Think before you pass the blame. Seriously. Are you unhappy with some particular aspect of your life? Fitness? Money issues? Relationships? Or whatever else? Listen to the "voices in your head." What are they saying? Are they passing the blame? Are they arguing aggravating or mitigating circumstances?* I know a lot of people who blame their problems on things … [Read more...] about Excuses are Incredibly Dangerous for You and Other People Too!

Ivan’s Debut – a Kettlebell Workout and goofy story to start off your week!
If you don't know what you're doing - PLEASE don't try this at home - seek out a local RKC or HKC instructor and learn the techniques correctly. Youtube and TV are not good, safe sources of information. Certain popular tv personalities have taught some fairly horrendous form to the masses over the past few years and I just really hope people aren't getting hurt. You don't … [Read more...] about Ivan’s Debut – a Kettlebell Workout and goofy story to start off your week!

Fitness Conspiracy Theories and How To Fight Back!
It's funny - every time I hint about a "conspiracy theory," many of you perk up, some of you text, some email, some even call! If I'm ever feeling lonely, I really know what to do. HA.

Walk Tall and Carry a Heavy Kettlebell
Made a fantastic fabulous discovery Friday afternoon - since delving further into Convict Conditioning vol 2, especially the clutch flag section (Thanks for egging me on, Aleks Salkin) I started to view the neighborhood a little differently - I already consider the world to be a gym waiting to happen, but this really brought it into focus. That plus fingertip pull ups with … [Read more...] about Walk Tall and Carry a Heavy Kettlebell
Blue Bentley Bites
I popped a few of these into my mouth before someone handed me the "keys" to a 2012 Bentley Mulsanne - I consider these stuffed mushrooms to be good luck of the highest order.

Variety Circuit for Kettlebell and Bodyweight
On Monday we did a little bit of a "fitness test" just to set a benchmark - since the small group members are getting stronger - I can't wait to see how they do the next time around. BUT since I'm not around to call you out for bad reps, I've modified what we did on Monday for a self directed timed circuit. Full of variety - speaking of variety, we dragged out ALL the … [Read more...] about Variety Circuit for Kettlebell and Bodyweight
Abstract goals and the road to strength
It used to annoy the heck out of me when I'd meet someone presently or formerly very successful in their technical or artistic field (a former newscaster, various artists, filmmakers, writers, programmers, etc.) and upon asking them about what they did, they'd come back with some kind of abstract answer like: "I'm a Storyteller." Problem was, I didn't get it at the time. Now … [Read more...] about Abstract goals and the road to strength
