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

Happy New Year – Looking Forward in 2021
While it can be easy to dismiss 2020 as a rough, challenging, and maybe even "bad" year, I wanted to call some attention to some positive things that happened all along the way. It is difficult to remember that this time last year I was hanging out with friends in Rhode Island, having come up from visiting family for Christmas just a few weeks before. Frequent flyer miles were … [Read more...] about Happy New Year – Looking Forward in 2021
Ask GiryaGirl: Bent Press Issues
Q: The Kettlebell Bent Press is very difficult for me. When I do too many my back is injured the next day. I am wondering if the Bent Press is meant to do for reps....or is it something you do only a few times per side (like a Turkish Get Up) at the end of a workout. - Jason A: The Bent Press can be a great exercise if performed correctly, and there's a couple of different … [Read more...] about Ask GiryaGirl: Bent Press Issues

Two Variations Of One Intermediate-Advanced Kettlebell Workout
It's almost funny how often this happens: I write a client workout then realize how fun it sounds... and then I write a modified version that's more specifically aligned with what I'm working on/towards. Here's a very recent example of that exact scenario - and the best part? I get to share two workouts with you at the very same time! Original Workout (For client - general … [Read more...] about Two Variations Of One Intermediate-Advanced Kettlebell Workout

We’ve Got Kettlebells…
Must admit, I'm a bit nervous about this - considering that everyone seems to be sold out. Many weeks ago, in a time that feels like a whole different planet, I bought a ton of kettlebells from a good friend and former Dragon Door distributor. I paid more than cost, and then I paid to have them shipped to me at great expense. The original plan was to include them as bonus … [Read more...] about We’ve Got Kettlebells…
