Please excuse the poor video quality.  I shot this a while back using my little ol’ laptop.
The movement is pretty straightforward.  Grab the kettlebell by the [...]

-Get A Rope!-

One of the more nifty tools that’s become a little popular these days is simply a 30-50 foot piece of rope.  
What?
What in the heck do you do with a rope, you ask?
Kick your as*!
Seriously.
Rope undulations are TREMENDOUS for total-body training!  Your entire body must work to get the waves going, and keep ‘em going. [...]

-Keep Your Best Friend Healthy!-

 
Yesterday was another beautiful day here in Baton Rouge and once again, I felt guilty at the thought of wasting it!  In addition, it was a perfect excuse to take Biskit for a jog.  You see, when we lived in Austin, he got to go for a walk at least once a day.  It’s tricky [...]

-Everybody Do The Inchworm!-

If you’ve trained with me, chances are you’ve done Inchworms.  I don’t have everyone do ‘em, but those who are “lucky” enough have a love/hate relationship with ‘em!  The Inchworm is a great drill to improve flexibility in the hams, calves, and low back. It’s also great for core and shoulder stabilization. I like to throw [...]
