Yesterday under overcast skies I took to my favourite hill here in the city (aka The Big Mudda Hill) for a Kettlebell Extreme Workout.

OK, so here’s the truth…I trained yesterday for the first time in a week. It’s a very busy time of year and so regular training has had to take a back seat to some other priorities. Don’t get me wrong, I still do other things. I ride my bike everyday to get to and from ...…
I’m all about multi-purpose, multi-joint exercises. I’ve gotten far away from the single joint, isolation movements of bodybuilders.

Today’s QnA covers the general “diet” that I use. A few weeks back, I talked about Intermittent Fasting and how it keeps me lean. And although I’ve been using IF for over 5 years now, that doesn’t mean that when I AM eating I’m chowing down on burgers, fries, fish & chips, pizza and cake. ...…
Today’s QnA is dedicated to the time-crunched professional, the stressed out soccer mom and my client who believes that he needs to train 5 days per week otherwise he’s “going to get fat” (I know, right?). Here’s an email Geoff got regarding a guy who quit using kettlebells and actually LOST 15lbs. That’s not SUPPOSED ...…
I’ve been married to my wife going on 12 years this June. She’s an amazing woman and someone that I truly admire. For those of you that don’t know, my wife Rozanne and I have 5 kids (and they are ALL ours…because you have to specify that these days). We have one child, our 13 ...…
***Editor’s Note: Today’s post is another gem on Kettlebell Workouts and everyday stress levels by Master RKC, Geoff Neupert.*** ===================================================================== STRESS can be a KILLER.
