Ok, since it's my birthday, today is going to be a little silly - I had a TON of fun "helping" make these spicy dark chocolate dragons at Peterbrooke Chocolatier in Winter Park - and here's the video all about it! And go ahead and check out last year's more "serious" birthday article - proud to say that I appear to have stopped aging... er whatever... I don't know, but … [Read more...] about Something Silly – and Delicious!

Barbell Deadlift – Color Theory – Random Advice Time Warning
This is kind of a strange article - won't deny that... also going to warn you, we're approaching my birthday, which always makes me get "a little weird" (I know what you're thinking... ). This is mainly because I get reflective in terms of "what have I learned this past year?", "have I kept my promises, goals etc?" Those of you who know me in "real life" know there have been … [Read more...] about Barbell Deadlift – Color Theory – Random Advice Time Warning
VERY Proud of new HKC Katie, Thoughts on Haywire, Chinese New Year and MORE!
One of my first kettlebell clients really got into it in a big big big way - she started training with me at the very beginning and it feels like a million years ago. I remember meeting her in a park and teaching her how to do a swing for the first time. We also went through the get up and then we just had a little time to do 1 arm swings. We continued to train and swap … [Read more...] about VERY Proud of new HKC Katie, Thoughts on Haywire, Chinese New Year and MORE!
CK-FMS, FMS, MMA, Beyond Organic, Chia Seeds, a Simple Difficult Workout and MORE!
Today got off to a GREAT start when I met some friends at The Jungle MMA and Fitness here in Orlando. Seth Petruzelli, the gym owner and a pro MMA fighter and his friend, local top personal trainer JT agreed to try out the FMS (Functional Movement Screen) after I sent them a few articles about how the screen is being used by NFL teams, and pro athletes of all varieties. The … [Read more...] about CK-FMS, FMS, MMA, Beyond Organic, Chia Seeds, a Simple Difficult Workout and MORE!
As Promised! The “Heavy Stuff” Kettlebell workout recap video!
Here's the video that goes with the previous blog post. Yes, we are so into this stuff that it's what we do on the weekends, this was on Sunday afternoon and we were having a blast :) So yes, be careful, or I'll come to town and dye your Mom's hair pink and draw kettlebells on her cast! (To be fair, she asked me to help with both of those). AND … [Read more...] about As Promised! The “Heavy Stuff” Kettlebell workout recap video!
Elegance and Efficiency
I may have a slightly different definition of "elegance" than most - and its origin is oddly enough, Computer Science! In CS, sometimes we talk about elegant code, or an elegant system. And this is essentially something like a large task accomplished with as few keystrokes, or as few lines of code or even characters as possible. One of my favorite college computer science … [Read more...] about Elegance and Efficiency
Practice and Variation Kettlebells and Bodyweight Workout
I'm going to do another one of those park workouts tomorrow - so I wanted to make sure what I did today wouldn't interfere with tomorrow's holiday calorie-destroying-strength-building extravaganza. On facebook, a friend of mine posted some kind of crazy 4 minute push up challenge from a UFC fighter and his buddy, and while what he was doing didn't QUITE fit the bill for … [Read more...] about Practice and Variation Kettlebells and Bodyweight Workout

September 16th…. National Guacamole Day! 2 Recipes and a video!
I am a guacamole fiend. Don't even try to share a bowl of it with me at a restaurant, go ahead and order your own - before things get.... awkward. Can't help it, and I'll apologize profusely, but I won't stop. Then a friend on twitter posted that today was National Guacamole Day today - so I knew that SOMETHING would have to happen to commemorate this oh so important day. … [Read more...] about September 16th….
