Like how myself and my colleagues continue to work on getting better; I'd like to take a moment to spotlight one of my colleagues on their work to bettering themselves.

Brittany Dimitruk, a trainer at RWJ Hamilton Center for Health & Wellness, wanted to challenge herself both mentally and physically and make a better commitment to her own health and wellness.

As I have been working with Advocare products, I offered to sponsor her while she did the Advocare 24 Day Challenge.

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

24 Days Later:

Total Inches Lost: -27

Weight Lost: -15 lbs

Jean Sizes Lost: -2

Bodyfat Lost: -7%

Brittany is staying committed (continuing the second phase of the 24 Day challenge), with more energy and drive than ever before! She has also set a personal record for herself of a barbell deadlift of 245!

Keep up the great work Brit!

What if we listened to our bodies more?

    No, you don't run heel to toe. Yes, you probably don't have as strong of a foot as you should.

    Squat/Deadlift patterning, Hard Style lock, the power of Breath, Swing, and Turkish Get-Ups!

    All positive feedback from attendees from various organizations (general public, fitness, law enforcement, military).

    Special thanks to RKCs AJ Oliva & RKC II Steve Freides for bringing bells down.

    Special thanks to Israeli Krav Maga, David Kahn, Abel Kahn, & Chris Eckel for their assistance and generous hosting.

    From myself, a heartful thank you to Dr. Cheng and all attendees. Doc is a great mentor, teacher, and someone I call my brother. I have learned so much from him throughout the weekend and today. Without him and other senior RKCs, I wouldn't have the instruction to better myself in my learning and application.

    To the attendees, I am glad that all of you moved better, learned about your own restrictions, what to work on, and generally appreciated the workshop that you attended.

    Again, thank you.

    More to come in the future.

    For attendees (recommended books/videos):

    Order Authentic RKC Kettlebells (click on the link which will lead you to where to get Kalos Sthenos - Kettlebells from the Ground Up) - Book on the Turkish Get-Up

    Please visit Doc's blog at http://kettlebellslosangeles.blogspot.com/ for more information on Reactive Neuromuscular Training (RNT).

    In the interim, about 40 people are going to get righteous with the Doc tomorrow on a Wednesday afternoon. Hopefully a lot of "a-ha" moments in their movement patterns.

    Then fly out to MN on Thursday.
