Strange times call for strange graphics. This is a very "simple" kettlebell workout which can be made harder or easier... If necessary, this workout can be scaled down (or up). Hopefully you all have been staying healthy and in good spirits. Though we've been finding that by the end of the week, especially after a number of video calls, zoom meetings, etc. there's a certain … [Read more...] about 400 Kettlebell Swings Workout

A Little Bit of Everything Kettlebell Workout
Safe to say, it's "been a week" for most of us. And while I have very little to complain about in the day to day, managing mental fatigue, staying upbeat, etc. is a but more challenging than before. In response, the workouts I've been doing (and leading) have become simpler. One thing that initially attracted me to kettlebell training was this powerful simplicity. I love the … [Read more...] about A Little Bit of Everything Kettlebell Workout
Mixed Bag: A Kettlebell Workout With A Little Bit Of (Almost) Everything
Normally on Sundays, we'd meet up in a local park and knock out an advanced crazy challenge workout... but this whole virus situation has kind of put that on pause. While people are allowed to walk on the trails and such, technically the parks are "closed" and everyone has been discouraged from doing anything that remains stationary for any period of time. For instance as I … [Read more...] about Mixed Bag: A Kettlebell Workout With A Little Bit Of (Almost) Everything
600 Kettlebell Swings Workout AKA “The Bajillion Swings Workout”
It's a little less crazy than it sounds - or maybe we're more crazy?! But, before you hit "back" on your browser because you feel like I've finally lost it, let me explain that there's a very specific strategy at play in this workout. Something I've known for a while is that if you're going to do a lot of grip work (kettlebell swings or snatches, pullups, bodyweight rows, … [Read more...] about 600 Kettlebell Swings Workout AKA “The Bajillion Swings Workout”
An RKC-6 Review Plus Mini-Endurance Workout
This is a riff on an old favorite I mentioned the other day on social media. Here's a link to the post that was originally shared back in 2011 (when this site was just a little over a year old and running on Drupal 6). With the RKC San Jose coming up next week, it was a great time to revisit this with a fellow advanced kettlebell maniac - as she hadn't yet experienced the … [Read more...] about An RKC-6 Review Plus Mini-Endurance Workout
Pre-RKC Benchmark Workout…
There's a lot I can write about my original journey to the RKC that started in 2009, and there's a detailed day by day account of that first RKC Workshop on this site. That first experience was transformative on too many levels to fully explain here, but those of you who know me, know a majority of the story. Every now and then people try and challenge the existence of part of … [Read more...] about Pre-RKC Benchmark Workout…
An 18-Minute Follow Along Timed Sets Workout Video
Since this past summer I've been exactly half of leading a custom corporate wellness program, and since every class seems to have new people of all levels, I've relied heavily on our old favorite pal, the timed set. Timed sets are fantastic for mixed levels since everyone starts and finishes at the same time, no one waits on anyone--and the potential for feeling out of place or … [Read more...] about An 18-Minute Follow Along Timed Sets Workout Video
We Carry On, Because We Are Compelled To…
Accidentally I stepped in (not a typo) a bit of a controversy Saturday night on Facebook. Someone was questioning the validity of loaded carries, farmer carries etc. in the training of "regular people" who were seeking general health or physique goals. I posted the following without realizing that there were literally over 100 previous posts varying in mood from supportive, … [Read more...] about We Carry On, Because We Are Compelled To…
Advanced Kettlebell Challenge Workout For 1/12/2020
Hinted at this one a little last week - then after a few more conversations with folks realized that I likely need to have another post really giving the ways that this kind of workout can be useful especially for those who are preparing to pass the RKC Snatch test. It solves just one piece of the puzzle but there are several important pieces that must be in place to … [Read more...] about Advanced Kettlebell Challenge Workout For 1/12/2020
A Benchmark Workout to Finish 2019 Strong – Fan Bike Encouraged But Not Required
The workout here is for general intermediate/advanced fitness enthusiasts and is adapted from two workouts I recently created for two different advanced clients. Both of them have many differences, but the main thing they share is their drive for excellence and strength. I am honored to train both of them, and it's a joy to plan their next steps towards achieving their … [Read more...] about A Benchmark Workout to Finish 2019 Strong – Fan Bike Encouraged But Not Required
