My internet nerd friends get the reference there "all the things". Named that because well, there's mobility, calisthenics (pull-ups), kettlebells, and sandbag. Once again, Monday was being Monday and full of all kinds of interesting business related challenges. Still... I wasn't about to skip a workout because of that. After seeing a really fun Facebook Live video of some … [Read more...] about Busy Day Workout for All Of The Things!

The “Garage Band” Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
Long ago, when I was a teenager, kids would get together with various musical instruments, take over the family garage or basement and (usually) make a terrible racket. Sometimes decent bands would form this way, or decent enough bands. Though much like the style of exercise many of us do, the value was in the practice, and there might ultimately be no great competition or … [Read more...] about The “Garage Band” Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
I was a guest on the Red Delta Project Podcast, Plus a Bodyweight Only Workout, and a Video
A few days ago I had the honor of being the first ever guest on PCC Team Leader, Matt Shifferle's Red Delta Project Podcast. Once again, as when he was recently the guest on MY podcast, we had a ton of fun discussing some of our favorite topics, calisthenics, the PCC, great food, training strategies and more. At the risk of bragging, it seems like we get around to some … [Read more...] about I was a guest on the Red Delta Project Podcast, Plus a Bodyweight Only Workout, and a Video
Super Scaleable Three-Move EMOM (Every Minute on the Minute) Workout for Home or Anywhere
Those of you following along on Instagram today you may have noticed at the end of one of the videos I kind of... attack a bowl of pepperment bark at Williams-Sonoma while on an otherwise innocent errand to pick up a box of Mavea water filters. Long story short, I might have had a little bit of a sugar rush when I came home, but I also wanted to get some reps in, and some small … [Read more...] about Super Scaleable Three-Move EMOM (Every Minute on the Minute) Workout for Home or Anywhere
Monkey Bar Monday – Rope Climbing in Providence, RI and A Scaled At Home Version!
As you may have gathered I shot a fair amount of video while in Providence, Rhode Island recently. The weather was ideal (slightly cool and overcast outside) not only for running around but acting as a natural light diffusor for pretty good video!!! When we arrived at Brown Street Park, I had that whole feeling you get as a kid when you see the playground and you can't seem … [Read more...] about Monkey Bar Monday – Rope Climbing in Providence, RI and A Scaled At Home Version!
Special Edition Monkey Bar Monday – With Extra Monkey
This particular Monkey Bar Monday is especially special for a few reasons. The most obvious one will be (and those of you who stalk me on social media already know about this) that I'm in a different city at the moment! I've spent the past few days having a much needed mastermind (business, life, etc) with a good friend and fellow RKC, Amber Lee (Twitter: Geekpixie) in … [Read more...] about Special Edition Monkey Bar Monday – With Extra Monkey
The Power of Simple At-Home Workouts… Example: Sandbag and Pull Up Bar
Impatient people can click here to skip to the workout and video A pattern I've seen for years (and have also personally experienced) is that the more advanced you get, the less you really need. While there's always a seemingly human-nature-fueled thirst for gadgets and gizmos, and while new stuff can be motivating and a lot of fun (and I certainly have a first class … [Read more...] about The Power of Simple At-Home Workouts… Example: Sandbag and Pull Up Bar
A Challenging Workout For A Time Of Less Thinking
There's a lot more to write and a lot more adventures to share, but I wanted to put this little workout here to tide you over. It's an appropriate interlude since it was designed to help out on a day when I figured that at least one member of the kettlebell small group (including myself) would be experiencing or approaching "decision fatigue". It's just that kind of week, so … [Read more...] about A Challenging Workout For A Time Of Less Thinking
The Great 38, A Birthday Workout Challenge!
Even though I'd made a "38 birthday workout" for a client a few years ago, and considered just recycling it for myself, I decided NOPE!! I need my own, and something goofily specific to what I like to do. So yes, there are pull ups involved. DEAD HANG pull ups of course... which can always been substituted out with Aussie pull ups or the fun variation I brought for my training … [Read more...] about The Great 38, A Birthday Workout Challenge!
Everything with Nothing, A Bodyweight Only Workout For Anytime, Anywhere
Coming back from the Encinitas, California PCC workshop last week meant flying out of the San Diego airport on a red eye flight from SAN to ATL to back home. And while I was thankfully upgraded on the flight from SAN to ATL, that was still just maybe 2 hours of precious sleep before hitting the ground in Atlanta and hopefully wandering into the correct terminal. Those of you … [Read more...] about Everything with Nothing, A Bodyweight Only Workout For Anytime, Anywhere
