Black Friday / Cyber Monday 2021 Guide!
It's Black Friday Guide Time Again! Especially since it started early at many places .... there seems to be quite a bit of "early Black Friday / Cyber Monday" action happening this year. Part of the reason I'm a little late with this year's guide is because I've been helping a few small ecommerce companies implement their sales this year. However, it's far from being "too … [Read more...] about Black Friday / Cyber Monday 2021 Guide!
Neuro-Grips Are Back! (Here’s some tips and workouts which use them)
Neuro-Grips are unforgiving. They don't care if you think you're doing things right - either you are or you're on the ground with bloody knuckles and/or knees if you haven't taken the time to learn how to bail out properly. Respect the Neuro-Grips as they are one of the things you can count on to be honest--cherish this. They don’t care who you are or who you think you are and … [Read more...] about Neuro-Grips Are Back! (Here’s some tips and workouts which use them)
Favorite Double Kettlebell Workouts to Celebrate the 14kg Kettlebell Flash Sale!
No more excuses... it's double kettlebell workout time! By the way, doing difficult double kettlebell workouts with a pair of 14kg kettlebells at my size is a really super fun challenge. They have slightly slimmer handles than the 16kg kettlebells, and if you're in the middle women's weight class for RKC testing, then the 14kg is already your go-to kettlebell for high rep … [Read more...] about Favorite Double Kettlebell Workouts to Celebrate the 14kg Kettlebell Flash Sale!
Grassfed Beef London Broil Obsession and Recipe
I used to cook London broil incorrectly (more like roast beef) and it was still a favorite. Finally decided to get really zen with it and just cook it over and over until it became second nature. Our local food coop, Weaver Street Market, regularly has incredibly tasty local grassfed beef - including London broil cuts, and I couldn't help but notice that even when it's not on … [Read more...] about Grassfed Beef London Broil Obsession and Recipe
Heavy Duty At Home: A Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
The Advantages and Disadvantages of Home Workouts I've been working out at home or in parks for years... so even with everything happening, it has been business as usual for my own training. But while this is all old hat for me, I do have a few ideas to share if you're used to a more traditional gym setting. Skip to the crazy kettlebell workout. Pros: You pick the … [Read more...] about Heavy Duty At Home: A Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
How and Why to Use EMOM Workouts
The Mid-Week EMOM Workout Challenge Over the past few months, a friend and I have been doing very challenging EMOM workouts every Wednesday afternoon - it's been a great way to get a lot of productive lifting done in a short period of time. And because we've both been under a fair amount of stress, this also lets us workout but also give our brains a bit of a rest -- instead … [Read more...] about How and Why to Use EMOM Workouts
Kettlebell Training: a Moment to Learn, a Lifetime to Master
While there are so many more online resources and coaches out there now than when I first got interested in kettlebells (way back in 2008!), getting started with kettlebell training is still not an easy endeavor! There's a lot of GREAT info out there now, but there's a lot of confusing and not-so-great stuff out there as well. I guess this is pretty much the way of the … [Read more...] about Kettlebell Training: a Moment to Learn, a Lifetime to Master
The Final 290 Swings Workout of a 10k Kettlebell Swings Challenge
The title of this post is a little misleading. About a year ago, I told a local advanced kettlebell training client about the 10k kettlebell swings challenge. She really liked the idea and we kicked it off in the park with a 600 swing Sunday Challenge workout... to get her ahead of the game in case the week had other plans for her - especially on a Monday. I sent her a sample … [Read more...] about The Final 290 Swings Workout of a 10k Kettlebell Swings Challenge
Simple Circuit Workouts for Complex Times
Around this time last year, I was preparing to travel to San Jose / Los Gatos for an RKC Workshop with Dr. Chris Holder. Grateful to have not only made that trip, but that I had gotten so much out of it. At that time I thought we might have to endure a short shut down, but I had no idea that life as we know it would be radically altered for the next year (and probably beyond.) … [Read more...] about Simple Circuit Workouts for Complex Times
