I'm always scouting around for cool locations for videos etc. to keep things interesting. This past weekend I hit a small jackpot! I found a new extremely bright mural near what used to be Forbidden City (and according to someone working on the property, it's soon to be another location of the beloved local fusion restaurant, Tako Cheena. So, pretty much good news for … [Read more...] about New kettlebells on the way, the last few hours of a mega-sale, and a simple workout idea

A Short But Fun Underground Strength Inspired Exercise Break… After an Adventure!
It's been an interesting weekend... getting a lot done, maybe a little too much because as the sun started to go down today I found myself wanting to go outside and play for lack of a better term. Some may refer to this as a "workout" but considering what I did and how fun it was I think it was more like a slightly more grown up version of playing in the yard. Unfortunately, … [Read more...] about A Short But Fun Underground Strength Inspired Exercise Break… After an Adventure!

Monkey Bar Monday – Rope Climbing in Providence, RI and A Scaled At Home Version!
As you may have gathered I shot a fair amount of video while in Providence, Rhode Island recently. The weather was ideal (slightly cool and overcast outside) not only for running around but acting as a natural light diffusor for pretty good video!!! When we arrived at Brown Street Park, I had that whole feeling you get as a kid when you see the playground and you can't seem … [Read more...] about Monkey Bar Monday – Rope Climbing in Providence, RI and A Scaled At Home Version!

The Power of Simple At-Home Workouts… Example: Sandbag and Pull Up Bar
Impatient people can click here to skip to the workout and video A pattern I've seen for years (and have also personally experienced) is that the more advanced you get, the less you really need. While there's always a seemingly human-nature-fueled thirst for gadgets and gizmos, and while new stuff can be motivating and a lot of fun (and I certainly have a first class … [Read more...] about The Power of Simple At-Home Workouts… Example: Sandbag and Pull Up Bar
Happy Monkey Bar Monday — with Monkey Bar Alternative! [VIDEO]
Hope you had a great 4th of July weekend! I've been meaning to make more #MonkeyBarMonday videos, and when I drove by the park between errands realized that some people seem to have today off, so there were actually quite a few kids and families on the monkey bars. It was more than enough of an excuse to avoid any 5-year-olds and their "Mommy, why's that lady on our monkey … [Read more...] about Happy Monkey Bar Monday — with Monkey Bar Alternative! [VIDEO]
Descent Into Strength: A Quick Intermediate Level Bodyweight and Kettlebell Workout
This is a workout I do (there are several variations) when there's not a lot of time, but I want to get a reasonable amount of strength work/practice done along with some conditioning as well. It's cobbled together from the ideas of several sources, and is easily adjustible to whereever you are. I'm so fond of it and its variations that it is scrawled on a small piece of … [Read more...] about Descent Into Strength: A Quick Intermediate Level Bodyweight and Kettlebell Workout
A Challenging Workout For A Time Of Less Thinking
There's a lot more to write and a lot more adventures to share, but I wanted to put this little workout here to tide you over. It's an appropriate interlude since it was designed to help out on a day when I figured that at least one member of the kettlebell small group (including myself) would be experiencing or approaching "decision fatigue". It's just that kind of week, so … [Read more...] about A Challenging Workout For A Time Of Less Thinking
The Key to the Kettlebell Swing: The Hip Hinge
No matter how much we talk about the hip hinge, revisiting it is always time well spent. In fact it's a good idea to revisit the hip hinge whenever your kettlebell swing just isn't... feeling right or if you're wondering why a weird little 5'3" 125-130lb almost-middle-aged woman with a questionable hairdo is able to swing a 106lb kettlebell. The kettlebell swing is a simple … [Read more...] about The Key to the Kettlebell Swing: The Hip Hinge
