I keep checking to see if any of the neighbors are building an ark. Seriously... the rain—all week... rain rain rain rain rain. AAAGGGHHHH!!!!! This is especially annoying for people who like to walk to their errand destinations, who like to practice beginner and clutch flags on any available safe pole, who like to do fingertip pull ups off of various pieces of … [Read more...] about Ideas about indoor kettlebell and bodyweight workouts

The Wanderer… Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
It's no secret that I'm nuts about the Convict Conditioning series of books and DVDs from Dragon Door - and of course totally hooked on kettlebell training too. Here's an example of a fairly (you can adjust the difficulty to meet your own needs) advanced workout that involves a great deal of variety. The real fun is derived from it's variability - it can adapt to whatever … [Read more...] about The Wanderer… Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
Heavy Duty Hand to Hand Kettlebell Workouts
The two versions of this workout are a lot of fun, but should only be attempted if you're VERY comfortable with the 1 arm swing. They also should be performed outside or in a safe area, especially if you're trying 1 arm swings with a heavier kettlebell than usual. Make sure to always keep your form, stop before things get sloppy. You will need to use a strong hip … [Read more...] about Heavy Duty Hand to Hand Kettlebell Workouts
Monday On The Run Day Kettlebell Workout
Most people are running around like maniacs on Mondays - so here's a quick kettlebell workout to start the week off right. This was written for 2 classes - a 50 minute class and a 30 minute class. I'm going to share the short one - now... don't think that short means easy. We began with joint mobility then a small warmup circuit with the "usual … [Read more...] about Monday On The Run Day Kettlebell Workout
Half Beginner Half Advanced – A Kettlebell Workout and Practice Session
Small group consisted of some of our most advanced people on Monday, so it was time to learn something not only new, but fairly advanced. When he came back from the Return of the Kettlebell workshop, Tim Shuman RKCII showed me the ever so nifty double kettlebell snatching technique in the book and as practiced at the workshop. We had pairs of the following kettlebells … [Read more...] about Half Beginner Half Advanced – A Kettlebell Workout and Practice Session
A Traveling Kettlebell Workout with Variety!
Typically for a Friday we had a couple people missing from class - and since I am not one to mope, I saw this as a fun opportunity to do something a little different. Around the neighborhood I've found some fun places to do things like fingertip hangs, pull ups, clutch flags, etc. and what I personally like to do sometimes is to tote a moderate to light kettlebell around for a … [Read more...] about A Traveling Kettlebell Workout with Variety!
Mindful Monday Kettlebell Swing Fine Tuning Workout
It was time to really hammer on the basics again - as the proper execution of the kettlebell swing is so crucial to getting the most benefit from it - don't let youtube or goofy things on tv tell you otherwise! We began with the usual joint mobility warm up exercises - adding in a few of the favorite pump stretches. And continued with a review of the hip hinge - we even … [Read more...] about Mindful Monday Kettlebell Swing Fine Tuning Workout
Hold It Right There, Practice and Circuits – a Kettlebell Workout
Here's a version of a fun one we did this week in small group - it's been modified to be a little more general - we worked on some specific stuff in the actual class related to the progress of those in attendence. ANYWAY - since if you train with me, it means you'll learn to loooooooooooooove kettlebell cleans. Or, maybe will give up on hating them. More yabbering about why … [Read more...] about Hold It Right There, Practice and Circuits – a Kettlebell Workout
Heavy Stuff…. A Workout with Laurel Blackburn RKC Level 2 at Tallahassee Kettlebells
Good friend and fellow RKC Level 2 Instructor, Laurel Blackburn and I had a whole lot of fun this past weekend at her gym. She'd had a HUGE week - when she donated a training session to the Tallahassee Police TAC team - they showed up and apparently so did the press, and the local news, and and... it sounded like if someone had showed up with a food truck, Tallahassee … [Read more...] about Heavy Stuff….

A Get Back Into The Groove Adjustable 300 Kettlebell Workout
Promise, this is not just another excuse to use that incredibly silly graphic - but I just couldn't help myself. This particular "300" variation was made for client who was coming back after being out with the flu for about a week and a half - so he stuck with *relatively* light kettlebells for these exercises - going heavier with the deadlifts, because after my visit with … [Read more...] about A Get Back Into The Groove Adjustable 300 Kettlebell Workout
