I don’t know about you, but it’s around this time of the year that I start to experience "Resolution Hangover". As soon as the New Year rolls around I hit the ground running on my goals and try to do my best to keep up the momentum. I’m on schedule, my energy is high, I’m ...…
Broken Legs Yes, that’s a picture of my 14-month-old son, JoaQuin, with a cast on his left leg. Last week he took a spill down a few stairs and fractured his tibia and fibula (both his shin bones). I took him to the hospital late Saturday night and we came home at 4 in ...…
Probably the most common question I get when it comes to performing a ketllebell clean is "How do I NOT get it to ‘bang’ my forearm or wrist?"

Today’s post is a bit of a break from the usual Kettlebell Training instruction. The snow over the weekend here in Toronto made the roads this morning treacherous, so since I don’t have snow tires on my bike (yet – I’m getting them on today), I decided to take the subway in to see some ...…
I’m just about to wrap things up for the day here at KettlebellWorkouts.com Headquarters – which could be any number of indie espresso shops here in the Greater Toronto Area. Before I take off and digitally disconnect for the weekend, I wanted to make sure that I posted this video for you. As requested (from ...…
I’m dipping into the mailbag today to answer some questions about kettlebell training. These questions all come from Gregory H who emailed me a couple of days ago. Q: I notice after a kettlebell workout my lower back is sore/fatigued and "sensitive". Is that indicative of bad form? Is it my back getting stronger (I ...…
Happy New Year. I’m writing this at a hotel in Niagara Falls where I spent the beginning of the New Year with my family. It’s early in the morning on Sunday and it seems like the whole hotel is asleep. It’s a great time to reflect on what I learned in the past year and ...…
