Before we get into it, please be sure to check out my recent interview with original Battling Ropes System creator, John Brookfield! I was surprised at more than a few of his answers - and am that much more psyched to attend the upcoming Battling Ropes Instructor Certification workshop! OK! So, once again I revisited a favorite Dan John article to read up on a particular … [Read more...] about Cruise Control Kettlebell Swing Workout Inspired by Dan John

Two Quick Weekday Workouts for Kettlebells and More!
This past week was crazy busy, but now that I've got a little bit of time, there's two quick workouts to share! One was indoors, the other outdoors, but both were fun in their own way and combined strength elements with a little bit of HIIT too. I've continued to enjoy using the fan bike for 8 all out sets of 20 seconds on, 10 seconds rest at the end of workouts. More about … [Read more...] about Two Quick Weekday Workouts for Kettlebells and More!
Kettlebell Double Trouble Combo Two Ways
Once again, I wrote a workout for an intermediate client, then felt the need to write a version of it specific to my own needs. I'll present both of them to you here. I can't get over how much fun it is to train outside with kettlebells and rocks.* While I ended up doing my version of the workout indoors (it's been getting dark so early... and it's easy to lose the kettlebells … [Read more...] about Kettlebell Double Trouble Combo Two Ways
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
100 Little Things Kettlebell OODA Loop Workout, Neuro-Grip Challenge is in Paperback!
First off, this is going to be brief. It's one of those weeks. And with the PCC in NYC coming up this weekend I've got quite a lot of stuff to finish up before heading up there. But I've been sitting on this OODA loop workout for too long, and want to share at least the basics of it with you.

Descending Ladder Kettlebell and Sandbag Burpees Workout With How-To Video
Originally I wrote a version of this sandbag and kettlebell workout for one of my very fit clients. Halfway through her session, I realized I was envious and would be doing a version of it myself that very evening! Descending ladder workouts are a lot of fun AND they let you get in a ton of high quality, strict form reps. When I write a descending ladder workout for someone, … [Read more...] about Descending Ladder Kettlebell and Sandbag Burpees Workout With How-To Video
An Under 25 Minute Stacking Kettlebell Workout! Intermediate Level
There's always a few interesting moments in a stacking workout - the first is usually a false sense of security, or the quickly fleeting thought that you might have chosen a kettlebell that's a little too light. Cherish these moments, because a few minutes (or for some, seconds) that same kettlebell may feel mysteriously waaay heavier. Because I wanted to go straight though, … [Read more...] about An Under 25 Minute Stacking Kettlebell Workout! Intermediate Level

Workout Wednesday: Workout Videos, Two Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workouts & Skill Training For Active Rest
Even with all the rain lately, I've managed to write (and do) quite a few really fun outdoor workouts While working out in a gym or indoors (the living room here is pretty much a gym at this point) is nice, especially in the summer, working outdoors is always a special treat, even in the 90-something degree NC summer. It cracks me up though, since moving here how … [Read more...] about Workout Wednesday: Workout Videos, Two Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workouts & Skill Training For Active Rest
Finding Even More Value with the Bottom-Up Kettlebell Get-Up (and a Workout)
This past Thursday the class focused on strikes. Now, it may come as a surprise to some of you, but I am not in the habit of going around and hitting people. It was an interesting psychological block to work though, which I am now thinking is very important. If I need to hit someone, I have a lot less qualms now. Granted, I have made it 40 years without having … [Read more...] about Finding Even More Value with the Bottom-Up Kettlebell Get-Up (and a Workout)
