Since the last update, I visited Wat Chalong, the biggest and most ornate of Phuket’s 29 Buddhist temples:
I also visited The Big Buddha, one of Phuket’s most important and revered landmarks (though still under construction). The Big Buddha sits on top ...

I am staying at a place called “Dream Village.” The owner, Tony, is an awesome guy (born and raised in Phuket) who has gone out of his way to help get me settled.
Others, such as The Fight ...
Yes, lovelies, it’s that all-too-infrequent time to update the bloggie. Sorry! I love you!! 😉
Exercise
As far as exercise has been concerned (of course I must start with the most important topic LOL), I have been unable to train in muay thai and jiu jitsu due to my toe healing. It was only recently that I started to feel comfortable enough to even box with it (e.g. have to be a bit light on the ...

“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!”

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 ...
Continue Reading →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!
I made a post-workout shake with ½ a bottle of Pom, 1 scoop Isopure strawberry whey, a few frozen strawberries, a ...
Continue Reading →I first became acquainted with Super Body Care (SBC) when my boyfriend at the time would take jiu jitsu class and he would always come right home from class and immediately take a shower with SBC products. 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 ...
Continue Reading →Sunday morning. Posted up at the gym with my computer, silence in the studio, cars in the street streaming by, sounds of traffic ebbing and flowing. I have about 10 minutes before my client comes. 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 ...
Continue Reading →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 ...
