Hello from the Florida Keys! This is one of our favorite places to visit. It’s were I filmed my Florida kettlebell workout two years ago. I’m doing well and I have some very exciting news (at least I’m super excited!) that I’m going to share next week. There is a BIG adventure ahead but until then […]

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 regret choosing to film these kettlebell workout video series. It’s not often but sometimes I wonder, “What in the world was I thinking?” My head fills with doubts about my body, my ability, and my strength. Or it’s hard to find a perfect workout location or the weather is sweltering or freezing. You know, […]

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 […]

This is a kettlebell workout for the outdoors. Or in the very least a kettlebell workout that shouldn’t be done on your wood or tiled floor because if you are like me you might drop the bell once. Or twice. Regardless, this is a fun kettlebell workout. Not to mention quick kettlebell workout for those […]

I’ve filmed some kettlebell workouts in some amazing places all the way from California to Maine. Places like the Florida Keys, near wild horses on Assateague Island and in front of the NYC skyline. But sometimes it’s the simple unexpected places that stand out. Places like this park we stumbled upon in Des Moines, Iowa   […]

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 kettlebell workout is only two moves and the sets are based on the 8 letters in the word Illinois. Like most of my workouts, I try to always connect some number in the workout with the number of letters.  Although there have been a few I was running low on creativity and just wanted […]

My jeans are finally fitting better. I haven’t made an effort to lose weight since I trained for my RKC weekend. I’m generally pretty comfortable in my body (most of the time) but over the last year as we traveled I ate more calories than than I burned. Pretty simple.  I wasn’t fat…not by a […]

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 […]
