About

Looking for a challenge? Need inspiration? Need workout tips and tricks to help you meet your goals and keep your workouts fresh?

Then you’ve come to the right place.

This blog is all about challenges: some physical, some mental. It’s about being better, getting better, being your best. It’s all about ways to push the envelop and become a better person.

Stay tuned to my blog for all kinds of workouts. I’ll put my unique spin on things and I promise that I won’t challenge you to a workout that I won’t subject myself to as well. That’s the fun part of it for me.

And considering I could quite possibly be twice the age of some readers, and a woman to boot, I hope I can inspire you to get in on the fun too.

I”m Shawna K. I’m in the business of living on the edge, challenging myself and then rising up to the challenge. I’m also about training properly and safely. I’m in my forties and I can’t afford to be hurt and neither can you. I”m about giving you the tools to meet your challenging goals in the safest, most cutting edge manner.

I am a long time athlete with many accomplishments to my name.

  2. I don’t even know how I finished up right here, however I assumed this post was good. I don’t realize who you are but definitely you are going to a famous blogger if you aren’t already. Cheers!

    I would really like to know how you have accomplished so much while still being an educator for 20 years! It is amazing what you have accomplished! And please don’t take this wrongly – I definitely believe all that you say you did! I would just be curious to know where things overlapped in your life and more of a timeline. (And you raised at least one kid along the way as well.) You go Girl!! REally! 🙂

    You are one of my coaches and I have purchased 2 of your programs. (Yes I’ve purchased other programs recently. Just building up my library for the time when I can retire, I guess. 😉 ) I haven’t had time yet to look at them in detail, but have started utilizing some of your exercises in my current routine. I’m excited to get started using your full workout routines, but I have to set my priorities right now.

    So anyway, if you ever feel so inclined to provide a little more timeline with your history, I’d certainly find it interesting to read. And thanks for being a great role model as I’m roughly your age as well!
