6-Pack Challenge – Can I Build Abs in Just 30 days?

Now with the new year approaching and the holiday feasts in the rear window, it's time for a new challenge. I've never been a vain person and in the past would scoff at the idea of building 6-pack abs. However, after putting so much effort and work into bettering myself and my body, flattening my stomach completely seems like the next logical step.

Organize Your Kettlebell Collection With a Corner Kettlebell Rack

Since I've been working out with kettlebells over the last 20+ months I've expanded my collection of them from time to time. Although they are small and don't take up much space individually, having several of them has started to present a clutter problem. If it weren't for my wife, I'd still have my kettlebells strewn across the floor of my workout space. Thanks to her creative idea of gifting me a kettlebell rack for our wedding anniversary, things are a lot tidier!

Up and Down Kettlebell Flow for Strength and Cardio

Some of my favorite kettlebell flows aren't all that dazzling to watch but offer an effective workout nonetheless. The first flow I ever covered by Onnit's Eric Leija is one I perform weekly and still thoroughly enjoy. Why? It checks off all the boxes that I look for in a flow which are simplicity, pacing, and alternating sides for symmetry and recuperation.

A 15 Lb. Kettlebell is a Good Starting Weight for Out of Shape Men

As kettlebells have gained popularity in the U.S. over the past several years, many men and women are using them to reach their fitness goals. One of the first questions kettlebell newcomers have is what weight they should start with. Men are encouraged to start with a 35 lb. kettlebell if they are active. Other sites suggest that 25 lbs. is the right size for those who don't exercise. I still think that might be too heavy and, in fact, believe a 15 lb. kettlebell is the best choice for out-of-shape men.

I Lugged My Kettlebell With Me On A 5K Walk

It's not enough that I participate in physical activities or events. Now that kettlebells are such a big part of my life, I'm always up for carrying them with me for an additional challenge. In September, I took my 25 lb. kettlebell on a hike up a mountain. It took every ounce of energy I had but I successfully ascended and descended the mountain clocking in around 3 hours total time and nearly 4 miles of distance. I figured walking a 5K with a kettlebell would be a breeze. Therefore, it made sense to up the stakes by bringing a heavier kettlebell for this flat terrain walk. However, after some consideration, I stuck with my 25 lb. kettlebell.

3 Kettlebell Workouts I Love To Hate

I'm not sure how often the average kettlebell enthusiast works out during the week. Myself, I like to do 5 days in a row (Monday - Friday) for 20 minutes each day. In order to sustain that frequency, it's important that I leave a little bit in the tank as they say. However, once or twice a month, I make it a point to go all out and torture myself with a grueling workout. Why? Sometimes it is out of guilt, especially if I've had a poor day of dieting prior to that workout. Other times, it's just because I want to test my limits and gauge how much my body can handle.

Why You Should Really Care About Your Body’s Mobility

The term mobile has become synonymous with portable technology and devices these days. A simple search query of this single phrase really makes clear the shift in the definition over the past decade. It's a bit ironic, however, since the device itself moves around yet we stay fixated on it and stationary the majority of the time. Don't get me wrong, this technology has certainly made life easier and things more convenient than ever. Unfortunately, it also does a great job of distracting us from proper self-care and maintenance.
