Maya,
You are truly an inspiration to all us moms out here. I don’t think I would be brave enough to go on this excursion solo – BRAVO! You look incredible by the way. I asked for a kettlebell at Christmas time. I have an intro tape but I think I need a good workout tape. Could you recommend one?

Warm regards,
Mary J.

John,

We love the guidelines you created for the perfect swing and have been using them in our classes–thank you! Are you ready for doubles?

You are an inspiration to all. Thank you for spreading the gift of the bell. Do we need to add more points to the perfect swing.

I had a blast at my first Ice Chamber kettlebell class! Lucky me to have training from the belles of kettlebell and Steven, coach extraordinaire. You all make it look so easy, but my sore muscles know otherwise. Thank you! (off to chant the 6 sacred rules of technique…)

Thanks for mentioning her Dado! Check the IC blog for more stories and pics about Big Mama on the trip. I thought this would be a great opportunity for her to have a much needed vacation, but boy was I wrong. She came with me to sport camp on day one and insisted on going back everyday–she loved it! She didn’t want to stay by the beach as I expected. She became what one of the guys described as “a lifter’s best friend.” We had never traveled abroad together before so it was very special to experience Greece with her… best decision ever!

Wow Maya, looks like all of the pain was worth it, considering the view from your hotel. I only have one critique- in all that talk about traveling alone you never mentioned that mommy was there along your side! Just kiddin’, but you gots to give Moms props.

En serio, that looked like a lot of work. Don’t ever let me work up the nerve to challenge you to an arm wrestle.

Wonderful article Maya. Your vivid descriptions, honest narration, and sense of adventure are engaging and inspiring. I have no doubt that you left a positive and strong impression on your fellow participants. Once again you have paved the way for us ladies to embrace the big weights, push the limits, and take pride in our powerful femininity.

Way to rock it in Greece Maya. I can’t imagine what it must felt like walking into the gym for the first day being the only woman. I am so sure that they were blown away by your kettlebelling ablities and your overwhelming wellingness to learn about the sport. You have made quite a footprint in the sport especially for us ladies… Can we hide in your suitcase next time??
