This past week was crazy busy, but now that I've got a little bit of time, there's two quick workouts to share! One was indoors, the other outdoors, but both were fun in their own way and combined strength elements with a little bit of HIIT too. I've continued to enjoy using the fan bike for 8 all out sets of 20 seconds on, 10 seconds rest at the end of workouts.

Kettlebell Double Trouble Combo Two Ways
Once again, I wrote a workout for an intermediate client, then felt the need to write a version of it specific to my own needs. I'll present both of them to you here.

Another Challenging Element to Try with Neuro-Grips, and Two Workouts
Until today, it hadn't occured to me that I'd always used the same grip with my Neuro-Grips... even at the Neuro-Grip Challenge book photoshoot... It's always been with the stem of the grip between my middle finger and ring finger. (Upper left in the photo below.) The only reason I figured that out today was that I'd "buddy taped" my left ring finger to my left middle … [Read more...] about Another Challenging Element to Try with Neuro-Grips, and Two Workouts

A Fast and “Foxy” EMOM Workout for Kettlebells and Bodyweight
In the course of working on a top secret special video project (hinted at the other day on social media) I've recently reintroduced the sumo squat back into my regular workout rotation. For fun, I decided to add it into this little 12 minute EMOM workout - I basically did it as a break, as there is more workout to come this evening with some skill and more max strength work. … [Read more...] about A Fast and “Foxy” EMOM Workout for Kettlebells and Bodyweight
Two Ingredient Instant Pot Make-Ahead Red Chile Enchilada Sauce Chicken!
