“just right”–the goldilocks bell 12/3/08
Since my conversion to kettlebells, via deadlifting, I’ve been a rabid advocate of lifting heavy, for both men and women–especially women. The GoFit kettlebells run in sizes as small as 10 pounds; but Sarah Lurie, who is the face and voice for the GoFit line of KBs, and an RKC-certified instructor, would no doubt get …

The spirit of the season is upon us. Some of that spirit comes via 90 proof- stirred, shaken and poured over ice. Alcohol sales from Thanksgiving to New Year’s account for 25 percent of the distilled spirits industry yearly profits. With all the tempting food and drinks it’s easy to get …
