Poking around the Beyond Organic website yesterday, and placing the rest of my order I discovered that they have UPDATED the Amasai variety pack to include the new flavors. (Mom's Mother's Day gift was the first part of this month's order - and you should be very very envious of what she received.) Those of you who have tried Amasai know of it's incredible nutritional impact, … [Read more...] about Forgive me, I couldn’t resist…. Talk of Amasai, Park Workouts, Al Kavadlo and more!

After the movie 300 came out there was a lot of buzz in various magazines, blogs etc. about the 300 Workout which the cast of the movie was purported to have used to get in marvelous shape. Rumors formed, theories abounded blah blah blah. At the end of it, a lot of people were inspired to make up their own workout of 300 reps... and today I came up with one myself. … [Read more...] about A 300 workout…

Gift Guide for the Kettlebell Enthusiast in Your Life
It's notoriously difficult and probably annoying to shop for someone like me. If I really really want something, that means I may have already purchased it, or its so exorbitantly expensive that I'd never even think to ask anyone for it. Ever. Pair that with the fact that for over a year I've been systematically getting rid of anything extraneous*, am excessively … [Read more...] about Gift Guide for the Kettlebell Enthusiast in Your Life

It was one of those "what am I missing" kind of days - I had been doing GTG* pull ups and tension exercises at random between household and computer tasks, but... it wasn't enough, I was getting antsy so I opted to just head out to the field next to my building with a pair of 16kg kettlebells and "see what happened" Here's what happened - feel free to follow along … [Read more...] about Double Trouble III – Let Me Give You a Complex – Kettlebell Workout

Stack Attack!
Here's another variation on a kettlebell stacking workout - though there are a few different drills for variety, I also chose these particular exercises to not overwork my kettlebell group on some exercises we had really hammered the previous session. A more traditional approach can be seen here: another stacked timed sets workout Stacking workouts are great ways to really … [Read more...] about Stack Attack!
