I have been in an uber-experimental mood this past month or so and have been trying a lot of new things and/or things I haven’t done in YEARS. It’s been great fun 😉
One thing I have been wanting to try is Bollywood cardio at Dance Identity in Sunnyvale. I thought it would be totally ridiculous, fun; I wanted to try a new dance style; I figured this style of cardio sure beats the endlessly revolving stepmill! I asked my client ...

I am delighted to share with you that I will be a GUEST INSTRUCTOR for a BGIRL/BBOY BOOT CAMP! My homegirl Nurse Boogie from my old crew, Extra Credit Kru, will be hosting this boot camp. She is an amazing dancer and athlete and performs with the awesome Mix’d Ingredients, and does breaking, popping, samba, salsa, and basically any kind of dance. AND in heels. Seriously.

“I would highly recommend Kristina to anyone looking for guidance, motivation, and a little extra push for their workouts. She is extremely knowledgeable, inventive with the exercises she gives, and super fun and supportive. She is also HILARIOUS, while she is kicking your butt. She is a true badass, she’ll take no excuses–if you’re feeling whiney, she’ll have you boxing–and you will ALWAYS feel a million ...

Squatting with chains is a nice variation. Instead of just squatting with the barbell, you add chains to the sides so that as the squatter descends, more of the chains lay on the floor, decreasing the overall load. As the squatter ascends, the chains are raised from the floor, increasing the overall load. This requires greater force production at the ...

great tidbit from The Daily Love:
“We are not seeking to get something from someone else, really. We are seeking the feeling place of the presence of Love in our lives. And that starts to come in when we start to Love ourselves enough to take action that shows us that we ...

“Kristina ROCKS! I am one of those people in a constant back and forth battle between the couch (with a bowl of ice cream) and working out. Training with Kristina is the ONLY component that has kept me working out consistently for close to two years straight. She doesn’t just push me in some generic way (although I know she could if she felt that is how someone needed to be pushed)…she ...
Continue Reading →Sunday morning, 730 AM. I hop out of bed, throw on some warm layers and greet the crisp air. Luckily, Centennial Way Trail is only a few minutes walk from my house, so soon enough I am strolling down this long strip of cement. Is is the most scenic trail? No it’s not. But all I need is an empty trail. And at 730 AM on a chilly Sunday, that’s what I get. As I walk from South San Francisco ...

Unfortunately, there are personal circumstances that do not permit me to do the show. I have to focus on these circumstances at the forefront before I can provide a new show date with certainty.
Although I want to keep plugging through, I know that my decision is for the best, and I will come back stronger, badder, and tougher than ever. Your ...

After 2 days off completely from training, I hit the gym today ready to go! It was great. Here’s how it turned out:
10 min walk/jog (6 min in my target zone of HR ...

Not only is Ava Cowan one of my favorite figure competitors because she is amazingly gorgeous, but she is incredibly grounded and driven. I liked the post I am going to share because she ...
