Before we get to the double kettlebell workout let’s play a little game! I spy with my little eye….a guy (or four) and the color is gray. Do you see Mount Rushmore in the background!!! We made it Mount Rushmore and it was not exactly “amazing” but really fun to see this icon of American […]

Sometimes I think we make things harder in our head they they are in reality. How many times have you talked yourself out of workout because it just seems like it’s going to be “too hard” or “you don’t have time”. I know I’ve done that more than I’d like to admit. Working out isn’t […]

I haven’t picked up my kettlebells for weeks. Truth be told, I’m still struggling with motivation in general but watching this kettlebell cardio circuit that we shot in St. Louis Missoris just may change that. Maybe. We loved St. Louis and I loved that we unexpectedly found this park the morning we decided to film […]

This is the final workout in my beginner kettlebell workout series as Pennsylvania was the last of the 13 original colonies for us to visit.

The second best thing about double kettlebell workouts are that you look twice as bad ass. 😉 We shot this double kettlebell workout a few months ago in Maine on top of Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National […]

Beginning kettlebells can be intimidating and often, for some women, learning the swing is the most intimidating of all. First, many women are still fearful of heavy weights being misled that lifting heavy will make them bulky. If this is you I assure you, that for the vast majority, weight training will not make you bulky. Yes, some women […]

Are kettlebells for cardio or strength training? That’s a question I get asked regularly. The answer is “It depends.” and “Both“. Since I don’t have access to a ” real gym” I’m using mostly kettlebells for cardio and strength. Kettlebells exercises are divided into two basic groups “grinds” and “ballistics“. Kettlebells for strength are often […]
