Let's start with the workout and you can decide how much entertainment beyond that you'd like. This has been a fairly crazy week, as usual. For about a week I had misplaced the completed "little gray Moleskine notebook" that I'd been scribbing workouts to test and the results and adjustments of them. Since there's been some joking about certain people "snagging it and making … [Read more...] about A Workout, a Template, a Tetanus shot, an Introduction, and Something to Look Forward to!

The Great 38, A Birthday Workout Challenge!
Even though I'd made a "38 birthday workout" for a client a few years ago, and considered just recycling it for myself, I decided NOPE!! I need my own, and something goofily specific to what I like to do. So yes, there are pull ups involved. DEAD HANG pull ups of course... which can always been substituted out with Aussie pull ups or the fun variation I brought for my training … [Read more...] about The Great 38, A Birthday Workout Challenge!
Mayhem in the Park Workout – Kettlebells, Maces, Battling Rope, optional Hawk and Poker Chips
Last night I shared the amusing Armour39 results from the circuit described below. Once again, we invaded the field with the very soft grass, which was suprisingly resilient considering all the traffic it received from the art show last weekend. Should have taken a picture, but after unloading the following it looked like we were going to have some kind of homegrown version … [Read more...] about Mayhem in the Park Workout – Kettlebells, Maces, Battling Rope, optional Hawk and Poker Chips

The 2014 Send Off New Year’s Eve Workout…
This was a ton of fun, and plenty challenging. I designed this for one of my workout partners and I, she's recently discovered that she can press the 14kg kettlebell, so here's what we did. Taking only a single 14kg and 20kg kettlebell out to the park with the promise to "share" made things interesting (especially for me, since I ended up with the 20kg fairly often). For the … [Read more...] about The 2014 Send Off New Year’s Eve Workout…
Upstairs, Downstairs… a Workout for Kettlebells, Stairwell, and Bodyweight
This workout certainly isn't for everyone since it uses a "found staircase" I suppose a stepmill could be used for it, but part of the "fun" of the workout is self-regulating how fast you're taking the stairs, and sharing heckles with your training partner related to who has the inside or outside of the staircase.... Here in Florida we don't have many buildings with a ton of … [Read more...] about Upstairs, Downstairs… a Workout for Kettlebells, Stairwell, and Bodyweight
Let’s Heat Up the Gym! (a Kettlebell Workout)
Recently one of the most faithful attendees of our small group requested to work on stamina... Not a problem! Also, for Florida, since it dipped under 50 degrees (Fahrenheit) that meant everyone was running around freezing, or were gleefully wearing any and all of the "cold weather clothes" that they never get to wear. Seriously, you would have thought a bizzard was on … [Read more...] about Let’s Heat Up the Gym! (a Kettlebell Workout)
A Benchmark Workout for Kettlebell, Ultimate Sandbag, and Track
For whatever reason--even though much like RKC Team leader Paul Britt, I do not like running at all--I am sometimes compelled to work a lap around the track into the occasional workout. It's a funny thing, for all of my not liking to run and for a perceived "weak point" in terms of certain types of endurance, I've been told that I'm fairly fast for surprising distances. … [Read more...] about A Benchmark Workout for Kettlebell, Ultimate Sandbag, and Track
The Golden Hour, a Kettlebell Workout, and What I Ate Yesterday…
As some of you already know, I'm not a huge fan of the sun, but I do love the time near sunset that photographers refer to as the "golden hour". It is great for photos and videos for sure, but I also like the feel of that time of day, and the lack of burning feeling on my face. In fact, I'm considering a whole series of sunset-related videos for both of these reasons. To see … [Read more...] about The Golden Hour, a Kettlebell Workout, and What I Ate Yesterday…
Stress Destroyer Workout for Kettlebell and Pull Up Bar
It'd been a "Monday" for sure, and a friend of mine was definitely up for a challenge so we headed out to the park a good bit later than originally intended, but that's ok. I'm not opposed to occasionally (or somewhat often) working out somewhat late at night. Hince the silly owl graphic there on the left. This workout was heavily influenced and inspired by Zach Even-Esh's … [Read more...] about Stress Destroyer Workout for Kettlebell and Pull Up Bar
