There's all sorts of discussion flying around the internet about hydration, dehydration, etc. etc. personally having lived in Florida for a very long time I have always got a beverage of some sort at hand - or a bottle of filtered water. According to Mavea, the company that makes my favorite water filters, I run through as much drinking water as a "normal" family of 4. … [Read more...] about Some Thoughts on Beverages and an Interesting Workout Combo

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

Kettlebell Workout: As Above, So Below
Until now, only a few people know that some of my better small group workouts begin as ideas scrawled on the back of coffee shop receipts in a post-espresso maniacal blur. Most of these ideas are legible only to other people who have terrible handwriting like me, and when I go back to review and refine them, it's not without some degree of amusement. By the look of my … [Read more...] about Kettlebell Workout: As Above, So Below

Kettlebell and Bodyweight Circuit Workout – Descent into Madness (Descending Ladder)
Here's a fun one from the kettlebell small group yesterday. We reinforced the "kettlebell wagon" to make it more heavy duty - while it's rated for 700lbs, the manufacturers seem to have thought we'd only use it for bags of mulch, not heavy iron kettlebells... a precision cut piece of plywood did the trick, so look for more heavy swing/deadlift workouts in the near … [Read more...] about Kettlebell and Bodyweight Circuit Workout – Descent into Madness (Descending Ladder)
