It's funny - every time I hint about a "conspiracy theory," many of you perk up, some of you text, some email, some even call! If I'm ever feeling lonely, I really know what to do. HA. I don't have a case of the lonelies today, but I did want to get your attention and tell you some of my theories and why they are so insidious. And also how YOU can be smart and beat... THEM. … [Read more...] about Fitness Conspiracy Theories and How To Fight Back!

Variety Circuit for Kettlebell and Bodyweight
On Monday we did a little bit of a "fitness test" just to set a benchmark - since the small group members are getting stronger - I can't wait to see how they do the next time around. BUT since I'm not around to call you out for bad reps, I've modified what we did on Monday for a self directed timed circuit. Full of variety - speaking of variety, we dragged out ALL the … [Read more...] about Variety Circuit for Kettlebell and Bodyweight

The Hold It! Workout for Kettlebell and Bodyweight – 2 versions
This is a personal workout, fitting with some goals I'm working on - so it may not be your cup of tea, or something that you should do very often. It's a mixing it up sort of thing. A TUESDAY sort of thing... First is the "advanced" version that I did - and be honest if you're not ready, don't do it - it's not worth it. The 2nd version is a beginner's version - if … [Read more...] about The Hold It! Workout for Kettlebell and Bodyweight – 2 versions
A Triplet of Circuits for Kettlebell and Bodyweight
Given that the rain had blown into the "hardest core gym in 32789*" aka my large covered parking spot, we moved class to the unused corner of the courtyard, bringing along an assortment of relatively light kettlebells for guys and gals (I'd suggest multiples of 8kg, 12kg, 16kg, 20kg), and taking advantage of the nearby concrete benches. We had a few people join us who have … [Read more...] about A Triplet of Circuits for Kettlebell and Bodyweight
Fun in the Park: An easily adaptable individual or group workout for kettlebells and bodyweight
We had access to a different area today for my beginner's class - and took full advantage of it. I had actually written this particular workout for them several weeks ago - but wanted to post it AFTER they got the chance to try it out first (and because some of them read this website, and I didn't want to spoil the surprise). We started out with our joint mobility … [Read more...] about Fun in the Park: An easily adaptable individual or group workout for kettlebells and bodyweight

Wednesday’s Wicked Circuits – Kettlebell and Optional TRX Workout
Another drizzly day yesterday, similar to the one which inspired the Hanging Gardens of Babylon Workout some weeks ago. Which the participants really seemed to enjoy - one even requested "more workouts like that one!" For whatever reason, my group seems to like circuit workouts that require them to move through a few different "stations" We bring out a large assortment of … [Read more...] about Wednesday’s Wicked Circuits – Kettlebell and Optional TRX Workout
