I've enjoyed variations of this little combo for a couple of years, it's always a lot of fun and can even feel a little bit like a game. Most recently a friend and I did the workout for 10 rounds followed by a more focused strength workout. If you have a group, you can even perform this as an interesting relay race. No matter how many rounds you choose, be sure to record the … [Read more...] about Competitive Circuit Workout for Monkey Bars, Bodyweight Exercise, and Sprints

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
Intermediate to Advanced Kettlebell Circuit Workout From Favorite Moves!
After a last minute sudden location change (rain poured down from NOWHERE a full 2 minutes before small group), we carried on with the full workout you see here -- I'll also write it out in case the little graphic is too difficult to read for any reason. Also, clicking on the image will make it full size... which is huge.

Pushmi-Pullyu Workout for Kettlebells and Bodyweight Exercises
This wasn't just an excuse to make a silly graphic, I promise. Forgot to share this one from a recent advanced fun session -- we did this one with fairly heavy kettlebells, but never compromising form. We started with a Primal Move warm up then went through the Trifecta from Paul Wade (good stuff -- bridge, l-sit, twist). Did a quick 20 swings with a moderate sized … [Read more...] about Pushmi-Pullyu Workout for Kettlebells and Bodyweight Exercises

Ab-Focused Kettlebell Workout – Home Edition and an Unusual Shake Recipe: Bloodthirsty Goji Dragon!
I've had a lot of requests for home workouts from various clients, friends, and kettlebell small group participants for when either I'm out of town, or they're on vacation, or when schedules just don't work. The following is a simple favorite that doesn't take much "brain power" but will remind you just how much kettlebell swings involve the abs when done correctly. A … [Read more...] about Ab-Focused Kettlebell Workout – Home Edition and an Unusual Shake Recipe: Bloodthirsty Goji Dragon!
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
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
