over at Noshing on Asphalt for nominating me to answer ten questions related to running. Silly girl, didn’t she realize that my blog is Wine to Weightlifting? She told me I could modify the questions if I wanted to make it more fit for me, so I’ll go ahead and […]

And we’re in the home stretch! Well, let me revise that to say I am in the home stretch. After 21 long days of a restrictive diet being forced upon him, my partner in crime opted to have a protein shake today with almond milk. And while on a typical day, I do not think this is […]
