We're Moving PDF Print E-mail
Written by Dave Randolph   

We're Moving! Yes after three years hidden behind the SHPS building we are moving about a mile away to 2508 Plantside Drive. We'll have quite a bit more space (at least 1000 sq. ft. more), 24ft high ceilings, easier access and more street visibility.

It looks like we should be holding classes there on October 3rd, of course that is always subject to change based on build-out issues. Cheryl will have a bigger space and hopefully quieter too!.

The floors are bare concrete so you will be able to wear shoes. I recommended a flat shoe not a cross-trainer or running shoe. Down the road we'll figure out getting flooring of some type put down.

The high ceilings and more floor space means we'll have more room for rings and ropes hanging from above, I will also be looking at various ways to build pullup stations so we can add pullups into workouts. Plus with more running room we'll add in some Prowler work too, I know how much everyone loves that Wink

I'll keep you updated as things progress.

Here's a map showing the new location. Coming from our current location you follow Bluegrass Pkwy to Watterson Tr. and turn left, then go to the next light which is Plantside & turn right. From there we're about 1/4 mile on the left, right next to Bluegrass Martial Arts.

I think it is faster to go that way then to take Blankebaker to Plantside. If you are coming from Downtown or otherwise heading east on I64, get off at Hurstbourne Ln and got STRAIGHT across Hurstbourne. You'll take a sharp left and pass in front of Carmax and Dairy Queen. When you get to the light by the hotel, turn right. That is Plantside Dr. Take that through the next light (Bunsen) and go another mile, we'll be on your right.

Coming from J-town heading up Watterson Tr. turn left at Plantside which is the next light past Skyview Park (baseball fields).

Holly Rigsby Endorses IronBody Fitness PDF Print E-mail
Written by Dave Randolph   

Holly Rigsby owner of http://www.getfitandyummy.com a fitness site devoted to helping women lose the fat after having a baby is a client of mine. She, her husabd Pat who is a highly regarded fitness business consultant among other things and Tyler all attend classes at IronBody.

Holly has been doing kettlebells with me since the family moved here from Elizabethtown, Ky in January of 2009. I trained she and Pat in kettlebells and Holly has beeen training with me ever since. She even ran some classes for me last year when I went out of town.

Pat just started back with me after deciding he needs me to kick his butt back into shape Sealed. Tyler started in my kids ShaolinDo Kids class at its inception about 2 months ago. He's is doing great.

Here's a entry on Holly's Blog about her experiences with me

Kettlebells, Kung Fu and the Spartan Warrior Workout

1+kung+fu Kettlebells, Kung Fu and the Spartan Warrior Workout
A Week’s Worth of Fitness

Here’s another peek into our family’s weekly routine!





Staying active and fit is a priority for everyone in my family.

No matter what the season, Tyler is involved in at least 1 sport and encouraged to take part in free play after homework.

Morning walks aside, my husband and also I make time to workout together at least twice a week when our schedules allow us to – that is : )

Dave Randolph’s kettlebell studio “Iron Body Fitness” is actually a place that we ALL frequent throughout the week.

I take my kettlebell class once a week as well as see Cheryl for my pre-natal massages (Absolute HEAVEN!). Patrick meets with Dave for corrective based workouts and Tyler sees Dave twice a week for Kung Fu Class.

Keeping Tyler active as well as SHOWING him that staying active is a priority in our lives too, has influenced Tyler in so many positive ways.

From the focus and dedication he puts into his classes and practices (as seen in the video) to the way he spends his free time.

This kid can be seen taking the time to improve whatever skill was taught that week with no prompting from us. While he loves to read and is “into” Harry Potter, he has such an active spirit it is hard for him to sit still for long. When he is up and moving, instead of wandering aimlessly – he has a focus and takes pride in the fun he has as he practices on his own.

This makes me so proud and thankful that not only have our habits rubbed off on him, but we have set him up to be successful by getting him involved with activities that compliment his needs and personality. Plus we have been blessed to have the opportunity to have such amazing coaches – such as Dave Randolph!

