Kettlebell and Calisthenics Workout
Friday the 13th LUCKY Kettlebell Workout!!!!
Lucky Friday the 13th Kettlebell Workout! This was a fun kind of challenge for our small group today - we brought out a variety of moderate to light kettlebells (12kg, 14kg, 16kg) - in case of needing to switch up or down depending on the way the workout went. Also - don't rush through this one - take breaks and make sure that proper form is maintained. This is a great … [Read more...] about Friday the 13th LUCKY Kettlebell Workout!!!!
Kettlebell Workout As Inspired by the Super Human Training Workshop
Taken from my workshop notes, and the really cool programming ideas in I Will Be Iron, this workout is surprisingly simple but as the participants in yesterday's kettlebell small group will tell you, VERY intense. For that reason, everyone was encouraged to take rests when necessary - of course - keep moving when you take rests. Always begin with joint mobility - and a few … [Read more...] about Kettlebell Workout As Inspired by the Super Human Training Workshop
Another…. 300 Workout
I couldn't resist making this silly graphic - that's my computer science / digital arts degree WORKING HARD FOR YOU! (...must not have class shove neighbor's car around the parking lot for the next '300' workout...) Start out with joint mobility of course, we did a little extra here and there because it's Monday and people seemed a little tired or stressed or something … [Read more...] about Another…. 300 Workout
Half Beginner Half Advanced – A Kettlebell Workout and Practice Session
Small group consisted of some of our most advanced people on Monday, so it was time to learn something not only new, but fairly advanced. When he came back from the Return of the Kettlebell workshop, Tim Shuman RKCII showed me the ever so nifty double kettlebell snatching technique in the book and as practiced at the workshop. We had pairs of the following kettlebells … [Read more...] about Half Beginner Half Advanced – A Kettlebell Workout and Practice Session
A Traveling Kettlebell Workout with Variety!
Typically for a Friday we had a couple people missing from class - and since I am not one to mope, I saw this as a fun opportunity to do something a little different. Around the neighborhood I've found some fun places to do things like fingertip hangs, pull ups, clutch flags, etc. and what I personally like to do sometimes is to tote a moderate to light kettlebell around for a … [Read more...] about A Traveling Kettlebell Workout with Variety!
Mindful Monday Kettlebell Swing Fine Tuning Workout
It was time to really hammer on the basics again - as the proper execution of the kettlebell swing is so crucial to getting the most benefit from it - don't let youtube or goofy things on tv tell you otherwise! We began with the usual joint mobility warm up exercises - adding in a few of the favorite pump stretches. And continued with a review of the hip hinge - we even … [Read more...] about Mindful Monday Kettlebell Swing Fine Tuning Workout
Fry the Abs on Friday – a Kettlebell and Friends Workout
I'm still working on the review of Convict Conditioning 2 that I wanted to post last night, except that I of course got sucked back into the book when I was referencing specific parts for the review and ended up just reading it all over again. Did I mention it's really good? Anyway..... in celebration of doing clutch flags in the the park yesterday, I made a fun Friday … [Read more...] about Fry the Abs on Friday – a Kettlebell and Friends Workout
Hold It Right There, Practice and Circuits – a Kettlebell Workout
Here's a version of a fun one we did this week in small group - it's been modified to be a little more general - we worked on some specific stuff in the actual class related to the progress of those in attendence. ANYWAY - since if you train with me, it means you'll learn to loooooooooooooove kettlebell cleans. Or, maybe will give up on hating them. More yabbering about why … [Read more...] about Hold It Right There, Practice and Circuits – a Kettlebell Workout
A Get Back Into The Groove Adjustable 300 Kettlebell Workout
Promise, this is not just another excuse to use that incredibly silly graphic - but I just couldn't help myself. This particular "300" variation was made for client who was coming back after being out with the flu for about a week and a half - so he stuck with *relatively* light kettlebells for these exercises - going heavier with the deadlifts, because after my visit with … [Read more...] about A Get Back Into The Groove Adjustable 300 Kettlebell Workout
