There's been a little less travel here recently, which is not a bad thing! Granted, I did still manage to get in a couple of hotel-based workouts when I was in Michigan learning more about Fanuc robots and robot programming. Thankfully at that particular hotel they had an almost totally unused stairwell with just perfect I-beam grips so you know I had to take advantage of … [Read more...] about Two Weeks of Weeknight Kettlebell Workout Challenges

Weird Weekend Challenge Workout
The schedule has been over the top lately, but that's no excuse. So, I've made a few changes to my routine. If I've gotten enough rest (which has become a bigger priority), I'd do at least one, and sometimes two *nearly* all-out sessions. Since I was in Detroit early this week (where we somehow managed to walk between 6-7 miles each day), I had to make sure this workout was a … [Read more...] about Weird Weekend Challenge Workout
The Half and Half Challenge Workout (Outdoor Edition)
You can probably tell by the lack of regular updates on here that my schedule has been pretty full so far with 2023. The good news is I've been continuing to work out and record those workouts to use here (along with some new recipes). Some of them are just not ready for prime time yet - I like to test and polish things up before posting them here for you. The Power Hour Half … [Read more...] about The Half and Half Challenge Workout (Outdoor Edition)

45th Birthday Workout – Groundhog Day Edition
The funny thing about birthday workouts is that the older you get, the wilder the rep ranges get... though in all cases, birthday workouts are an exercise in creativity - how can you use a set of numbers in a way that makes sense in a workout for your current level. This workout is fairly advanced, so if you try it, please modify it to make sense for you and your training … [Read more...] about 45th Birthday Workout – Groundhog Day Edition
Advanced Mash-Up Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
This past Sunday, we had unseasonably warm weather - in the 60s, and I'd found a really fun place to do this sort of workout. On the weekends, a local middle school has an open to the public running track and a whole lot of pullup bars and various other old school outdoor apparatus. The bars are even adult-height (for adults who are not short like me). As a bonus they even had … [Read more...] about Advanced Mash-Up Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
A Higher Volume Workout Challenge
Crank It UP! This past Wednesday, we decided to tackle a somewhat advanced challenge, and upped the volume a little bit. The workout below is fairly advanced (especially if you adjust the weights to your current level). It's a smorgasbord of favorite methods, and putting them all together like this is a little bit crazy - however with care, good form and good judgement it was … [Read more...] about A Higher Volume Workout Challenge
How and Why to Use EMOM Workouts
The Mid-Week EMOM Workout Challenge Over the past few months, a friend and I have been doing very challenging EMOM workouts every Wednesday afternoon - it's been a great way to get a lot of productive lifting done in a short period of time. And because we've both been under a fair amount of stress, this also lets us workout but also give our brains a bit of a rest -- instead … [Read more...] about How and Why to Use EMOM Workouts
Kettlebell and Sandbag EMOM Workout with Video, Plus Weighing the Lifting Stones!
All my lady fit-pro friends seem to have photos where they're laughing about a mystery thing. Here's mine... actually, since it's a video frame grab, you can be pretty sure I'm laughing at myself. I've been scrubbing through old footage finding things that need to be edited so I can share them and ran across this little EMOM workout explanation I'd meant to put with an … [Read more...] about Kettlebell and Sandbag EMOM Workout with Video, Plus Weighing the Lifting Stones!
