Kettlebells started as just another tool. But they've become an integral part of my training for sooo many reasons.

Swing

Wasting time in the gym? I hate that for you. Instead:

✅ Same/similar workouts for 3-6 week blocks

✅ Track data in an app or notebook 📓

✅ Swap exercises or ask to work-in rather than waiting for busy equipment

✅ Use an app, phone or watch timer to keep rest periods honest

Would rather be on the Oregon Trail 💀 than the proverbial "wagon".

The real "secret" is learning to ADAPT training to SUPPORT your season of life:

1️⃣ scale workouts for time

2️⃣ adjust training on a given week for the top priority

3️⃣ choosing a focus for the next months that fits real life

⛰️PSA hobbling down your steps the day after a big hike or trail run is OPTIONAL...with the right training.

Here are 3 of my favorite training methods to feel strong AF on those early season adventures.

PS - I'm launching a new training membership for outdoor sports. See my bio for more!

If performance, or the adaptations that come with it, are your priority:

Training fasted is not the way.

Train fed.
Let your heart, lungs, muscles, nervous system, mitochondria be the limiting factor...not your lack of fuel.

Your body will INVEST in building itself up 💪

If you struggle with front racking #kettlebells, here are 4 things to try 🤗.

Goal of front rack is:
✅ challenge your core for carries, marches, etc

✅ position the bell for presses, squats, lunges

..not 🚫 stress shoulder, wrist or elbow

Evil but effective. #turkishgetup hovers to practice creating SPACE to sweep the leg thru by opening hips & actively driving that hand & opp foot into ground.

V. Spicy 🔥 so start bodyweight or light!!

Did you know...you can work *just* the down (or just the up) phase of the #kettlebell snatch?

This is a great way to practice specific skills without the complexity or fatigue of tying it all together in continuous #snatch.

Working a new movement for me: single jerk and power jerk with a 44 lb #kettlebell - 3 x 6, alternating regular and power (aka more explosive DRIVE into the floor).
