There's not a lot of truth in the phrase "Circle of Vom" as it seemed to have the opposite effect on my workout partner... she showed up wobbly from a super stressful week but afterwards was feeling better than ever. I hope this workout has the same effect on you if you try it! Warm up with Joint Mobility 3x Rounds: 1/1 Get-ups, at the top, do three … [Read more...] about High Intensity Circuit…

Backyard Brawl: Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
The people who train with me tend to be extremely motivated. This is good, I am encouraging of course, but I'm not a cheerleader. We don't hand out trophies here all willy-nilly. Once in a while I'll have a local client who will either show up with a high level of athleticism and/or really take to the training in a big way--then we keep training, but I offer a free "work out … [Read more...] about Backyard Brawl: Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
Easter Egg Hunt Kettlebell Workout
It might look cute but... it's not for beginners! Each time an egg is found, check the chart and put in some reps. Feel free to swap the burpees for another power move like a few tire flips, a sled push, etc. Be sure you don't hide too many eggs... We plan to hide 4 per color so that the totals come to 40 burpees, 20 per side kettlebell presses, 60 kettlebell swings … [Read more...] about Easter Egg Hunt Kettlebell Workout
The Strange Friends Kettlebell Workout and Details on the Dragon Door Sale Page Kettlebells
A while back, I nicknamed a mis-matched kettlebell carry "Strange Friends". Not only are the two kettlebells used different sizes, they're also carried in different ways. It's a physical and mental challenge to say the least. I first tried it after doing a kettlebell windmill with a lighter kettlebell on top and a heavier kettlebell below. After picking both up I thought, "Huh, … [Read more...] about The Strange Friends Kettlebell Workout and Details on the Dragon Door Sale Page Kettlebells
Another Challenging Element to Try with Neuro-Grips, and Two Workouts
Until today, it hadn't occured to me that I'd always used the same grip with my Neuro-Grips... even at the Neuro-Grip Challenge book photoshoot... It's always been with the stem of the grip between my middle finger and ring finger. (Upper left in the photo below.) The only reason I figured that out today was that I'd "buddy taped" my left ring finger to my left middle … [Read more...] about Another Challenging Element to Try with Neuro-Grips, and Two Workouts
Short On Time But Craving Power: The Joy of 10-Round Simple Workouts
This week I created two different "10 round" workouts for two different people--at two different levels and who have different sets of challenges. Then of course after seeing how well they both did, and while remembering how much fun I have with these types of things, I had to do one too! 10 round workouts are a funny thing, and I like them a lot. Completing them results in … [Read more...] about Short On Time But Craving Power: The Joy of 10-Round Simple Workouts
Backyard Challenge! Using Everything in a Sequence
Earlier today I was training someone with kettlebells and had also brought out a very cool pair of custom made paralettes from Ryan Pitts of Stronger Grip. They are excellent for l-sits as well as slightly raised push-ups (we even sometimes do push up walks up and down the two of them). Later I set up the slackline, then decided to get out the throwing knives and throwing … [Read more...] about Backyard Challenge! Using Everything in a Sequence

One of the things I … [Read more...] about Doing 500 Kettlebell Swings & the Red Delta Project Podcast
Tempo Changes, Throwing Stars, Strength, Skills, Systema
Flashing back to that time when I was out at Master RKC Phil Ross's gym and martial arts studio in Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ. He had graciously invited me to participate in coaching/demonstrating with the kettlebell and bodyweight class that was scheduled for the afternoon. Though I was no stranger to Phil's TOUGH workouts (seriously...) I didn't know what he had in store for the end of … [Read more...] about Tempo Changes, Throwing Stars, Strength, Skills, Systema
