Brad wrote about me on Yelp 😉
“I have trained at a bunch of other places – Equinox, Frank Shamrock’s MMA gym, and can honestly say that Kristina is a class above. She combines great theoretical knowledge with a rare practicality and I leave the studio drenched, smarter, and feeling great. I have lost 40 pounds so far (in no small part due to Kristina) and encourage everyone to check out what the “buzz” is about!”
Well, my beauties, where do I start? So much has happened!
I guess I’ll just start by sharing a bit about my trip to the world famous OLYMPIA! I was very excited! I did NOT successfully get to gush effusively to Tanji Johnson (my favorite fitness competitor) but I did see plenty of eye candy (though none that seriously caught my eye, maybe I’m blind), and I was so excited to see all the famous fitness models! My favorite sightings were ...

Ryan from Pom was kind enough to send me a sample of Pom- the pomegranate juices in those cute curvaceous bottles.
Pom is chok-ful of antioxidant power! Pom is a good post-workout drink because it has 34 g of sugar per 8 oz- those fast–digesting carbs you need after resistance training!

SBC products are special because they have the strength/properties to combat yucky disgusting diseases like staph!
(You’re lucky I spared you from ACTUAL pics of people who have gotten staph. Go google it for ...

Can I knock out a synopsis of Life of Kristina? I’ll spare you the emotional piece, and focus for the most part on fitness.
One huge thing is that I joined a local fight gym and I am so in love with fighting. A few years ...

I came across this article on T-Nation the other day- a great site, might I say. I think the issue of contraction and mobility, particularly in the shoulder, is extremely relevant and significant because so many people EVERYWHERE deal with this. If not now, they will! Due to the extreme tightness in the pecs and lats due to extended computer activity, reading, hunching over, terrible posture, America’s obsession with bench pressing, and a whole variety of other factors- coupled ...

My client just lent me a book called Fantastic Voyage by Ray Kurzweil and Terry Grossman. It was quite an odd yet interesting book about the science behind “radical life extension”- the point being extending your life long now so you can make it to the point where technology can assist us to live forever. Personally, I don’t know if I would WANT to live forever?! But, I read the book focusing on their recommendations of what promotes an outstanding ...

Want to shed weight fast? Here are some tips for accelerated weight loss. This is not necessarily a way to live 24/7, but they can help to get you over a hump if your weight loss is stalled, or if you *cough* come back from an Alaskan cruise and want to counteract the week of sitting on a boat coupled with multiple course meals at every glacier….

- Ditch processed foods.

Yay! Another article up on Bodysport.com 😉
They cut and edited my article and now there is a typo (I didn’t do it! lol) but yayy I like my work out there 😉
