Today I have a special post for you. Today I am interviewing Kayla Brown. Kayla is Miss Northern Lakes and she will be competing for the title of Miss Minnesota in a couple of months. How cool is that? If you remember, last fall I had the privilege of judging a beauty contest. Kayla was the winner.
On top of that, Kayla raises money for the Children’s Miracle Network. So for the last 3 or 4 weeks, I have been working with Kayla and sponsoring the CMN as my charity for the month. Let’s see what she has to say. Continue reading
This week we are going to be doing some On The Minute snatch work. This series is very good at teaching, perfecting, and honing your snatch technique.
Swing x 1, T-Rex x 1, Snatch x 1
Ladder test for the first few minutes to get a good baseline. From there, make sure that you hit perfect reps every rounds. I would rather you take a round off than give me bad reps just so you can say you did them. Check out the video Continue reading
What do you do when you get too strong? That is a great question really.
If you come to my studio only then you know that I have enough kettlebells to last most people a long time. But still even then I have a limit for as high as the weight gets. More often though it is the people lifting at home who only have maybe one or two kettlebells. What do they do when they are stronger than their bell?
Check out today’s video for some cool pressing variations for when you get a little too strong for the bells you have.
A couple of weeks ago I polled my Facebook fans on what they would like to see. Overwhelmingly the response was my brand new product, the “Squat-O-Mattic 6000.” This brand new device is guaranteed to improve your squat movement, teach you how to pull into depth, and prevent you from hurting your knees while squatting. All of that for only 7 easy payments of $29.95.
But seriously though, check out the video. I am going to show you how to use a simple item that you can probably find laying around your house to really fix up your squat pattern. Continue reading
5/5, 4/4, 3/3, 2/2, 1/1 = 1 Round, Complete 4 rounds for time.
Give this workout a shot and drop me a comment below letting me know how you did.
Later.
Hey everyone i have a special treat for you today. Today I have a guest article by Melanie Bowen. Melanie is a bright gal I hve had the opportunity to converse with recently and am really excited that she has elected to write this guest post for my blog.
Before you get started on her article I do have to give you a heads up on the upcoming 6 Week Summer Slim Down. This is the final week before registration. Many have already joined and like I say in the video, the more people who join the bigger the grand prize.
Alright now on to Melanie’s article. Continue reading
Hey everyone back with another workout of the week. This week I am doing a Stacking chain that focuses around the Snatch. Before you get to the video I have to tell you about this week’s Boot Camp For A Cause. We are still sponsoring the local Special Olympics for another week or two.
All you have to do is come to the workout at 9:00 am on Saturdays and bring a donation to the Special Olympics. I don’t take any fees for my weekly Boot Camp For A Cause. Alright now on to the video. Continue reading
What do you do when you have exercised for years only to injure yourself, get little no results and feel down right discouraged? After all of that, can you even believe a word that comes from the health and fitness industry? Melinda did. Sort of. It took a while and some prodding but she did take a chance. Funny part is I wasn’t the one who got her started. It was my girlfriend Jenn that did it. Check out Melinda’s story. Continue reading
