Guest Appearance on GMB Podcast Plus Experiments with RKC Armbars and Drones!
Normally I'm the one asking the questions, so you can imagine how fun (and such an honor) it was to be a guest on the GMB (Gold Medal Bodies) Podcast this past week. And in a very fun coincidence, the inteview I conducted with Kirsty Grosart for DragonDoor.com also came out around the same time! You may remember Kirsty from an earlier episode of my podcast a few months ago … [Read more...] about Guest Appearance on GMB Podcast Plus Experiments with RKC Armbars and Drones!
Getting Infused with Vitamins… an Experience with IV Vitamin Therapy [Video Included]
Found myself in a bit of a perfect storm... back to back workshops, more travel than normal, a horrendous sleep schedule (totally my fault). When I got back home, all of this led to the ever-dreaded "summer cold". Combine this with the fact that I'd been looking for a good excuse to try iv vitamin therapy (I needed an excuse, the cost was slightly outside my "what the heck, … [Read more...] about Getting Infused with Vitamins… an Experience with IV Vitamin Therapy [Video Included]
Pull-ups, Pull-up grip variations, PLUS Shoulder and Thoracic Spine (Upper Back) Mobility
Since pull-ups and shoulder mobility are inextricably linked, intertwined, and occasionally even inhibit each other, I thought it might be a good idea to have these two videos (and link to Senior RKC Paul Britt's awesome blog post too... keep reading) together. First things first... For people who can do a comfortable 3-5 pull-ups, it can be a fun challenge to (I got this … [Read more...] about Pull-ups, Pull-up grip variations, PLUS Shoulder and Thoracic Spine (Upper Back) Mobility

Slackline and Mace Experimental Challenge – Unconventional Outdoor Balance and Mobility Training [VIDEO]
It's that brief but magical time of the year in Florida where on a few days it is very nice outside. Soon, it will be unbearably hot, humid, and with afternoons full of steaming hot rain. BUT until that time, I try to get outside (in the shade at least) as much as possible. Yes, this is a silly graphic, but it's 100% true. I really enjoy observing the occasional bird of … [Read more...] about Slackline and Mace Experimental Challenge – Unconventional Outdoor Balance and Mobility Training [VIDEO]
Lots of Videos, Pull-Ups, Interviews, Monkey Bar Monday, Healthy Skoop, Sewing?!??
It's been fun to explore another part of the city a little, and I was thrilled to find that the fit trail on Lake Ivanhoe is well within a short walking distance of the coworking/makerspace. Here's what went down for Monkey Bar Monday by the way... do you have a fit trail near you? One of my favorite things to do with a small group or one on one client is to … [Read more...] about Lots of Videos, Pull-Ups, Interviews, Monkey Bar Monday, Healthy Skoop, Sewing?!??
Makerspace Coworking, Office Snacks, Offsetting Sedentary Work, Exercise Snacks, and a Vlog!
As many of you may have already gathered, even though I do train individual clients, help prospective RKCs, RKC-IIs, PCCs to prepare for workshops, lead a kettlebell and bodyweight focused small group class, teach occasional out of town classes/workshops, and when asked ALWAYS am happy to help teach a PCC workshop, training others is not the main thing I do "as a job". I kinda … [Read more...] about Makerspace Coworking, Office Snacks, Offsetting Sedentary Work, Exercise Snacks, and a Vlog!
