Carrying On: a Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
The weather has finally started to get really nice in Florida, so we took the small group workout to the park today. The soft grass there is just fantastic for Primal Move, the Trifecta from Convict Conditioning Vol 2 and more. Truth be told, we've been doing an experiment and have been adding the Trifecta to our workouts for the past month. It's been so fun, and has been … [Read more...] about Carrying On: a Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout

Slacking Off on Labor Day and Musings on Conquering “Impossibility”
Happy Labor Day! Hopefully you're spending time outdoors with a grill going or some kind of related activity. It's a good excuse to get outside (weather permitting), and do something active. Yesterday and friend and I took out our slacklines and got in some practice. I've really been enjoying this challenging but oddly relaxing activity lately. It seems to fit in very well to … [Read more...] about Slacking Off on Labor Day and Musings on Conquering “Impossibility”
A Workout with an Old Friend… The Kettlebell Walking See-Saw Press
Since the past few small group workouts have been pitched towards a PCC direction (working with the progressions on many of the main moves), it was time to bring out an old but challenging friend... The kettlebell walking see-saw press. This often humbling drill is a good way to get some extra mileage off of a pair of lighter kettlebells which moght have been collecting dust. … [Read more...] about A Workout with an Old Friend… The Kettlebell Walking See-Saw Press
Two Unlikely Subjects… Kale Chips and Lunges?!?!
Don't these sound like well-behaved topics?! Don't worry, I haven't gone off the goody-two-shoe deep end! Until recently, even though I've liked kale for a long time cooked in dishes etc, and raw baby kale for salads, I hadn't had any especially good experiences with kale chips. Especially the sort I tried to make myself in the oven a while ago which smelled horrible. … [Read more...] about Two Unlikely Subjects… Kale Chips and Lunges?!?!
The Slightly OCD Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
As mentioned a few days ago, my entire collection of kettlebells except for 3 particularly large ones "left the building" for the recent Orlando HKC. On Sunday they came back and were hastily stowed in the storage area, and while this was kind of annoying, I had already started coming up with a fun idea on how to reorganize them that would involve the small group class. We … [Read more...] about The Slightly OCD Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout

Some Thoughts on Beverages and an Interesting Workout Combo
There's all sorts of discussion flying around the internet about hydration, dehydration, etc. etc. personally having lived in Florida for a very long time I have always got a beverage of some sort at hand - or a bottle of filtered water. According to Mavea, the company that makes my favorite water filters, I run through as much drinking water as a "normal" family of 4. … [Read more...] about Some Thoughts on Beverages and an Interesting Workout Combo
