Given that the rain had blown into the "hardest core gym in 32789*" aka my large covered parking spot, we moved class to the unused corner of the courtyard, bringing along an assortment of relatively light kettlebells for guys and gals (I'd suggest multiples of 8kg, 12kg, 16kg, 20kg), and taking advantage of the nearby concrete benches. We had a few people join us who have … [Read more...] about A Triplet of Circuits for Kettlebell and Bodyweight

Practicing the RKC 6 – A Kettlebell Workout
Pretty sure I got this complex or a version of it from Tim Shuman and/or Geoff Neupert (who is really good at that whole complex thing), although after talking to some friends it's actually really really close to Jon Engum's Deep Six workout Anyhow, one of my clients did a doubles (not the snatches) version this week as well. Its a good way to practice all six of the … [Read more...] about Practicing the RKC 6 – A Kettlebell Workout
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
Outdoor Workout – Repurpose Your Local Fit Trail!
I'm technically "between programs" right now as I figure out the next strategy other than the usual general physical maintanence, get stronger, etc. That plus having too much fun with the Convict Conditioning progressions (got past my mental barrier with the walking down the wall bridges, and of course am now totally addicted to doing them), and being introduced to MovNat a … [Read more...] about Outdoor Workout – Repurpose Your Local Fit Trail!
Zac Zech and the HKC Fort Collins Experience
Many people have asked about the HKC, and one of my clients is planning on getting her HKC soon. While I know a lot of people who participated in the program, I haven't, and I feel like I've really missed out. Since I can't fill in the details of what you may experience if you attend an HKC workshop, newly certified HKC, Zac Zech was kind enough to write an account of his very … [Read more...] about Zac Zech and the HKC Fort Collins Experience
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
Pitch Black: A Workout for Kettlebell and Friends
My small group class and I are not pleased with the time change - it makes our 6PM class take place in some darker circumstances and while I have some really neat, environmentally conscious and at the same time very useful lighting on the way, it hasn't yet arrived. We did find a much better lit area in the mean time, but I wanted to boost morale a bit and of course that … [Read more...] about Pitch Black: A Workout for Kettlebell and Friends
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
