It's that brief but magical time of the year in Florida where on a few days it is very nice outside. Soon, it will be unbearably hot, humid, and with afternoons full of steaming hot rain. BUT until that time, I try to get outside (in the shade at least) as much as possible. Yes, this is a silly graphic, but it's 100% true. I really enjoy observing the occasional bird of … [Read more...] about Slackline and Mace Experimental Challenge – Unconventional Outdoor Balance and Mobility Training [VIDEO]
Lots of Videos, Pull-Ups, Interviews, Monkey Bar Monday, Healthy Skoop, Sewing?!??
It's been fun to explore another part of the city a little, and I was thrilled to find that the fit trail on Lake Ivanhoe is well within a short walking distance of the coworking/makerspace. Here's what went down for Monkey Bar Monday by the way... do you have a fit trail near you? One of my favorite things to do with a small group or one on one client is to … [Read more...] about Lots of Videos, Pull-Ups, Interviews, Monkey Bar Monday, Healthy Skoop, Sewing?!??

Makerspace Coworking, Office Snacks, Offsetting Sedentary Work, Exercise Snacks, and a Vlog!
As many of you may have already gathered, even though I do train individual clients, help prospective RKCs, RKC-IIs, PCCs to prepare for workshops, lead a kettlebell and bodyweight focused small group class, teach occasional out of town classes/workshops, and when asked ALWAYS am happy to help teach a PCC workshop, training others is not the main thing I do "as a job". I kinda … [Read more...] about Makerspace Coworking, Office Snacks, Offsetting Sedentary Work, Exercise Snacks, and a Vlog!
The FUTURE of Personal Training… Podcast with Rolando Garcia III, Author of Intrinsic Excellence
I've been friends with Rolando Garcia III for a while now, and we seem to have a fun tradition of meeting up for lunch and having great discussions whenever I visit NYC. While we decided to spare you the restaurant noises, we didn't want to deprive you of a podcast. Considering that Rolando's book launched just a few days ago, it seemed more than appropriate to get this … [Read more...] about The FUTURE of Personal Training… Podcast with Rolando Garcia III, Author of Intrinsic Excellence
Whew! So Much Going On! Here’s a Recipe and a Workout
Q: "When do you sleep?" A: "That's classified." I was way too excited about these ingredients at 1AM while making this video... But in all seriousness, like many of you I have a pretty full tilt, nearly 24/hr day. As a friend of mine out west is now really discovering, exercise is a privilege. He injured himself and is having to take time off. Already we're seeing … [Read more...] about Whew! So Much Going On! Here’s a Recipe and a Workout
I was a guest on the Red Delta Project Podcast, Plus a Bodyweight Only Workout, and a Video
A few days ago I had the honor of being the first ever guest on PCC Team Leader, Matt Shifferle's Red Delta Project Podcast. Once again, as when he was recently the guest on MY podcast, we had a ton of fun discussing some of our favorite topics, calisthenics, the PCC, great food, training strategies and more. At the risk of bragging, it seems like we get around to some … [Read more...] about I was a guest on the Red Delta Project Podcast, Plus a Bodyweight Only Workout, and a Video
Podcast and Advanced Kettlebell Tutorial Video: Visit to NYC Part 3 – Checking in with Master RKC Phil Ross and Nykki Ross
There's so much material to share with you from the NYC trip that it's frankly kind of overwhelming at the moment... However, seeing as the cat is out of the bag (oh Facebook...) on the fun and informative podcast with father-daughter super-duo Master RKC Phil Ross and Nykki Ross, I wanted to share it here ASAP. To be fair, I didn't tell them that I usually upload to … [Read more...] about Podcast and Advanced Kettlebell Tutorial Video: Visit to NYC Part 3 – Checking in with Master RKC Phil Ross and Nykki Ross
How to Join the 1%… of Kettlebell and Calisthenics Strength
I forget what business summit I was attending but for good or for ill my behaviors as an iconoclast, contrarian, and overall weirdo were being verbally encouraged by the speaker. It's fun to finally be commended for going against the tide, of swimming upstream, and NOT doing what everyone else is doing. The speaker was saying that the much maligned "1%"--at … [Read more...] about How to Join the 1%… of Kettlebell and Calisthenics Strength
Who Froze Better? GiryaGirl or the Denver Broncos? Happy Super Bowl Sunday!
In a weird edition of "who wore it better" I present my recorded cryotherapy live stream archive video alongside a report from the Denver Broncos, one of the many pro teams out there who also use cryotherapy for recovery. It's a funny, fun weird thing to do and I have my fifth session on Tuesday, and plan to share a little more about the how and why at that point as well. … [Read more...] about Who Froze Better?
