So, I have to finish up some other projects today first, but know that a really fun partner kind of video montage thing is on the way. I grabbed Aleks Salkin who you may recognise from some previous articles for some fun "anywhere" workouts during a break at the Marketing Mastermind Intensive (MMI from here on out) this past weekend. The video should be cool, but in the … [Read more...] about Hanging around with Aleks Salkin – and an interesting workout
Outdoor Workout
Simple Kettlebell, Bodyweight, and Sprint Ladder
I helped out at a friend's boot camp this past week, and was further inspired by her workout (reverse ladder of drills punctuated with a short run to different exercise stations) to create one of my own. Also brought in an idea from one of RKC Dr. Michael Hartle's football conditioning workouts, the basic formula: kettlebell drill, sprint, walk back (active rest). Before … [Read more...] about Simple Kettlebell, Bodyweight, and Sprint Ladder
Hanging Around – Pull Up Variations and anywhere workouts
Like to think that a video which starts out with fashion head nods to both Bruce Lee and Cliff Harski* bodes well. Let's see if you feel the same way? Here's a little of the fun that happened on the way out and back from a coffee run. This is also similar to what happens when I got to pick up a custom made chocolate order... who said walking errands had to be boring? … [Read more...] about Hanging Around – Pull Up Variations and anywhere workouts
Double Kettlebell Fun Time – Hotel Parking Lot Edition
I got dragged out of town for a family event this weekend and well, had some frustration to work out about it - especially since it meant missing a fun time open house at Crossfit Firebase (complete with Paleo food demos and samples), as well as a very cool car show too (10th Anniversary of Concours). But it is what it is, so I put myself up in a nice hotel and met up with … [Read more...] about Double Kettlebell Fun Time – Hotel Parking Lot Edition
Heavy Stuff…. A Workout with Laurel Blackburn RKC Level 2 at Tallahassee Kettlebells
Good friend and fellow RKC Level 2 Instructor, Laurel Blackburn and I had a whole lot of fun this past weekend at her gym. She'd had a HUGE week - when she donated a training session to the Tallahassee Police TAC team - they showed up and apparently so did the press, and the local news, and and... it sounded like if someone had showed up with a food truck, Tallahassee … [Read more...] about Heavy Stuff….

Somewhat Advanced Park Workout – Bodyweight and Kettlebell
Do you remember the feeling you'd have as a kid after a good hard playtime at a park? After climbing on things, chasing your friends, swinging on the swings, trying stunts on the balance beam, etc? I experienced it again yesterday - and demolished the last half of a bottle of Amasai and a large bowl of crockpot borscht because of it. Inspired by the Dragon Door … [Read more...] about Somewhat Advanced Park Workout – Bodyweight and Kettlebell
Meatloaf, Beyond Organic Ground Beef Quick Tip, A Combo Kettlebell Workout :)
Couple things - I hope you all had a great weekend, and if or of you do or do not observe Super Bowl Sunday, that large "holiday" we have here in the states, I hope you made your weekend a healthy and happy one. I posted a link to a very simple bunless cheeseburger sliders recipe in hopes that I could help out. Last night brought meatloaf inspiration in the form of a … [Read more...] about Meatloaf, Beyond Organic Ground Beef Quick Tip, A Combo Kettlebell Workout :)
Kinda insane workout… for January 1, 2011
It started out as some kind of "oo I want to do this and this and this and this and this" workout and turned into something that reminded me of the title of this classic comedy sketch from Kids in the Hall... "I Darn Near Puked". But I didn't... so its all good, right? I was inspired by the 10,000 Swing Challenge which Lisa Shaffer started today and decided to punctuate the … [Read more...] about Kinda insane workout… for January 1, 2011
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
Practicing the RKC 6 – A Kettlebell Workout
Pretty sure I got this complex or a version of it from Tim Shuman and/or Geoff Neupert (who is really good at that whole complex thing), although after talking to some friends it's actually really really close to Jon Engum's Deep Six workout Anyhow, one of my clients did a doubles (not the snatches) version this week as well. Its a good way to practice all six of the … [Read more...] about Practicing the RKC 6 – A Kettlebell Workout
