Sometimes it's a very good thing to keep it simple, and often with kettlebells and bodyweight you'll notice that there's a great power in keeping things simple. The same is overwhelmingly true as described by Marty Gallagher in his most recent post on barbell training over at the IronBible.DragonDoor.com blog. And while I don't personally do a whole heck of a lot of barbell … [Read more...] about Simple Workout With Classic Kettlebell Moves

Sunday Night Practice Variation on Program Minimum Plus
It's Sunday night and I have spent a good part of this weekend doing (other people's) website work, reading, fielding an unbelievable number of text messages on a variety of subjects, chasing down FedEx, and honestly reviewing a WHOLE LOT of Beyond Organic goodies. Add to that feeling insanely jealous of my friends attending the Marketing Mastermind Intensive out in San … [Read more...] about Sunday Night Practice Variation on Program Minimum Plus
A mish-mash workout with a good friend
A good friend of mine, and fellow kettlebell enthusiast joined me today for a lunchtime workout. She has taken a new job which requires a LOT of heavy lifting (of people) in a medical setting - and had missed some heavy kettlebell lifting, as well as some intense cardio. Here's what we did: Short-style "Das Kettle" 1 Get Up each side 10 2 hand swings 1 … [Read more...] about A mish-mash workout with a good friend
Substitute taught a friend’s fitness bootcamp classes last night – and here’s their kettlebell workout!
While my super awesome fellow personal trainer friend Alicia Streger was out of town yesterday, I had the opportunity to lead her 6PM fitness bootcamp and her 7PM kettlebell bootcamp. WHAT A CHALLENGE! :) I love challenges though. Problem was, traffic and closed roads fought me all the way there and by the time I had arrived (with maybe 2-3 minutes to spare) I was staring down … [Read more...] about Substitute taught a friend’s fitness bootcamp classes last night – and here’s their kettlebell workout!
A Workout with an Old Friend… The Kettlebell Walking See-Saw Press
Since the past few small group workouts have been pitched towards a PCC direction (working with the progressions on many of the main moves), it was time to bring out an old but challenging friend... The kettlebell walking see-saw press. This often humbling drill is a good way to get some extra mileage off of a pair of lighter kettlebells which moght have been collecting dust. … [Read more...] about A Workout with an Old Friend… The Kettlebell Walking See-Saw Press
The Slightly OCD Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
As mentioned a few days ago, my entire collection of kettlebells except for 3 particularly large ones "left the building" for the recent Orlando HKC. On Sunday they came back and were hastily stowed in the storage area, and while this was kind of annoying, I had already started coming up with a fun idea on how to reorganize them that would involve the small group class. We … [Read more...] about The Slightly OCD Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
A Workout Adjusted for Chaos – and More Praise for Code Name Indestructible

A Small Group Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout, Plus Q+A with Forest Vance on Kettlebell Challenge Workouts 2.0
With the threat of nasty weather once again, we opted to have class at the cool East Coast Martial Arts Supply dojo. This was a simple but interesting workout which I've adapted for online listing (removed a new ab drill that I need to make an explanatory video for before listing it here - or need to discover what in the world it might actually be called?!) We started with … [Read more...] about A Small Group Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout, Plus Q+A with Forest Vance on Kettlebell Challenge Workouts 2.0
The Medieval Mini D.O.E. Workout… aka Track Day v5.0 for Kettlebell, Mace, and Running Track
A couple times of the year, an advanced client or two and I will decide to see where we're at in terms of cardiovascular performance. "Performance" is judged on perceived level of exertion, whether or how much we need to walk at off, how fast we recover, how long we can go non-stop, how long it takes total time (when we even think to time it), etc. Not terribly scientific … [Read more...] about The Medieval Mini D.O.E.
