It's summertime and many people will take the opportunity to travel - but there's no reason that means we have to stop working out! While some folks will opt to travel with equipment, as much as I love kettlebells (like A LOT), I'm loath to be "that person" lugging a massive kettlebell through the airport and causing problems. The good news is, with some smart planning and a … [Read more...] about Three No-Equipment Bodyweight Only Travel Workouts for When You’re On the Road!

Revisiting a 300 Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout…
Around 2011 or so, these "300" workouts were very very popular. It started off because everyone and their uncle's pet cat was wanting to get in on the whole "this is what those shredded actors in that 300 movie did" craze. Oddly enough, some of us found that writing a workout to include 300 meaningful reps was actually not such a bad idea after all... especially for a full-body … [Read more...] about Revisiting a 300 Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout…
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!
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?

Workout Wednesday: Workout Videos, Two Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workouts & Skill Training For Active Rest
Even with all the rain lately, I've managed to write (and do) quite a few really fun outdoor workouts While working out in a gym or indoors (the living room here is pretty much a gym at this point) is nice, especially in the summer, working outdoors is always a special treat, even in the 90-something degree NC summer. It cracks me up though, since moving here how … [Read more...] about Workout Wednesday: Workout Videos, Two Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workouts & Skill Training For Active Rest
Down the Ladder Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
Ladders, ascending, descending make for great workout structures. I like to use a descending ladder when going a little on the heavy side, so that each rep is super high quality every round. The following ladder workout is a little different since each round is has some unchanging "bookends". Each round begins with 20 kettlebell swings, and each round ends with one handstand … [Read more...] about Down the Ladder Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
The “Garage Band” Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
Long ago, when I was a teenager, kids would get together with various musical instruments, take over the family garage or basement and (usually) make a terrible racket. Sometimes decent bands would form this way, or decent enough bands. Though much like the style of exercise many of us do, the value was in the practice, and there might ultimately be no great competition or … [Read more...] about The “Garage Band” Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout

Makerspace Coworking, Office Snacks, Offsetting Sedentary Work, Exercise Snacks, and a Vlog!
As many of you may have already gathered, even though I do train individual clients, help prospective RKCs, RKC-IIs, PCCs to prepare for workshops, lead a kettlebell and bodyweight focused small group class, teach occasional out of town classes/workshops, and when asked ALWAYS am happy to help teach a PCC workshop, training others is not the main thing I do "as a job". I kinda … [Read more...] about Makerspace Coworking, Office Snacks, Offsetting Sedentary Work, Exercise Snacks, and a Vlog!
