Don't these sound like well-behaved topics?! Don't worry, I haven't gone off the goody-two-shoe deep end! Until recently, even though I've liked kale for a long time cooked in dishes etc, and raw baby kale for salads, I hadn't had any especially good experiences with kale chips. Especially the sort I tried to make myself in the oven a while ago which smelled horrible. … [Read more...] about Two Unlikely Subjects… Kale Chips and Lunges?!?!

The Slightly OCD Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
As mentioned a few days ago, my entire collection of kettlebells except for 3 particularly large ones "left the building" for the recent Orlando HKC. On Sunday they came back and were hastily stowed in the storage area, and while this was kind of annoying, I had already started coming up with a fun idea on how to reorganize them that would involve the small group class. We … [Read more...] about The Slightly OCD Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
A Workout Adjusted for Chaos – and More Praise for Code Name Indestructible
I've been chatting with Mike Krivka, lately about his awesome eBook Code Name: Indestructible. If you've been wondering if Code Name: Indestructible is for you or not, I've made a simple Venn diagram for you that should clear up any confusion. Those of you who happen to meet all three conditions, then seriously... buy it before you end up like that guy in the classic David … [Read more...] about A Workout Adjusted for Chaos – and More Praise for Code Name Indestructible

Some Thoughts on Beverages and an Interesting Workout Combo
There's all sorts of discussion flying around the internet about hydration, dehydration, etc. etc. personally having lived in Florida for a very long time I have always got a beverage of some sort at hand - or a bottle of filtered water. According to Mavea, the company that makes my favorite water filters, I run through as much drinking water as a "normal" family of 4. … [Read more...] about Some Thoughts on Beverages and an Interesting Workout Combo
Notes on Primal Move Ocala, Organic Food, and a Fairly Evil Workout
Yesterday's Primal Move workshop in Ocala, Florida was a TON of fun. We had a smaller group than some of the other workshops I've led before, but that ended up being just fine given the size of our location. Everyone who attended was very engaged, asked wonderful questions, and worked together as a great group. I'm curious to see what they come up with in their own training, … [Read more...] about Notes on Primal Move Ocala, Organic Food, and a Fairly Evil Workout
Kettlebell Workout: As Above, So Below
Until now, only a few people know that some of my better small group workouts begin as ideas scrawled on the back of coffee shop receipts in a post-espresso maniacal blur. Most of these ideas are legible only to other people who have terrible handwriting like me, and when I go back to review and refine them, it's not without some degree of amusement. By the look of my … [Read more...] about Kettlebell Workout: As Above, So Below
Kettlebell and Bodyweight Circuit Workout – Descent into Madness (Descending Ladder)
Here's a fun one from the kettlebell small group yesterday. We reinforced the "kettlebell wagon" to make it more heavy duty - while it's rated for 700lbs, the manufacturers seem to have thought we'd only use it for bags of mulch, not heavy iron kettlebells... a precision cut piece of plywood did the trick, so look for more heavy swing/deadlift workouts in the near … [Read more...] about Kettlebell and Bodyweight Circuit Workout – Descent into Madness (Descending Ladder)
Tearing It Up on Tuesday – Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
First off - make sure you keep everyone in Boston in your thoughts. It was so hard to watch this happen, especially somewhere which has so recently shown me such great hospitality. Amber Lee of GiryaScope was right near where it happened, and I am just so thankful that my close friend and fellow RKC was safe and able to help others. You can read her experience here and I … [Read more...] about Tearing It Up on Tuesday – Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
