Madness indeed - being in NC means that March Madness is the tune of the moment. But, this workout has a madness all its own. The first few rounds give you a challenge but as is my style of workout design, it also may inspire a false sense of security. While the battle rope throw reps go down... the burpees come up. Or burps if you've overdone it hydration wise at this point … [Read more...] about Madness Descends – A Circuit Workout for Kettlebell and Battling Rope

A Doubly Gnarly Kettlebell Workout!
This weird workout is a great excuse to get out quite a few matched pairs of kettlebells - it's also a great one to try with a workout partner (especially if they have the extra kettlebells you might need). Pool your resources and mix up the challenge! By the way, 18kg kettlebells are back in stock at Dragon Door, and there are a few opportunities in the main circuit where you … [Read more...] about A Doubly Gnarly Kettlebell Workout!

The funny thing about birthday workouts is that the older you get, the wilder the rep ranges get... though in all cases, birthday workouts are an exercise in creativity - how can you use a set of numbers in a way that makes sense in a workout for your current level. This workout is fairly advanced, so if you try it, please modify it to make sense for you and your training … [Read more...] about 45th Birthday Workout – Groundhog Day Edition
Revisiting The Descender Workout for Kettlebells and Bodyweight
One of the greatest things about posting more and revitalizing this blog (did you know it's been around since 2009) is having new eyes on it. These new eyes find older posts (and often typos, which I do appreciate, btw) and bring them back up for discussion. This happened last week as a new Instagram follower found an older post which had a workout embedded in it -- one that … [Read more...] about Revisiting The Descender Workout for Kettlebells and Bodyweight

Very Simple Grain Free Granola
Some of you already know that I've been conducting a wild amount of yogurt-making experiments lately. And while I love just eating plain yogurt (yes, I know this isn't normal) I was thinking about crunchy topping options. Unfortunately as much as I love a lot of the commercially available grain free granolas, many of them have too much sugar/carbs for my liking. And these very … [Read more...] about Very Simple Grain Free Granola
Advanced Mash-Up Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
This past Sunday, we had unseasonably warm weather - in the 60s, and I'd found a really fun place to do this sort of workout. On the weekends, a local middle school has an open to the public running track and a whole lot of pullup bars and various other old school outdoor apparatus. The bars are even adult-height (for adults who are not short like me). As a bonus they even had … [Read more...] about Advanced Mash-Up Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
