This week I created two different "10 round" workouts for two different people--at two different levels and who have different sets of challenges. Then of course after seeing how well they both did, and while remembering how much fun I have with these types of things, I had to do one too! 10 round workouts are a funny thing, and I like them a lot. Completing them results in … [Read more...] about Short On Time But Craving Power: The Joy of 10-Round Simple Workouts

Strange Human Truths Unearthed by Kettlebell Training
A really cool article came out today on DragonDoor.com from Master RKC Chris Holder. Chris has a long history as a strength and conditioning coach for collegiate athletics. He’s observed some very interesting human behavior to say the least. In his article, two short quotes immediately jogged my brain and reminded me of several odd observations from my own experience as both a … [Read more...] about Strange Human Truths Unearthed by Kettlebell Training

These Bold Tart and Spicy Kale Chips are Extreme!
I tested these "x-treme" kale chips on a few people who normally would not want to be caught dead eating something as "foo foo" as kale chips. They ate them all, one even ate them in public at work, which is a big deal. Adjust the spicy heat up or down to your liking, these savory chips are all gone too soon. I've taken to making double batches now and have bought additional … [Read more...] about These Bold Tart and Spicy Kale Chips are Extreme!
An Under 25 Minute Stacking Kettlebell Workout! Intermediate Level
There's always a few interesting moments in a stacking workout - the first is usually a false sense of security, or the quickly fleeting thought that you might have chosen a kettlebell that's a little too light. Cherish these moments, because a few minutes (or for some, seconds) that same kettlebell may feel mysteriously waaay heavier. Because I wanted to go straight though, … [Read more...] about An Under 25 Minute Stacking Kettlebell Workout! Intermediate Level

Backyard Challenge! Using Everything in a Sequence
Earlier today I was training someone with kettlebells and had also brought out a very cool pair of custom made paralettes from Ryan Pitts of Stronger Grip. They are excellent for l-sits as well as slightly raised push-ups (we even sometimes do push up walks up and down the two of them). Later I set up the slackline, then decided to get out the throwing knives and throwing … [Read more...] about Backyard Challenge! Using Everything in a Sequence
Nutritionally Dense Salmon Cheese Dip / Fresh Veggie Stuffing
After falling into a canned salmon wormhole the other night, I found a video describing a similar recipe that I wanted to adapt for simplicity. Must admit, I mixed up a batch and have been eating it basically all day with super thinly sliced seedless cucumber "chips" (I serve them with hummus too sometimes) cut with a mandolin. I'm also considering stuffing jalapeno and mini … [Read more...] about Nutritionally Dense Salmon Cheese Dip / Fresh Veggie Stuffing