And I have to brag on HIM for a moment since he has played such a big role in all our lives. I am so excited to share that Dave is officially a published author! Check out his new book “The Spartan Warrior Workout”!

spartan+warrior Kettlebells, Kung Fu and the Spartan Warrior Workout

Of course I had to run over and get my copy of Spartan Warrior Workout autographed!


dave+and+holly Kettlebells, Kung Fu and the Spartan Warrior Workout

So here you have another glimpse into the Rigsby’s weekly routine and the importance and impact fitness has on each of our lives.

Not only do I encourage that you create a physical culture for you and your family, but to Surround Yourself with those who have similar values.

The Despicable Reason Behind Raw Milk Bans PDF Print E-mail

The Despicable Reason Behind Raw Milk Bans

Posted By Dr. Mercola | July 20 2010 | 4,970 views

raw 
milkGovernment, public health and dairy industry officials want to restrict the sale and distribution of raw milk, citing safety concerns. But small dairy farmers, organic consumers' advocates and raw milk drinkers say that safety isn't the real issue -- it's control of the dairy market.

In January, the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources (MDAR) proposed new regulations that would ban off-the-farm sale and distribution of raw milk. Prior to making the regulations public, MDAR issued cease-and-desist orders to four milk-buying clubs.

While no one has died in Massachusetts because of raw milk, three people died in 2007 from Listeriosis from pasteurized milk.

According to In These Times:

"Considering the relative safety of raw milk and its possible health benefits, campaigns against its legalization are surprisingly intense, and not just in Massachusetts."

David Gumpert, author of The Raw Milk Revolution, argues that regulation is "not about safety -- it's about protecting markets."

Sources:

 

Dr. Mercola's Comments:

The FDA and CDC have been particularly aggressive recently in their efforts to crack down on raw milk under the pretense of public health safety. But the truth remains that not only is raw milk a health-promoting food, it is oftentimes safer than the pasteurized varieties both state and federal governments are rallying behind.

David Gumpert, author of The Raw Milk Revolution, pointed out, for instance, that while no one has died in Massachusetts because of raw milk, three people died in 2007 from pasteurized milk tainted with Listeriosis.

And as In These Times reported, according to CDC data from 1993 to 2006 there were about 116 illnesses a year linked to raw milk -- that amounts to less than .000002 percent of the 76 million people who contract a food-borne illness in the United States each year!

It is very apparent that the regulatory agencies have put blinders on to these statistics as they carry on with their ruthless crusade to ban raw milk and make it illegal for you to drink it.

Why?

Because they are looking out for the interests of Big Dairy produced in factory farms.

Industrial Dairy Farmers Cannot Safely Produce Raw Milk

Raw milk has been gaining popularity for years now. In Massachusetts, the number of dairies licensed to sell raw milk grew from 12 to 23 in just two years, while the Northeast Organic Farming Association stated that dairies are selling more raw milk than they were just five years ago, and consumers call in every week looking for advice on where to find it.

The conventional dairy industry, realizing this, has redoubled their efforts to make sure that raw milk sales are not able to grow, and certainly not able to become mainstream, where they could begin to threaten their very own livelihoods.

If raw dairy really caught on, you would think that the dairy industry would simply follow suit and begin producing raw products to meet the demand. But this would be virtually impossible.

Their business depends on pasteurization, and that is why their powerful lobbyists will stop at nothing to persuade government agencies to keep raw milk bans in full force.

Only Healthy Milk, from Healthy Cows, Can be Consumed Raw

There's a vast difference between the quality and safety of milk from organically raised, grass-fed cows, and conventionally raised, grain-fed livestock. Conventional dairy farms are not typically set up to produce healthy milk, and really the very idea of producing mass quantities of milk from huge numbers of cows confined to one area is contrary to the very nature of healthy milk.

Cows that are fed grain and raised under substandard conditions will likely produce milk that is unhealthy to drink raw because grains, antibiotics, growth hormones, and filthy living conditions change the pH balance and the natural bacteria present in a cow's gut, which in turn affects the natural bacteria and pathogens present in their milk.

In order for conventional dairy farms to safely produce raw milk, they'd be forced to clean up their production practices, raise healthier cows (and likely fewer cows), and give them access to pasture. This would cost them money … lots of money, if it were even possible at all – and that is a very big "if."

