Yesterday I attended the TRX STC 8-hour training course for personal trainers and other fitness professionals. It was held at ocfsgym.com, a boxing, MMA, and fitness gym here in Orlando. They had a really nice facility there complete with kettlebells, a boxing ring, fight cage, strength training machines, and a wood floor classroom. We were obviously in the classroom. … [Read more...] about TRX Training Recap!

A Count to 100 Kettlebell and TRX Workout
It's a Monday after a holiday weekend - a holiday notorious for various forms of overindulgence here in the USA... I didn't, but many people did. I did however get my sleep schedule all out of whack (which has the fortunate side effect of helping my writing/proofreading/editing abilities). A more unfortunately side effect is the endless stacks of books/papers/etc all over the … [Read more...] about A Count to 100 Kettlebell and TRX Workout
Kinda insane workout… for January 1, 2011
It started out as some kind of "oo I want to do this and this and this and this and this" workout and turned into something that reminded me of the title of this classic comedy sketch from Kids in the Hall... "I Darn Near Puked". But I didn't... so its all good, right? I was inspired by the 10,000 Swing Challenge which Lisa Shaffer started today and decided to punctuate the … [Read more...] about Kinda insane workout… for January 1, 2011
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
Fried on Friday – Kettlebell Workout with Options…
My small group was feeling very ambitious today - grabbing the largest of the kettlebells that I had brought out - luckily for them, there were smaller ones available - which they eventually switched down to - but we had some fun - and they got to enjoy the fact that I stayed up until 4AM last night pouring over the new Convict Conditioning 2 eBook - (pdf format fyi) because I … [Read more...] about Fried on Friday – Kettlebell Workout with Options…
Circuit for Kettlebell, TRX, with a bonus Tabata finisher
A little Monday fun for my small group - their skills are developing very nicely, but I wanted to test them on the press a bit - we used moderate to light(ish) kettlebells for this (for instance, one small woman who has recently come back to class used a 8kg and 12kg kettlebell - using the 12kg for the two hand swings and goblet squats. One of the guys was using a 16kg and … [Read more...] about Circuit for Kettlebell, TRX, with a bonus Tabata finisher
Ferocious Friday: Kettlebell Lower Body Focus + Mini Core Circuit
I really wanted to focus on legs a bit today with the small group - especially after making them do snatches right after clean and press practice on Wednesday - it was little mean, but it was the result of Coach Tim Shuman, RKC Level 2's new "Honey Badger Workout" (that's his deal, don't ask...) Ferocious Friday should always begin with joint mobility exercises and … [Read more...] about Ferocious Friday: Kettlebell Lower Body Focus + Mini Core Circuit
Hanging Around at Home – Kettlebell and TRX Workout
I sometimes make the joke that my apartment, or the surrounding fields, the parking space etc is the site of some of the most intense training in town - not entirely sure if that's true, but its fun to say, and well - until someone proves differently, I'm going to keep saying it. Its extra fun to say because for whatever reason we've had two verified celebrity sightings … [Read more...] about Hanging Around at Home – Kettlebell and TRX Workout

Maniacal Monday – a “300” Workout for Kettlebell, Bodyweight and Optional TRX
I realized we hadn't done a "300" workout in a while - so it was time to write up a nice mean one for us all to enjoy. Always begin with your joint mobility exercises - then we warmed up with 20 two hand kettlebell swings. Do 3 rounds of the following to add up to 300 (perfectly executed, right?) reps in your best time possible - resting as needed - but always … [Read more...] about Maniacal Monday – a “300” Workout for Kettlebell, Bodyweight and Optional TRX
