Last night, just for fun I decided to revisit an old favorite workout "Double Trouble III" with some minor modifications - Warm up was Primal Move, and some bridge variations as inspired by Convict Conditioning. Next I did 20 16kg kettlebell snatches* on each side, a short break consisting of refilling the water filter pitcher then trying this really fun backwards roll into … [Read more...] about Double Kettlebell Workout, a Relaxing Recipe, and a Little Podcast

A Challenge, A Weekend Workout, Chocolate Reviews and Other Important Stuff
Its always fun to visit other gyms, hang out etc. Inside is very nice, but of course we had to get grungy and throw tires around, push prowlers, and swing kettlebells instead. Inside we did a Primal Move warm up, played with the really great pull up bar setup (I managed to do another couple muscle ups), and then some really weird pull ups on this very bizarre and hard to hang … [Read more...] about A Challenge, A Weekend Workout, Chocolate Reviews and Other Important Stuff
Bruce Lee Birthday Celebration Workout
The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering.” – Bruce Lee Today would have been Bruce Lee's 72nd birthday - his influence on martial arts, fitness and entertainment continue to this day without showing any signs of slowing down. Bruce Lee's approach to training is an inspiration to my own training in an odd indirect sort of way, most of which is summed up … [Read more...] about Bruce Lee Birthday Celebration Workout
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
A Case of the Mondays – Kettlebell and Friends Workout
A few ill-timed inconveniences today were a bit... frustrating. And it was time to well... fix that with some good old fashioned exercise-induced endorphins. It was also a good time to sandwich in some technique and Primal Move practice as well. The weather was really nice today, so we took full advantage of that. Even though class size was small today, a LOT of work got … [Read more...] about A Case of the Mondays – Kettlebell and Friends Workout
Up for a Challenge?
My super cool friends from The EDGE Team Performance Center and Kettlebell Club in Dayton, Ohio had an event years ago - it's a fun conditioning workout test that you can do infrequently to check on your progress. Here's the scoop - I did it backwards - accidentally on purpose* (choose a moderate sized kettlebell** - or one that you train with regularly) and: Start your … [Read more...] about Up for a Challenge?
Courthouse Calisthenics Workout….
So, I was called in for jury duty, which of course caused me a whole lot of tooth-gnashing and concern... would I get stuck on something for days and days (my greatest fear), or would they let me go? The good news - after making me and about 900 other people sit around for most of the day, they ended up not needing me. Considering the proliferation of snack machines and … [Read more...] about Courthouse Calisthenics Workout….
A Kettlebell Workout for a Fit Beginner
Someone not new to fitness, but new to kettlebells can present an interesting programming challenge. Frankly, it's a great reason to focus on basics, and great for advanced people too. Combos like this are also useful for people who may have somehow lost the groove of their swing, are coming back from vacation, etc. Honestly, it's always a great idea to revisit the basics … [Read more...] about A Kettlebell Workout for a Fit Beginner
Sloshy Times… A Workout for Kettlebells and Sloshpipe
Some of the head honchos over at Savage Race train with us, and one brought along some special gifts today. Now... these are the guys who create some of the wickedest, most mean looking mud runs around... this is NOT a race for the weak. Some of the obstacles are downright sadistic. There... I said it. Anyway if you are up for an extreme challenge, go check out their site and … [Read more...] about Sloshy Times… A Workout for Kettlebells and Sloshpipe
Hurrah Hurrah It’s Track Day!
The weather was actually *NICE* out today, and it seemed like a good time as any to take a little trek down to the local running track - it's part of a city park, so everyone can use it. Given the good weather, there were all kinds of things going on - kids soccer practice, a running group, all kinds of stuff, and a friend's local bootcamp showed up as we were leaving - so it … [Read more...] about Hurrah Hurrah It’s Track Day!
