Here's a version of a fun one we did this week in small group - it's been modified to be a little more general - we worked on some specific stuff in the actual class related to the progress of those in attendence. ANYWAY - since if you train with me, it means you'll learn to loooooooooooooove kettlebell cleans. Or, maybe will give up on hating them. More yabbering about why … [Read more...] about Hold It Right There, Practice and Circuits – a Kettlebell Workout

Visiting Fitcamp – a Workout for Cold (Florida) weather!
Much fun was had last night at Tim Shuman, RKCII's 6pm kettlebell Fitcamp... first off, it was cold (which is probably laughable to people up North, but I am personally optimized for extreme heat, if it gets below 60 degrees I need a jacket), which to me was 50 Degrees F or below. And girl genius here had ran out the door without socks on. Fortunately I got there early and ran … [Read more...] about Visiting Fitcamp – a Workout for Cold (Florida) weather!
Ladder and Quartet: a Kettlebell Workout
After hearing reports from friends, and seeing what was up with their FOOD JOURNALS, I was inspired to make a particularly... "interesting" workout for the small group. Emphasing yet again the basics, and practicing a few new things which are very important auxillary exercises. First, we begin with a joint mobility warm up largely derived from Pavel's DVD, Super Joints. … [Read more...] about Ladder and Quartet: a Kettlebell Workout
Ivan’s Debut – a Kettlebell Workout and goofy story to start off your week!
If you don't know what you're doing - PLEASE don't try this at home - seek out a local RKC or HKC instructor and learn the techniques correctly. Youtube and TV are not good, safe sources of information. Certain popular tv personalities have taught some fairly horrendous form to the masses over the past few years and I just really hope people aren't getting hurt. You don't … [Read more...] about Ivan’s Debut – a Kettlebell Workout and goofy story to start off your week!
Meatloaf, Beyond Organic Ground Beef Quick Tip, A Combo Kettlebell Workout :)
Couple things - I hope you all had a great weekend, and if or of you do or do not observe Super Bowl Sunday, that large "holiday" we have here in the states, I hope you made your weekend a healthy and happy one. I posted a link to a very simple bunless cheeseburger sliders recipe in hopes that I could help out. Last night brought meatloaf inspiration in the form of a … [Read more...] about Meatloaf, Beyond Organic Ground Beef Quick Tip, A Combo Kettlebell Workout :)
The Kettlebell Goddess Workout DVD
Andrea Du Cane's Kettlebell Goddess Workout DVD Going to be honest with you, this is one of my favorite workout DVDs in the whole wide world. Its so good that if I find out that one of my clients already owns it, I give them "homework assignments" from it for when they or I am out of town. The Power Breathing section is fantastic - the instructional portions are … [Read more...] about The Kettlebell Goddess Workout DVD
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
Another Practice Workout – Kettlebell Snatch and Bodyweight Focus
I am personally experimenting with a few things this week in terms of (personal) programming - and this particular workout was all about reinforcing the change I've made with gripping the kettlebell during the snatch. So its all about "taming the arc" and knowing when, where to time gripping the kettlebell. At no time did I want to be even slightly fatigued in the hands, … [Read more...] about Another Practice Workout – Kettlebell Snatch and Bodyweight Focus
Simple Snatching Practice Kettlebell Workout
The small group learned and/or reviewed the RKC Kettlebell Snatch - so I wanted to create a workout that would allow for plenty of practice - both for the new members of the group as well as the more experienced. We also wanted to get in some time with the Battling Ropes for variety. Beginners use light kettlebells for the snatching portions of the workout - the main point … [Read more...] about Simple Snatching Practice Kettlebell Workout
Playing with the Basics Kettlebell Workout
While the weather is still nice, take your favorite moderate sized kettlebell outside for this odd little basics combo. Some of it is designed to remind one of my classes in particular to hinge at the hips putting those rears way back during swings. And well, everyone can always stand to review the basics - besides - in RKC style kettlebell training, our basics are … [Read more...] about Playing with the Basics Kettlebell Workout
