After writing a short blog post for the PCC Blog on active rest last week, I've made a concerted effort to include more of it in my week as I ramp up training towards making an audition video for American Ninja Warrior AND helping to lead the PCC Workshop in Encinitas later next month. The weather was really nice yesterday too, so I packed up a couple things and with the excuse … [Read more...] about Outdoor Deviled Eggs “How To” Video, Active Rest and Planning for 2015

Hawaii, Motivation, Priorities, American Ninja Warrior… [with videos]
Hawaii Adventure, or how I ended up doing pull ups right next to the Pacific Ocean... Those of you on Instagram already know some of what's in this post, but I wanted to kind of fill in the details here and there. In recent years I've gotten into a travel habit, so much so that if I have to stick around in one place too long I get a little annoyed. Granted the constant … [Read more...] about Hawaii, Motivation, Priorities, American Ninja Warrior… [with videos]
Clutch Flag Mini Tutorial and Video!
Recently, a friend of mine asked about the grip for the clutch flag. Given that this interesting move is one of my favorites to coach, and one of the most difficult to describe in just words (typing or even on the phone!) it seemed like a good idea to make a video. But before we get to that, I wanted to mention a little bit of backstory. Quite a while ago, even before the … [Read more...] about Clutch Flag Mini Tutorial and Video!
A Benchmark Workout for Kettlebell, Ultimate Sandbag, and Track
For whatever reason--even though much like RKC Team leader Paul Britt, I do not like running at all--I am sometimes compelled to work a lap around the track into the occasional workout. It's a funny thing, for all of my not liking to run and for a perceived "weak point" in terms of certain types of endurance, I've been told that I'm fairly fast for surprising distances. … [Read more...] about A Benchmark Workout for Kettlebell, Ultimate Sandbag, and Track

The Power of Working on the Kettlebell Basics, a Workout and a Video (mostly about food)
Before leaving for NJ/NY last week to train with Master RKC Phil Ross, I wanted to make sure to make the absolute most of the training time up there, so over the past few weeks I had ramped up both my strength endurance activities, as well as generally the high intensity cardio (heavy swings, sprawls*, Ultimate Sandbag drills like rotational lunges, and things that nearly have … [Read more...] about The Power of Working on the Kettlebell Basics, a Workout and a Video (mostly about food)
Unboxing This Week’s Delivery from Space Girl Organics! [VIDEO]
After mentioning Space Girl Organics to a new friend on a recently flight, I was inspired to make a new (and somewhat better lit) unboxing video for today's "standard vegetable fresh" delivery. I mean... I had to unpack it to put it all in the fridge anyway, right? So Karen I hope you enjoy this (or have time to watch) but here are the goodies I received today!

A Fun P.E. Inspired Outdoor Kettlebell and Bodyweight Variation for Small Groups–with VIDEO
We've been having a ton of fun occasionally using a giant soccer field for our small group workouts. A little bit ago, I'd received a SandBell from Hyperwear and was inspired to think about "P.E. games" and related activities that might be fun to add to our workouts... Then I found my old stack of 20 orange plastic cones, and the following workout variations came about. In … [Read more...] about A Fun P.E.

Orlando HKC Recap, a Shoulder Tip Video and Other Fun Stuff
It was really super that Senior RKC Beth Andrews could come down to Orlando and lead what was possibly the best HKC we've ever had. It was held at Signature Fitness where a couple of my very good friends work. The amusing part was their gym didn't really have a whole lot of kettlebells... so between two cars, we managed to transport all but three of my collection over to the … [Read more...] about Orlando HKC Recap, a Shoulder Tip Video and Other Fun Stuff

Here's a very informal little video I just made today with 2 of my favorite SUPER BASIC mace exercises.
