Here's another quick weekday after work workout with a little bit of everything - strength, mobility, a little intrinsic heart rate elevation. Choose the right kettlebells for you. On this particular day I had access to a pair of 16kg kettlebells which went well with this sequence while keeping the breaks short. Adjust to your abilities and what you have available! (And swap in … [Read more...] about Quick Full Body Kettlebell and Calisthenics Workout

Half and Half Part Two: A Kettlebell and Calisthenics Double Circuit Challenge
Somewhat against my better judgement, I've joined a gym. The weather is getting hot, "summer is coming" (no, I don't care about preparing to strut around on the beach, I just really hate hot weather). And the mosquitos are likely waiting for the earliest possible moment to start coverings me in welts. So, this year I am planning ahead with alternative workout locations that … [Read more...] about Half and Half Part Two: A Kettlebell and Calisthenics Double Circuit Challenge
Two Weeks of Weeknight Kettlebell Workout Challenges
There's been a little less travel here recently, which is not a bad thing! Granted, I did still manage to get in a couple of hotel-based workouts when I was in Michigan learning more about Fanuc robots and robot programming. Thankfully at that particular hotel they had an almost totally unused stairwell with just perfect I-beam grips so you know I had to take advantage of … [Read more...] about Two Weeks of Weeknight Kettlebell Workout Challenges
Workout Logic: ChatGPT and AI Kettlebell Experiments (and some workouts to do)
Even if we don't run in the same social circles, recently it's hard to go a day without hearing some mention of AI tools such as ChatGPT and their implications for any given industry, subject of study, commercial enterprise, etc. Those who know me from "real life" also know that I've harped on the fact that we must know the "why" behind certain types of decisions etc. Buzzwords … [Read more...] about Workout Logic: ChatGPT and AI Kettlebell Experiments (and some workouts to do)
The Half and Half Challenge Workout (Outdoor Edition)
You can probably tell by the lack of regular updates on here that my schedule has been pretty full so far with 2023. The good news is I've been continuing to work out and record those workouts to use here (along with some new recipes). Some of them are just not ready for prime time yet - I like to test and polish things up before posting them here for you. The Power Hour Half … [Read more...] about The Half and Half Challenge Workout (Outdoor Edition)
The 2023 New Year Kettlebell Workout Challenge!
It's time for a new new year challenge - and seeing that we're facing an odd numbered year, you know that I'll use this as an excuse for creativity. However - these are fun but challenging numbers, and I am presenting this workout as "untested" as we're trying it on New Year's Day ourselves as the weekly challenge! So as usual feel free to modify for your level and available … [Read more...] about The 2023 New Year Kettlebell Workout Challenge!
A Ramp Up Week – A 5 Day Workout Restart
For some of us who tend to be high energy, it's tough to take a break, even just a de-load week (or two). But it's also hard to come back. This time I chose a "little bit each day" approach that made sense for my level before the break. And it worked. Since I'd kind of been overdoing it before taking time off, I wanted to make sure not to come back full tilt. Before the break I … [Read more...] about A Ramp Up Week – A 5 Day Workout Restart
Above Your Weight Class – The Kettlebell Workout
Sunday is a good day to get into a serious challenge - and today happened to also be a weird dreary "fall" day in the midst of spring. It was 50 degrees, dry, and loads of cloud cover. It looked like 6PM all day - which, odd as it sounds, is about perfect for workouts in my opinion. No glaring sun, sweat is able to evaporate and perform its intended cooling function, but yet it … [Read more...] about Above Your Weight Class – The Kettlebell Workout
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!
Superb Owl LVI (56) Workout Challenge with Bonus Baked Taco Bowl Recipe!
*Clears throat* I mean... this is my Super Bowl LVI Workout Challenge. IYKYK* First of all, 56 is a great number for a theme workout - it's divisible by 4, and with a very usable quotient of 14. TOO FUN. For my friends who train with kettlebells and/or calisthenics who may have a 56th birthday coming up, please send me a message as I have so many ideas with this particular … [Read more...] about Superb Owl LVI (56) Workout Challenge with Bonus Baked Taco Bowl Recipe!