This is why, when buying raw milk, it's very important to make sure you're buying milk that has been produced with the intention of being consumed raw, and not just raw milk from conventionally-raised cows that hasn't gone through the pasteurization process yet.

It also begs the question, if the milk produced by most dairy farms has to be pasteurized to remove the filth and bacteria it ordinarily contains … is it really something you want to drink?

Who Should be Able to Limit Your Right to Unpasteurized, Unprocessed Food?

If you're thinking "no one," you're going to have to duke it out with the FDA.

Earlier this year, the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund (FTCLDF) filed a lawsuit against the FDA over their raw milk ban, claiming it is unconstitutional. The FDA's rebuttal contained the following extremely concerning and outrageous statements, which make it very clear they believe you have no right to unprocessed food:

  • "There is no absolute right to consume or feed children any particular food."
  • "There is no 'deeply rooted' historical tradition of unfettered access to foods of all kinds."
  • "Plaintiffs' assertion of a 'fundamental right to their own bodily and physical health, which includes what foods they do and do not choose to consume for themselves and their families' is similarly unavailing because plaintiffs do not have a fundamental right to obtain any food they wish."
  • The FDA's brief goes on to state that "even if such a right did exist, it would not render the FDA's regulations unconstitutional because prohibiting the interstate sale and distribution of unpasteurized milk promotes bodily and physical health."
  • "There is no fundamental right to freedom of contract."

Since when did the FDA have authority to tell you what you can and cannot eat and feed your children? Apparently they believe they've had it all along.

If you go by these assertions, it means the FDA has the authority to prohibit any food of their choosing and make it a crime for you to seek it out. If, one day, the FDA deems tomatoes, broccoli or cashews capable of causing you harm (which is just as ludicrous as their assertions that raw milk is harmful), they could therefore enact such a ban and legally enforce it.

What this means is that freedom of food choice is a myth if you live in the United States, and this simply is not acceptable.

Unfortunately, state governments have been dutifully following suit, no doubt after intense pressure from the dairy industry.

In May, for instance, after weeks of lobbying by the Wisconsin dairy industry, Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle vetoed a bill that would have made sale of on-the-farm raw milk legal, stating he "must side with public health and safety of the dairy industry."

In Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources issued cease-and-desist orders to four milk-buying clubs and proposed new regulations to ban off-the-farm sale and distribution of raw milk.

In their lawsuit, FTCLDF also pointed out that the FDA is taking an unfairly harsh approach with raw milk compared to other raw foods. For instance, unpasteurized juices are sold with just a warning label letting consumers know the juice has not been pasteurized, while raw milk has been outright banned in many states.

Is it a coincidence that some of the states where raw milk sales are illegal are also among the largest dairy producers in the United States (namely Wisconsin and Iowa)?

Hardly.

Do You Want Easy Access to Raw Milk?

By joining the fight to make access to healthy raw milk a right for all Americans, you are not only standing up for raw milk; you're taking a stand to protect your freedom of food choice.

No one, and certainly not any government agency or dairy lobby, should be able to restrict your access to pure, unadulterated food. Organizations like the Weston A. Price Foundation and the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund are working toward true freedom of choice for American consumers, and I urge you to get involved in their causes.

For more information, I urge you to listen to my interview with Mark McAfee, the founder of Organic Pastures, one of the largest producers of raw milk in the United States, along with this video with health and business journalist David E. Gumpert.

You can also find lots of valuable information in Gumpert's book, The Raw Milk Revolution, and on McAfee's Web site www.OrganicPastures.com.

 Kentucky has joined the ranks of Mississippi and Alabama on a top 10 list we don't want to be on: The Top 10 Fattest States in the U.S.

According the article in the Courier Journal (link above) Kentuckians are #7 on the list.

Get with it people, all it takes is some self-discipline and being smart about what you eat!

All food companies are out for one thing your MONEY, they don't about your health. The add sugar, fat and salt to almost everything - these three items are extremely addictive to the brain, as bad as nicotine!

Read the labels, take a Nutrition Course if you don't know how, get some exercise, High Intensity Interval Training with weights is the best way to lose fat and keep it off.

IronBody Fitness has helped hundreds of people, we want to help you too, and that includes your kids too !
