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 […]

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.

I haven’t picked up my kettlebells for weeks.

Another kettlebell workout two weeks in a row?!?! I might be able to catch up editing all my kettlebell workouts by winter’s end after all. I did this kettlebell workout in New Hampshire at Sabbaday Falls located in the White Mountains National Forest. Aside from the fact, I had to carry my kettlebell for the 15 minute walk […]

I admit when I first came across the new MAC Strength ad with a female bodybuilder, I was a bit startled. Is this real? Yes it is, unlike, the fake “My butt is big” Nike ad that circulated the internet a few years ago. Who is this beautiful woman in the ad? Her name is Jelena Abbou. […]
