Don’t Train Like a Guy
I’ll never forget it. Back before I’d heard of CrossFit or Kettlebells – before MOST ANYONE had heard of them – I worked out in a “Globo Gym.” I know, we all did. Some of us even liked it at one time or another. This gym was special though – because the girl I was [...]
Kettlebell Training and The Paleo Diet
I’ve been working with some form of a Paleo or Paleolithic diet for over 6 years now. I’ve written a lot about the diet and I’ve even summed up the basics in a Paleo Primer and my Free eBook download. I’ve also been part of the Kettlebell community since 2007 and the CrossFit community since [...]
Welcome to My Gym…
What do you REALLY need to get in a good workout? My life is a bit disorganized and crazy at the moment. Let’s call it “fluid” or “in flux” instead I’m living in my family’s little summer cottage in Old Saybrook and I have a “limited” amount of stuff to train with. I have: An [...]
Is Your Lifestyle Sustainable?
Something that recently occurred to me is the issue of sustainability as it relates to exercise, lifestyle and adrenal health. I hadn’t thought about it in exactly these terms until I watched a great Sara Ivanhoe interview on the Bridging Heaven and Earth Show. (Warning: This thing is VERY “airy fairy” and metaphysical. It’s definitely [...]
A Mind for the Paleo Diet
Guest Post by Travis Schefcik of UncommonWellness.com When people think about starting a new diet, most fast forward six months in their minds and imagine themselves in a thin new body.

Kettlebell Push Press – Refining the Details…
I want to give a HUGE thank you to Valery Fedorenko for the videos he’s been posting on YouTube. There is so much to learn in each of them. For me, this what really makes Kettlebell lifting so interesting – the constant refinement and nuances you can find when someone like Fedorenko shows you where [...]
CrossFit Workouts and Becoming More Efficient
I’m not sure what it was with Episode #33 of Robb Wolf’s Paleolithic Solution podcast, but it seemed to me it was even more loaded with good stuff than usual. Robb had a lot to say about using CrossFit workouts to become more efficient at the exercises and movements. This really got me thinking… I [...]
CrossFit for Weightlifters and Strength Athletes
This has been an exciting month for me. The March 2010 issue of MILO just came out and my article “CrossFit for Lifters” was in it. I’m unfortunately not able to reprint the article here, but here’s the magazine cover and a link to Ironmind’s MILO site. In my article, I explain some of the [...]
Why we do what we do…
Every once in a while I have a perfect moment where I realize why I do what I do. I had one of those tonight. I think for all of us it’s very easy to get wrapped up in the day to day grind and the millions of little tasks we have to do that [...]
Becoming Outstanding, Part 1
There’s a question I ask myself over and over again: “How do you become outstanding?” I ask myself that question about a lot of different topics. For the most part though, I ask myself that question with respect to physical training – martial arts, CrossFit and Kettlebells. I firmly believe that the right behaviors repeated [...]
