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
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!
A Fast and “Foxy” EMOM Workout for Kettlebells and Bodyweight
In the course of working on a top secret special video project (hinted at the other day on social media) I've recently reintroduced the sumo squat back into my regular workout rotation. For fun, I decided to add it into this little 12 minute EMOM workout - I basically did it as a break, as there is more workout to come this evening with some skill and more max strength work. … [Read more...] about A Fast and “Foxy” EMOM Workout for Kettlebells and Bodyweight
Heavy Kettlebells + Fajitas… A Workout and Simple Cast Iron Skillet Fajitas Recipe
Must admit, I'm really enjoying the lower humidity and slightly cooler weather here at my new place... and even though I was very active before, being able to just go outside and work out with very little fanfare (or audience) has inspired me to do even more. I felt like going pretty heavy with things last night, and ended up surprising myself a little. Given that I kept … [Read more...] about Heavy Kettlebells + Fajitas… A Workout and Simple Cast Iron Skillet Fajitas Recipe
How to Workout with Kettlebells and Do Laundry at the Same Time
The following situation has the potential to cause the following: a fast, challenging workout and a clean load of laundry (I'd recommend putting at least one towel in there so you have a warm fluffy towel for a post workout shower). I really hate chores, but I like to workout... and both need to be done regularly... here's an example of how both can get done at the same … [Read more...] about How to Workout with Kettlebells and Do Laundry at the Same Time
Quick Workout for Hectic Times, Kettlebells, and Battling Rope!
I'm still working on editing a fun video for you with an especially interesting circuit (there's some highly functional but silly looking parts to it, thanks to my general appearance, some kids at the park gawked at what I was doing, but were unsure if it was "safe" to openly mock me. Thanks, hairdo!) Anyway that is still in the works. Look for it this weekend, so you can try … [Read more...] about Quick Workout for Hectic Times, Kettlebells, and Battling Rope!
Bonus Podcast! 2016 Kickoff Experiement – “Questions From Google” Kettlebells, Bodies, Bums, and Challenges
Bonus Podcast!!!!! Kicking off 2016 with a little retrospective of questions, phrases, and search strings that people have typed into Google... and then ended up on my site. Some are super important, some are silly (and yet still important at the same time). I had fun with this one. Going to be hitting the road again very soon, and decided that it was as good of an excuse … [Read more...] about Bonus Podcast! 2016 Kickoff Experiement – “Questions From Google” Kettlebells, Bodies, Bums, and Challenges
New kettlebells on the way, the last few hours of a mega-sale, and a simple workout idea
I'm always scouting around for cool locations for videos etc. to keep things interesting. This past weekend I hit a small jackpot! I found a new extremely bright mural near what used to be Forbidden City (and according to someone working on the property, it's soon to be another location of the beloved local fusion restaurant, Tako Cheena. So, pretty much good news for … [Read more...] about New kettlebells on the way, the last few hours of a mega-sale, and a simple workout idea
