Revisiting a Kettlebell and Bodyweight workout: Intermediate-Advanced level AND what’s inside a Skulpt AIM!
It happened again - I wrote a workout for an advanced/intermediate-advanced client then really really wanted to do a version of it myself. Upped the weights here and there, but kept the rep ranges pretty much the same. Slight modification to work around the old school Pavel pull-up program I dusted off for the season (more about that in a few more weeks time when I will have … [Read more...] about Revisiting a Kettlebell and Bodyweight workout: Intermediate-Advanced level AND what’s inside a Skulpt AIM!

I've consumed 1lb of both the Ancient Cacao and Aztec Vanilla and both have a mild but natural flavor, no off-tastes or weird … [Read more...] about Product Review: Paleo Pro Protein Powder Ancient Cacao and Aztec Vanilla
Strength Pyramid: A Simple Kettlebell and Calisthenics Combination
Couldn't resist using this neat photo of the pyramid at the Louvre. Having recently become 41, I remember seeing this interesting structure during its construction (I was VERY young, maybe 7 or 8 at the time). The massive excavation was fascinating, and I would only see the completion of it many years later in the late 90s. "Oh, so that's how it turned out!" The sense of scale … [Read more...] about Strength Pyramid: A Simple Kettlebell and Calisthenics Combination
Stuck Indoors? Here’s a Bodyweight Only Coordination, Strength and Cardio Workout!
As much as I hate to admit it, when the weather outside gets below freezing, I'm much less likely to work out outside. Then, one of my clients emailed asking for an indoor alternative to her regular outdoor activities. This workout is one that I created for a small Upper West Side Manhattan gym where I led classes for a week pretty much for the heck of it. (I wanted to get out … [Read more...] about Stuck Indoors?
