I'm incredibly honored to be interviewed by new RKC Sebastian Müller on his blog. He asks some great questions, some of which I know others have been curious about too - Here's a little bit of it - Sebastian Müller: When did you first discover kettlebells? Adrienne Harvey: I first discovered kettlebells around 2008 when I was looking online for alternatives to working … [Read more...] about Interviewed by Sebastian Müller, RKC from Germany – GREAT questions!

Tough Love for the Kettlebell Clean Part TWO – a Practice Workout
Having just returned from the San Diego RKC, I had plenty of scribbled notes, new cues, and fun combos for my kettlebell small group class... and don't worry, Wednesday people, your time is coming! :) One of the TOUGHEST kettlebell exercises to learn and to teach can be the clean. But, it's incredibly worthwhile to persist with it, even though it can be frustrating. I … [Read more...] about Tough Love for the Kettlebell Clean Part TWO – a Practice Workout
Let’s Talk About Designing Kettlebell Workouts….
There was a LOT of interest—we were babbling about it excitedly on Facebook, twitter, the Dragon Door forums, possibly even Pinterest?!—the ebook edition of The RKC Book of Strength and Conditioning came out yesterday. Judging from my own reaction and the reactions of others about this "can't put it down, ooo look what's on the next page" book, it's already an "instant … [Read more...] about Let’s Talk About Designing Kettlebell Workouts….
A Kettlebell Workout, a Busy Week, a Visitor, and MORE!
It's been a great week, but as you can see from my personal lack of article posting here, a BUSY ONE too! The good news is there's tons of new content on the way for you very soon. In the mean time, here's what's been going on: I switched up the schedule for Kettlebell Small Group - the now very exclusive class I teach - and this was a great thing to do because we had a … [Read more...] about A Kettlebell Workout, a Busy Week, a Visitor, and MORE!
I Go, You Go, We All Go Kettlebell Swing Crazy: A Partner Workout
This was a whole lot of fun. I did this workout with a friend who had been out of the "swing of things" (haha) for a couple weeks. As you'll notice there are a few swing variations that sometimes we use to help "correct" the kettlebell swing form. In the case of this particular workout, they were chosen mainly for fun, but also to remind my friend about a few particulars. … [Read more...] about I Go, You Go, We All Go Kettlebell Swing Crazy: A Partner Workout
Happy 4th of July, What Kind of Kettlebells, Program Design for Groups
First off, Happy 4th to all my American friends! :) People ask me a LOT of questions daily—somtimes I even know the answers! Granted, a lot of the questions don't have clear cut answers, but are very individualized. For instance - someone asked if they should get competition style kettlebells or the cast iron Dragon Door kettlebells (pretty sure you regular readers … [Read more...] about Happy 4th of July, What Kind of Kettlebells, Program Design for Groups
The DOE Manmaker Kettlebell Workout Revisited…
It's Friday... which means its time for a challenge... one week we flipped tires with Seth Petruzelli's Extreme Conditioning class, sometimes we repurpose a fit trail, get out the TRXs, the Battling Rope, or do ninja-inspired found-gym workouts all over the neighborhood. Today, it was time to test out the old school brutal drill... the US Department of Energy's Manmaker as … [Read more...] about The DOE Manmaker Kettlebell Workout Revisited…
Hanging around with Aleks Salkin – and an interesting workout
So, I have to finish up some other projects today first, but know that a really fun partner kind of video montage thing is on the way. I grabbed Aleks Salkin who you may recognise from some previous articles for some fun "anywhere" workouts during a break at the Marketing Mastermind Intensive (MMI from here on out) this past weekend. The video should be cool, but in the … [Read more...] about Hanging around with Aleks Salkin – and an interesting workout
Double Kettlebell Fun Time – Hotel Parking Lot Edition
I got dragged out of town for a family event this weekend and well, had some frustration to work out about it - especially since it meant missing a fun time open house at Crossfit Firebase (complete with Paleo food demos and samples), as well as a very cool car show too (10th Anniversary of Concours). But it is what it is, so I put myself up in a nice hotel and met up with … [Read more...] about Double Kettlebell Fun Time – Hotel Parking Lot Edition
Now We Get to Act Like A Bunch of ANIMALS… a kettlebell and bodyweight workout!
So much inspiration and creativity stemming from the recent visit to NYC, Nimble Fitness, Equinox, and of course Al Kavadlo's Saturday Morning class. This particular workout's "warm up" was directly influenced by the warmup from Al's class I attended. Lacking access to Thompson Square Park, I came up with a simple circuit punctuated with our favorite 2 hand kettlebell swings … [Read more...] about Now We Get to Act Like A Bunch of ANIMALS… a kettlebell and bodyweight workout!
