3 Tips for Swinging HEAVY Kettlebells From Someone Light
So, you think you have a pretty decent "handle" on the kettlebell swing, or if not, don't go heavy yet. However, when we THINK we have a good grasp of the swing with our usual kettlebell, grabbing a heavier one can make it feel like a whole new challenge. OR... more likely it just decides to show you everything you might be doing wrong. While I don't mind swinging with light or … [Read more...] about 3 Tips for Swinging HEAVY Kettlebells From Someone Light
My First Time Leading a Certification Workshop – Primal Move Winter Park Florida
Its no secret that I'm nuts about Primal Move. Ever since being introduced to it in Seattle, I've enjoyed adding it to my small group's sessions, and exploring the movements at home. They've had a great effect on my own practice and have added infinite value to my CK-FMS knowledge. And while I was a little nervous to teach the first ever Primal Move Certification Workshop here … [Read more...] about My First Time Leading a Certification Workshop – Primal Move Winter Park Florida

I Go, You Go, We All Go Kettlebell Swing Crazy: A Partner Workout
This was a whole lot of fun. I did this workout with a friend who had been out of the "swing of things" (haha) for a couple weeks. As you'll notice there are a few swing variations that sometimes we use to help "correct" the kettlebell swing form. In the case of this particular workout, they were chosen mainly for fun, but also to remind my friend about a few particulars. … [Read more...] about I Go, You Go, We All Go Kettlebell Swing Crazy: A Partner Workout
Beyond Organic Promo Sliders – AKA Two Bite Burgers
As you probably already know, my Beyond Organic Founder's Pack arrived this past weekend and I had entirely too much fun unpacking it on video. Also depicted on the video was putting 2lbs of the green fed ground beef in the freezer and one in the refrigerator. Overnight the package of ground beef in the fridge thawed nicely right in time for lunch. Its perfectly square … [Read more...] about Beyond Organic Promo Sliders – AKA Two Bite Burgers
Now We Get to Act Like A Bunch of ANIMALS… a kettlebell and bodyweight workout!
So much inspiration and creativity stemming from the recent visit to NYC, Nimble Fitness, Equinox, and of course Al Kavadlo's Saturday Morning class. This particular workout's "warm up" was directly influenced by the warmup from Al's class I attended. Lacking access to Thompson Square Park, I came up with a simple circuit punctuated with our favorite 2 hand kettlebell swings … [Read more...] about Now We Get to Act Like A Bunch of ANIMALS… a kettlebell and bodyweight workout!
A Get Back Into The Groove Adjustable 300 Kettlebell Workout
Promise, this is not just another excuse to use that incredibly silly graphic - but I just couldn't help myself. This particular "300" variation was made for client who was coming back after being out with the flu for about a week and a half - so he stuck with *relatively* light kettlebells for these exercises - going heavier with the deadlifts, because after my visit with … [Read more...] about A Get Back Into The Groove Adjustable 300 Kettlebell Workout
