Lucky Friday the 13th Kettlebell Workout! This was a fun kind of challenge for our small group today - we brought out a variety of moderate to light kettlebells (12kg, 14kg, 16kg) - in case of needing to switch up or down depending on the way the workout went. Also - don't rush through this one - take breaks and make sure that proper form is maintained. This is a great … [Read more...] about Friday the 13th LUCKY Kettlebell Workout!!!!

The Attitude Adjuster Kettlebell Workout
If you've followed this site for even a short period of time, you know how much I focus on form, and the constant improvement thereof. Today was no exception, this was a collection of a few ideas from various places (the dead swing I-go-you-go ladder was inspired by the Chicago RKC this past year). This workout mainly focuses on the total basics - swings and get ups, with a … [Read more...] about The Attitude Adjuster Kettlebell Workout
Kettlebell Workout As Inspired by the Super Human Training Workshop
Taken from my workshop notes, and the really cool programming ideas in I Will Be Iron, this workout is surprisingly simple but as the participants in yesterday's kettlebell small group will tell you, VERY intense. For that reason, everyone was encouraged to take rests when necessary - of course - keep moving when you take rests. Always begin with joint mobility - and a few … [Read more...] about Kettlebell Workout As Inspired by the Super Human Training Workshop
Orlando HKC Experience – Helping Out, Testing, and More! (Part 2)
We came back from lunch and promptly started back in on the Get Up. I really love the get up - at first, waaaay back when (a couple years ago or more) I was first learning it, I thought it was actually very overwhelming. It seemed awkward and unnecessarily confusing, and somehow (now I have no idea how I was doing this) I'd always end up facing the opposite direction. … [Read more...] about Orlando HKC Experience – Helping Out, Testing, and More!

Another…. 300 Workout
I couldn't resist making this silly graphic - that's my computer science / digital arts degree WORKING HARD FOR YOU! (...must not have class shove neighbor's car around the parking lot for the next '300' workout...) Start out with joint mobility of course, we did a little extra here and there because it's Monday and people seemed a little tired or stressed or something … [Read more...] about Another…. 300 Workout
Endangered Species Chocolate – Organic Health Dark Chocolate with Goldenberry and Lucuma
"What's lucuma?!" My friend asked while we were sharing this bar of chocolate today. Embarassingly I had to admit that I didn't know, but it was fun to watch her eyes bug out when I said I didn't know. Well - now we BOTH know, because inside the wrapper was more info about the included sundried lucuma powder in the chocolate as well as the goldenberries and some very … [Read more...] about Endangered Species Chocolate – Organic Health Dark Chocolate with Goldenberry and Lucuma
Half Beginner Half Advanced – A Kettlebell Workout and Practice Session
Small group consisted of some of our most advanced people on Monday, so it was time to learn something not only new, but fairly advanced. When he came back from the Return of the Kettlebell workshop, Tim Shuman RKCII showed me the ever so nifty double kettlebell snatching technique in the book and as practiced at the workshop. We had pairs of the following kettlebells … [Read more...] about Half Beginner Half Advanced – A Kettlebell Workout and Practice Session
The Ultimate Rebellion: Rejecting Punishment and Deprivation
Something had been bugging me for a VERY long time. Now, I've figured some of it out, after the ideas from some amazing conversations with people I consider to be some of the biggest minds in fitness have congealed. On the left side of the desk is this little heap of paper bits: brainstorms, workouts I've written for clients, myself, or the small group, a few receipts and SD … [Read more...] about The Ultimate Rebellion: Rejecting Punishment and Deprivation
A Traveling Kettlebell Workout with Variety!
Typically for a Friday we had a couple people missing from class - and since I am not one to mope, I saw this as a fun opportunity to do something a little different. Around the neighborhood I've found some fun places to do things like fingertip hangs, pull ups, clutch flags, etc. and what I personally like to do sometimes is to tote a moderate to light kettlebell around for a … [Read more...] about A Traveling Kettlebell Workout with Variety!
