It might look cute but... it's not for beginners! Each time an egg is found, check the chart and put in some reps. Feel free to swap the burpees for another power move like a few tire flips, a sled push, etc. Be sure you don't hide too many eggs... We plan to hide 4 per color so that the totals come to 40 burpees, 20 per side kettlebell presses, 60 kettlebell swings … [Read more...] about Easter Egg Hunt Kettlebell Workout

The Strange Friends Kettlebell Workout and Details on the Dragon Door Sale Page Kettlebells
A while back, I nicknamed a mis-matched kettlebell carry "Strange Friends". Not only are the two kettlebells used different sizes, they're also carried in different ways. It's a physical and mental challenge to say the least. I first tried it after doing a kettlebell windmill with a lighter kettlebell on top and a heavier kettlebell below. After picking both up I thought, "Huh, … [Read more...] about The Strange Friends Kettlebell Workout and Details on the Dragon Door Sale Page Kettlebells

Revisiting a Kettlebell and Bodyweight workout: Intermediate-Advanced level AND what’s inside a Skulpt AIM!
It happened again - I wrote a workout for an advanced/intermediate-advanced client then really really wanted to do a version of it myself. Upped the weights here and there, but kept the rep ranges pretty much the same. Slight modification to work around the old school Pavel pull-up program I dusted off for the season (more about that in a few more weeks time when I will have … [Read more...] about Revisiting a Kettlebell and Bodyweight workout: Intermediate-Advanced level AND what’s inside a Skulpt AIM!
Strength Pyramid: A Simple Kettlebell and Calisthenics Combination
Couldn't resist using this neat photo of the pyramid at the Louvre. Having recently become 41, I remember seeing this interesting structure during its construction (I was VERY young, maybe 7 or 8 at the time). The massive excavation was fascinating, and I would only see the completion of it many years later in the late 90s. "Oh, so that's how it turned out!" The sense of scale … [Read more...] about Strength Pyramid: A Simple Kettlebell and Calisthenics Combination
Stuck Indoors? Here’s a Bodyweight Only Coordination, Strength and Cardio Workout!
As much as I hate to admit it, when the weather outside gets below freezing, I'm much less likely to work out outside. Then, one of my clients emailed asking for an indoor alternative to her regular outdoor activities. This workout is one that I created for a small Upper West Side Manhattan gym where I led classes for a week pretty much for the heck of it. (I wanted to get out … [Read more...] about Stuck Indoors?

Cruise Control Kettlebell Swing Workout Inspired by Dan John
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
