The Scorcher: a Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
For whatever reason it seemed like we all had a bit of extra energy to burn off this week, so I planned a real fun one. Part challenge, part skills, part mobility, with a little extra dose of extreme cardio (it is if the kettlebell swings are heavy enough). I am super proud to report that my little band of kettlebell buddies are so advanced at this point that everyone who … [Read more...] about The Scorcher: a Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
Pushmi-Pullyu Workout for Kettlebells and Bodyweight Exercises
This wasn't just an excuse to make a silly graphic, I promise. Forgot to share this one from a recent advanced fun session -- we did this one with fairly heavy kettlebells, but never compromising form. We started with a Primal Move warm up then went through the Trifecta from Paul Wade (good stuff -- bridge, l-sit, twist). Did a quick 20 swings with a moderate sized … [Read more...] about Pushmi-Pullyu Workout for Kettlebells and Bodyweight Exercises
A Sunday Funday Workout Outdoors with Kettlebells, Ultimate Sandbags, and a NEW? Ab exercise (with Video)
After doing a whole lot of computer-based work this past weekend, on it was time to catch up with a little Sunday Funday type workout. It was going to be fairly advanced, but that's not a bad thing... After a Primal Move warmup we got right into it by setting a timer for 5 minutes and grabbing the appropriate kettlebell for the RKC kettlebell snatch test-- 100 snatches in … [Read more...] about A Sunday Funday Workout Outdoors with Kettlebells, Ultimate Sandbags, and a NEW?

Kettlebell Circuit Workout – Kinda Oldschool Style
This past Thursday we revisted a new version of an older workout on this site. In the course of assessing what needs to be upgraded on here (don't worry this is only going to ADD to the experience, not subtract from it), I've been having fun looking at a lot of the older content, seeing what needs to be updated etc. Also, after finding out that over 1/3 of you read or visit … [Read more...] about Kettlebell Circuit Workout – Kinda Oldschool Style
The “Check In” Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout… and an Introduction to Hylete!
It was time for a benchmark workout yet again. Small group had been working very hard over the past few weeks. We've been working out indoors in airconditioned comfort these days and the concern was raised that maybe we were losing our edge. I am proud to say that we most certainly aren't. But now we know that the extreme sweat earned is actually earned... not from the … [Read more...] about The “Check In” Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout… and an Introduction to Hylete!
The Great Outdoors… A Stacking Workout Circuit
Should issue a warning to my friends/workout partners and small group whenever I start reading about things like SEALFIT or am in the early chapters of Lone Survivor and learning all about what those guys go through in Indoc and BUD/S etc. It warps my own sensibility in terms of "difficulty" when I push myself through a challenge. Now, there's this terrible little voice in … [Read more...] about The Great Outdoors… A Stacking Workout Circuit
Bizarre But Useful Kettlebell Workout: The Puppy and the Beast v2.0
Tested this one with an advanced friend... it's actually the 2nd version and I like it the best so far. We had a couple of odd social type interruptions but overall it went very well (and it got rid of my headache). Also, I have now seen in public doing swings with both the smallest kettlebell and the largest kettlebell that Dragon Door makes... hence the name of the … [Read more...] about Bizarre But Useful Kettlebell Workout: The Puppy and the Beast v2.0
DVRT with Josh Henkin, Website Direction, a Little Challenge…
It's been a whirl-wind lately... After learning more about Josh Henkin's DVRT system and Ultimate Sandbag during a recent photoshoot (Josh's DVRT book will be published by Dragon Door in April) I was intrigued to say the very least. So this past weekend I braved the cold of NYC to attend the DVRT level 1 and 2 workshops right in the heart of Manhattan. What a great … [Read more...] about DVRT with Josh Henkin, Website Direction, a Little Challenge…
A Carousel Workout – for Kettlebell and Bodyweight exercises
More affectionately nicknamed the "Carousel of Carnage" by our "knack for nicknames" guy at kettlebell small group, this circuit of stations presented some interesting challenges in the un-relenting Florida heat yesterday evening. In addition to bringing some ideas from various other related projects to the mix, I also brought the grip balls from StrongerGrip.com to further … [Read more...] about A Carousel Workout – for Kettlebell and Bodyweight exercises
