For the first time in what feels like FOREVER, the weather was not completely disgusting over the weekend. I was able to walk a 2 blocks without automatically breaking out in a sweat... So, while we still can, it's always fun to workout outside at a favorite park that has a fit trail. We decided to bring our stuff near the parallel dip bars (these are very long) and set up … [Read more...] about More Inspiration From Zach Even-Esh and a Workout Too!

My Not-So-Secret Secret Workout Protocol…
Not always a big fan of crowds, so when my neighborhood gets overrun with partiers I usually end up hunkering down and getting a lot of work done. The cost of this is at some point I need to really jump around and burn off some extra energy. Since I’ve been developing recipes I wanted to work up a good appetite to try them too. This past week I had the opportunity to teach a … [Read more...] about My Not-So-Secret Secret Workout Protocol…
A Sunday Funday Workout Outdoors with Kettlebells, Ultimate Sandbags, and a NEW? Ab exercise (with Video)
After doing a whole lot of computer-based work this past weekend, on it was time to catch up with a little Sunday Funday type workout.

The Doorbuster: An MMA Timing Inspired Workout for Kettlebell, Bodyweight, and Optional Ultimate Sandbag
While I was working on Mike Medrano's interview for Dragon Door last week, the idea of creating a conditioning workout based on the timing of an MMA fight was just too intriguing not to try. So, on Black Friday in total rebellion of the usual activities most folks were doing, we headed out to the park with a workout I jokingly named "the Doorbuster." Get Ups feature … [Read more...] about The Doorbuster: An MMA Timing Inspired Workout for Kettlebell, Bodyweight, and Optional Ultimate Sandbag
Monster Monday Kettlebell Workout – with Optional Sandbag
Monday's small group class was really inspired by the fact I brought them some "presents" from my visit to Tallahassee's Laurel Blackburn, RKC Level 2 AND Dragon Door distributor for the Southeast USA. Read about the first day of that visit: Girya Girl visits Tallahassee Kettlebell Day 1 Anyway, true to form I brought a few things back for them - a 28kg, 14kg, and a "women's" … [Read more...] about Monster Monday Kettlebell Workout – with Optional Sandbag
Leg Attack! Workout with Kettlebell and Sandbag
Lots of fun in the car port of pain today - keeping out of the rain and getting a whole lot of work done... Choose a moderate to heavy kettlebell (everyone had several to choose from, and made weight adjustments as necessary during the workout), and if possible, at least a 20lb sandbag. We used the nice little handmade ones I have - they're triple stitched and made to be … [Read more...] about Leg Attack! Workout with Kettlebell and Sandbag
The Thundergod Workout – for Kettlebells and Optional Sandbag
This is a fun one - earlier it was storming outside and that inspired me to write up a workout for the small group that would keep us off of the potentially wet ground - and well - to keep the kettlebells low (remind me to tell you a story about this time I was practicing kettlebell snatches and the timing of a far off clap of thunder...) Anyhow, back to our … [Read more...] about The Thundergod Workout – for Kettlebells and Optional Sandbag
