A Comfortable Soul

Free at last

Kathryn Woodall | June 9, 2010

Until finding and practicing Intu-Flow® in 2006, I dealt with a large amount of back pain that often included searing pain down my leg.  It took about 5 months of daily practice, but that pain went away and has stayed gone.  Given all I’d tried to escape the pain and how many years it had [...]

Knee Surgery Prehab

Kathryn Woodall | April 22, 2010

Before I continue writing about the excitement of my recent trip and encounters with some very cool people, it is time to come back to the knee article I promised a few months ago. In November my cat ran into my leg and my knee popped.  By the middle of December I was using crutches [...]

Where the time goes…

Kathryn Woodall | March 3, 2010

It has been a while since posting.  In addition to working on the nutrition book that Coach Sonnon and I are getting closer to releasing, I’ve also undergone surgery on my knee – arthroscopic with micro-fracture.  Getting ready for surgery is a bit like getting ready to go on a long vacation without the opportunity [...]

Do You Have a Broken Wing?

Kathryn Woodall | July 2, 2009

So as to not be misleading, I’m not talking about a bum shoulder or elbow.  What I am talking about comes from Circular Strength Training® (CST) but can be applied to all forms of exercise.  (For a more detail explanation of CST, please see the bottom of this post.) CST is a 3-winged system that [...]

12 Minute Stage Crazy Workout

Kathryn Woodall | June 19, 2009

My good friend, Ryan Murdock, recently developed a cardio program for musicians (check it out under DVD’s and manuals HERE).  Not only is it a rocking workout designed for rock stars, but it gives anyone with a busy schedule the opportunity to take a few minutes for their health. Is 12 minutes really enough? I’ve [...]

Marginal Journeys to Meaningful Places

Kathryn Woodall | June 6, 2009

The title of today’s blog is a rearrangement of Ryan Murdock’s travel blog tagline, Meaningful Journeys to Marginal Places.  (Please check it out at http://www.ryanmurdock.com/).  While Ryan’s blog takes you on the open road, this one is an inward journey. We are often creatures of habit – repeating our day to day routines, behaviors, and [...]

Over half way!

Kathryn Woodall | March 3, 2009

My husband and I are celebrating our wedding anniversary today so this will be short.  There are steaks waiting to be grilled and a salad to make, but I wanted to touch base with all of you before spending the rest of the day with him. Today is day 46 of the New Day’s Evolution [...]

“Bodyweight Exercise Revolution” – an interview with the authors! — Part II

Kathryn Woodall | February 14, 2009

We are back today with Coach Adam Steer for the second part of the Bodyweight Exercise Revolution (BER) interview!  Today is day 27 of a 28 day cycle based upon the principles of BER and my results have been fantastic.  I’ve lost over 9 pounds of body fat, lost 2.5 inches from my waist, and [...]

Life Is Martial Art

Kathryn Woodall | February 11, 2009

For those who have been asking what I learned from the last few years, this post gives at least a partial answer. While it isn’t something that I pursue, I have friends who are martial artists.  They aren’t the dime-store version either ̶ they are recognized internationally for their skill.  So when they say ‘life [...]

Your Health Today

Kathryn Woodall | February 4, 2009

For those following along with the New Day’s Evolution, how is it going?  I’m finding those 3 daily things are really adding up!  My endurance is improving, my waist is smaller, I’m loving doing something daily that adds to my happiness, my relationships are experiencing positive growth, and I’m waking up looking forward to completing [...]
