Here's another quick weekday after work workout with a little bit of everything - strength, mobility, a little intrinsic heart rate elevation. Choose the right kettlebells for you. On this particular day I had access to a pair of 16kg kettlebells which went well with this sequence while keeping the breaks short. Adjust to your abilities and what you have available! (And swap in … [Read more...] about Quick Full Body Kettlebell and Calisthenics Workout

A New Spin on an I-Go You-Go Kettlebell Workout Challenge!
It happens to the best of us, but recently, my workout partner and I realized that we'd kind of gotten into a rut. Both of us had been managing a particularly high level of stress, so we weren't going to be hard on ourselves about it. In the bigger picture the fact that we'd kept going was the important part, but it was time to mix things up and revisit some of our favorite … [Read more...] about A New Spin on an I-Go You-Go Kettlebell Workout Challenge!
Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout With Poker Chips: The House Always Wins IV
Why Workout with Poker Chips? It's difficult to describe exactly why it's fun to do a "poker chip workout" except that there's a level of satisfaction from stacking them, plopping them back in the box with a click when a set is completed. Of course it's also nice to be able to keep track in such a concrete and physical way, without the need to try and write things down in the … [Read more...] about Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout With Poker Chips: The House Always Wins IV
A Doubly Gnarly Kettlebell Workout!

Kettlebell Workout: Crushing the Week
In the advanced kettlebell workouts I lead each week, we have the joke that we crush the workout so that the week doesn't crush us. This obviously isn't the answer for everyone, but for certain... "type-A personalities", knowing that we have a very concrete list of to-dos we can knock out in an hour that will also make us stronger - physically, mentally, etc. is a welcome … [Read more...] about Kettlebell Workout: Crushing the Week
Backyard Challenge Crusher: Kettlebell, Pull-Ups, Mobility, Calisthenics Workout
It's "been a week" and while my immediate area was spared the real wrath of hurricane Michael (well tropical storm by the time it reached us up here), clients and friends in the did lose power for a bit from downed trees and high winds. In fact, those of you who follow me on Instagram may have seen the "story" photo I posted from a business meeting that continued in the dark, … [Read more...] about Backyard Challenge Crusher: Kettlebell, Pull-Ups, Mobility, Calisthenics Workout
High Intensity Circuit…
There's not a lot of truth in the phrase "Circle of Vom" as it seemed to have the opposite effect on my workout partner... she showed up wobbly from a super stressful week but afterwards was feeling better than ever. I hope this workout has the same effect on you if you try it! Warm up with Joint Mobility 3x Rounds: 1/1 Get-ups, at the top, do three … [Read more...] about High Intensity Circuit…
The House Always Wins III: Another Poker Chips Kettlebell Workout
It's been a busy week, and I knew the same was true for my intermediate/advanced client who showed up today to train. Given past discussions I knew that she would enjoy a tough workout that would require a little less thinking... and we both appreciate the simplicity of a "poker chips workout". There's something satisfying about plunking the chips back into the box as you … [Read more...] about The House Always Wins III: Another Poker Chips Kettlebell Workout
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
