Adrienne: I met Tracy through giryagirl.com and twitter - and after she mentioned she was trying Josh Hillis's 21 Day Kettlebell Swing Challenge, we started to converse more and more on twitter - Q&A, funny stories, recipes, encouragement etc. It's been a great time!! Anyhow, after she completed the challenge, I encouraged Tracy to write up her experience with it and to … [Read more...] about Tracy’s Success Story and Fitness Journey with Kettlebells, Dragon Door, and the 21 Day Kettlebell Swing Challenge!

A Ramp Up Week – A 5 Day Workout Restart
For some of us who tend to be high energy, it's tough to take a break, even just a de-load week (or two). But it's also hard to come back. This time I chose a "little bit each day" approach that made sense for my level before the break. And it worked. Since I'd kind of been overdoing it before taking time off, I wanted to make sure not to come back full tilt. Before the break I … [Read more...] about A Ramp Up Week – A 5 Day Workout Restart
Kettlebell Workout: Crushing the Week
In the advanced kettlebell workouts I lead each week, we have the joke that we crush the workout so that the week doesn't crush us. This obviously isn't the answer for everyone, but for certain... "type-A personalities", knowing that we have a very concrete list of to-dos we can knock out in an hour that will also make us stronger - physically, mentally, etc. is a welcome … [Read more...] about Kettlebell Workout: Crushing the Week
Black Friday / Cyber Monday 2021 Guide!
It's Black Friday Guide Time Again! Especially since it started early at many places .... there seems to be quite a bit of "early Black Friday / Cyber Monday" action happening this year. Part of the reason I'm a little late with this year's guide is because I've been helping a few small ecommerce companies implement their sales this year. However, it's far from being "too … [Read more...] about Black Friday / Cyber Monday 2021 Guide!
A Higher Volume Workout Challenge
Crank It UP! This past Wednesday, we decided to tackle a somewhat advanced challenge, and upped the volume a little bit. The workout below is fairly advanced (especially if you adjust the weights to your current level). It's a smorgasbord of favorite methods, and putting them all together like this is a little bit crazy - however with care, good form and good judgement it was … [Read more...] about A Higher Volume Workout Challenge
Favorite Double Kettlebell Workouts to Celebrate the 14kg Kettlebell Flash Sale!
No more excuses... it's double kettlebell workout time! By the way, doing difficult double kettlebell workouts with a pair of 14kg kettlebells at my size is a really super fun challenge. They have slightly slimmer handles than the 16kg kettlebells, and if you're in the middle women's weight class for RKC testing, then the 14kg is already your go-to kettlebell for high rep … [Read more...] about Favorite Double Kettlebell Workouts to Celebrate the 14kg Kettlebell Flash Sale!
Heavy Duty At Home: A Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
The Advantages and Disadvantages of Home Workouts I've been working out at home or in parks for years... so even with everything happening, it has been business as usual for my own training. But while this is all old hat for me, I do have a few ideas to share if you're used to a more traditional gym setting. Skip to the crazy kettlebell workout. Pros: You pick the … [Read more...] about Heavy Duty At Home: A Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
A Kettlebell Workout for Really Getting Into It, or Getting BACK to it!
It's been really great for the past few weeks both at the small RKC Workshop I led in Raleigh, NC, and with the handful of local people who train with me. Talking about kettlebells more than usual, fielding questions from others and enjoying the nice weather outside has gotten me even MORE fired up about kettlebell training. Some of you may wonder how this is possible, but as … [Read more...] about A Kettlebell Workout for Really Getting Into It, or Getting BACK to it!
Kettlebell Training: a Moment to Learn, a Lifetime to Master
While there are so many more online resources and coaches out there now than when I first got interested in kettlebells (way back in 2008!), getting started with kettlebell training is still not an easy endeavor! There's a lot of GREAT info out there now, but there's a lot of confusing and not-so-great stuff out there as well. I guess this is pretty much the way of the … [Read more...] about Kettlebell Training: a Moment to Learn, a Lifetime to Master
Simple But Challenging Kettlebell and Sandbag Power Workout
This challenge workout is all about power generation, and should only be considered by intermediate-advanced or advanced kettlebell users. Form with swings and snatches should be solid, and a set of 10 pushups should be incredibly easy. The pushups here are used as a grip break and not so much as a strength move on their own. With that said, the workout can be scaled down for … [Read more...] about Simple But Challenging Kettlebell and Sandbag Power Workout
