NYC PCC, New Battling Ropes Certification, Neuro-Grip Challenge Paperback, Pistol Squats and “Wushu” Pistol Squats

November 12, 2017 By Adrienne Harvey Leave a Comment

NYC PCC instructors: Danny Kavadlo, Adrienne Harvey, Julie Briggs, Al Kavaldo

First off, there's way too much for one blog post (there's such a backlog over here that it's not even funny). The NYC PCC was last weekend at Crunch gym's flagship location in the middle of Manhattan (and next to part of the NY Marathon, too!) As always it's a huge honor to teach alongside the Kavaldo bros, Al and Danny at a PCC. And this time, we were also assisted by … [Read more...] about NYC PCC, New Battling Ropes Certification, Neuro-Grip Challenge Paperback, Pistol Squats and “Wushu” Pistol Squats

The 6PM Shred Kettlebell, Bodyweight and Battling Rope Workout

May 9, 2015 By Adrienne Harvey Leave a Comment

On a lark I decided to try the 21 Day Kettlebell Swing Challenge from Josh Hillis - I needed some variety and direction with the conditioning portion of my personal workouts - and thought it looked like a whole lot of fun. I'll be varying the program a little to make room for my favorite bodyweight practice items that happen throughout the day, but should be staying true enough … [Read more...] about The 6PM Shred Kettlebell, Bodyweight and Battling Rope Workout

A Workout Heavily Inspired by Zach Even-Esh’s The Encyclopedia of Underground Strength and Conditioning

September 10, 2014 By Adrienne Harvey Leave a Comment

Zach And GiryaGirl

At the last minute, I ended up having a coffee break with a friend today and toted along Zach Even-Esh's brand new Encyclopedia of Underground Strength and Conditioning.  She's also an aficionado of incredibly challenging workouts and in addition to being a member of our kettlebell small group, is almost always up for a "Hey, I have this crazy workout to test, want to try it?" … [Read more...] about A Workout Heavily Inspired by Zach Even-Esh’s The Encyclopedia of Underground Strength and Conditioning

The Scorcher: a Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout

August 21, 2014 By Adrienne Harvey Leave a Comment

KB Pose GiryaGirl

For whatever reason it seemed like we all had a bit of extra energy to burn off this week, so I planned a real fun one.  Part challenge, part skills, part mobility, with a little extra dose of extreme cardio (it is if the kettlebell swings are heavy enough).  I am super proud to report that my little band of kettlebell buddies are so advanced at this point that everyone who … [Read more...] about The Scorcher: a Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout

Advanced Partner Workout – It’s Also Scaleable!

July 23, 2014 By Adrienne Harvey Leave a Comment

Pull Up GiryaGirl

Admittedly, this advanced partner workout borders on just a little bit silly, but it is also a whole heck of a lot of fun.  It works well for people who are fairly close in athletic abilities, but it is super easy to adapt it for very advanced or intermediate partner possibilities. Also, there's a somewhat excessive amount of cool fitness toys in this one, and that's mainly … [Read more...] about Advanced Partner Workout – It’s Also Scaleable!

Abracadabra – a Slightly Core-Focused Kettlebell and Friends Challenge!

January 23, 2013 By Adrienne Leave a Comment

abracadabra

Small group had FUN with this one tonight - it involved many of our favorite "toys": kettlebells in a variety of weights (12kg, 14kg, 16kg, 24kg), a Battling Rope, and the infamous "evil wheel" (aka the $12 of pain, ab wheel). We began with a Primal Move warm up, then 5 minutes of get-up practice (alternating sides) with a comfortable kettlebell - the focus was for form and … [Read more...] about Abracadabra – a Slightly Core-Focused Kettlebell and Friends Challenge!

Core Torture, the Insidious Kettlebell Swing Practice Workout

January 21, 2012 By Adrienne Leave a Comment

After reading a good bit of Bud Jeffries new book, I Will Be Iron (currently out on ebook format, soon to be out in paperback), I was more than just a little bit inspired.   One of the things I like about his book is the real world focus on simple but effective workouts with just a few crucial tools.   He also pairs drills very well - I'm even futher convinced that I need to … [Read more...] about Core Torture, the Insidious Kettlebell Swing Practice Workout

Simple Snatching Practice Kettlebell Workout

November 17, 2011 By Adrienne Leave a Comment

The small group learned and/or reviewed the RKC Kettlebell Snatch - so I wanted to create a workout that would allow for plenty of practice - both for the new members of the group as well as the more experienced.   We also wanted to get in some time with the Battling Ropes for variety. Beginners use light kettlebells for the snatching portions of the workout - the main point … [Read more...] about Simple Snatching Practice Kettlebell Workout
