There's a lot to catch up on, and it's embarrassing to see that nearly a whole week has gone by without an update on here. Let's fix that right now. I woke up Tuesday morning to find the post-holiday blues obliterated by a message from Triton Nutrition telling me that I had won their Extreme Athlete drawing. Getting awesome stuff delivered never gets old... and I'm really … [Read more...] about Hodge Podge of an Update
Workshop Experiences
Interviewed by Sebastian Müller, RKC from Germany – GREAT questions!
I'm incredibly honored to be interviewed by new RKC Sebastian Müller on his blog. He asks some great questions, some of which I know others have been curious about too - Here's a little bit of it - Sebastian Müller: When did you first discover kettlebells? Adrienne Harvey: I first discovered kettlebells around 2008 when I was looking online for alternatives to working … [Read more...] about Interviewed by Sebastian Müller, RKC from Germany – GREAT questions!
Short Report from RKC San Diego!
Another great RKC workshop has just come to a close in San Diego (surprisingly sunny even when it was overcast all day on Saturday*). So many old and new friends were in attendence, that it was great to catch up and hear how everyone is doing in their training and in their lives. Seriously, it was a veritable who's-who in the RKC and fitness industry... Not to mention all … [Read more...] about Short Report from RKC San Diego!
Beyond Organic Founders Conference
Just got back from the Beyond Organic Founders Conference - really feeling like quite the road warrior this month, as I will have spent over 1.5x what I pay in rent for an entire month on hotel rooms for the past week. LOL. Did spend one night at home - was there for about 12hrs - long enough to sleep, take a bath, get caught up on a few online tasks and wash a load of … [Read more...] about Beyond Organic Founders Conference
Tracy Visits an RKC Workshop: A Day in the Life of an RKC Victim—RKC Virginia May 2012
Adrienne: Tracy's back! She attended the recent Vienna, Virginia RKC Workshop on Sunday to participate in the "victims training" where RKC candidates are tested on their ability to teach/coach lucky volunteers from the general public in the basic kettlebell drills like the swing and get up. Usually there's a part where the candidates have to construct a small workout … [Read more...] about Tracy Visits an RKC Workshop: A Day in the Life of an RKC Victim—RKC Virginia May 2012
Orlando HKC Experience – My First Time Helping Out! (Part 1)
For reasons no one can remember, the recent Orlando HKC was scheduled on a Sunday. Tim Shuman, Franz Snideman, Laurel Blackburn, Ryan Blackburn, myself, and of course Chris Davis (the official host) all arrived early to make sure we were all set up and ready to go. Tim's truck was riding heavy with kettlebells (thankfully he has a custom box for such things). After getting a … [Read more...] about Orlando HKC Experience – My First Time Helping Out! (Part 1)
Orlando HKC Experience – Testing, Making People Nervous (oops), and More! (Part 3)
Finally back to the last installment of the Orlando HKC Recap! We further worked on the Get Up, with a troubleshooting section. People who felt like they had a problem somewhere with their get up volunteered to demo and have the HKC participants and instructors help them improve their form. It's fun to watch this learning process even as a helper AND it's a great time to pick … [Read more...] about Orlando HKC Experience – Testing, Making People Nervous (oops), and More! (Part 3)
Orlando HKC Experience – Helping Out, Testing, and More! (Part 2)
We came back from lunch and promptly started back in on the Get Up. I really love the get up - at first, waaaay back when (a couple years ago or more) I was first learning it, I thought it was actually very overwhelming. It seemed awkward and unnecessarily confusing, and somehow (now I have no idea how I was doing this) I'd always end up facing the opposite direction. … [Read more...] about Orlando HKC Experience – Helping Out, Testing, and More!

Checking in from the Super Human Training Workshop
There's a lot more to write, but I wanted to check in with you all a little bit - Friday night, Bud Jeffries, Logan Christopher and Noah Jeffries among other notables gave a strongman performance the likes of which Tallahassee probably hasn't ever seen. The local paper even ran several large pictures from the event on the front page of the local section - in color! We also … [Read more...] about Checking in from the Super Human Training Workshop
