Somewhat against my better judgement, I've joined a gym. The weather is getting hot, "summer is coming" (no, I don't care about preparing to strut around on the beach, I just really hate hot weather). And the mosquitos are likely waiting for the earliest possible moment to start coverings me in welts. So, this year I am planning ahead with alternative workout locations that … [Read more...] about Half and Half Part Two: A Kettlebell and Calisthenics Double Circuit Challenge

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”
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!

Tempo Changes, Throwing Stars, Strength, Skills, Systema
Flashing back to that time when I was out at Master RKC Phil Ross's gym and martial arts studio in Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ. He had graciously invited me to participate in coaching/demonstrating with the kettlebell and bodyweight class that was scheduled for the afternoon. Though I was no stranger to Phil's TOUGH workouts (seriously...) I didn't know what he had in store for the end of … [Read more...] about Tempo Changes, Throwing Stars, Strength, Skills, Systema
Quick Kettlebell Workout, How to Assemble the Dragon Door Bodyweight Master Pull Up Bar, and More Exercise Ideas
Realized that I should probably space out the podcasts for you! There's two more episodes on the way soon, but in the mean time, I wanted to share a short workout (or what could be the meat and potatoes part of a session) I did last night. I had limited time because of a bunch of computer related tasks and more importantly a friend was coming over to walk her puppies … [Read more...] about Quick Kettlebell Workout, How to Assemble the Dragon Door Bodyweight Master Pull Up Bar, and More Exercise Ideas
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!
The Wanderer… Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
It's no secret that I'm nuts about the Convict Conditioning series of books and DVDs from Dragon Door - and of course totally hooked on kettlebell training too. Here's an example of a fairly (you can adjust the difficulty to meet your own needs) advanced workout that involves a great deal of variety. The real fun is derived from it's variability - it can adapt to whatever … [Read more...] about The Wanderer… Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
