Happy Monday! It’s Halloween week. One of the great things about being an adult is that you can just rotate through the different Halloween costumes you’ve had over the years. This year, we got invited to a disco-themed party, so I had to pick up a new costume. But for the themed workouts at my studio and trick-or-treating with the kiddos, I can rotate through my dodgeball costume, my turkey costume, Mr. Incredible, and a few more 😉 Whether you like to dress up or not, it’s all good. But I...

Can you sit down on the floor and stand back up without using your hands? I ask because this 10-second test might predict how long you’ll live! You see, a big study came out in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology. Researchers took 4,282 adults aged 46 to 75 and had them do exactly that: sit down on the floor and get back up. They scored each person from 0 to 10. You lose a point every time you use a hand, a knee, or something to hold onto, and half a point if you’re wobbly. Then...

One thing I like about having specific fitness goals is that they give you something to work toward. For example, in our upcoming Winter Warrior Challenge, we’re training toward these kettlebell weight standards: Women: Level 1: 12 kg (26 lbs) Level 2: 16 kg (35 lbs) Level 3: 20 kg (44 lbs) Men: Level 1: 20 kg (44 lbs) Level 2: 24 kg (53 lbs) Level 3: 28 kg (62 lbs) We’ll be using these weights for two of our five challenge events: 1. 100 One-Arm Kettlebell Swings in 5 Minutes 10 swings every...

Here’s an interesting question… Can you actually lose weight through exercise alone – WITHOUT changing your diet? Most people assume the answer is no. You’ve probably heard the saying that you can’t out-exercise a bad diet. And while there’s some truth to that, the research is actually a little more interesting. A review in Diabetes Spectrum examined exercise's role in weight loss and weight maintenance. One study it discussed followed overweight adults who exercised five days per week,...

You might not believe me, but I think we can keep training hard — even as we age! We just have to be a little smarter about it. One thing that becomes especially important as we get older is power. Strength is the ability to move a load. Power is the ability to move that load quickly. Maintaining power as we age matters because it affects reflexes, balance, athleticism, and our ability to react quickly. That’s one reason I love kettlebell swings for the 50+ crowd. Unlike slow, controlled...

Try the full Lifetime Kettlebell Evolution program here -> Reclaim Your Strength, Move Without Pain, and Feel Up to 20 Years Younger One thing I like about kettlebells for people over 50 is that you can train multiple fitness qualities at once. In this workout, the Turkish Get-Up builds shoulder stability, balance, coordination, and core strength. The split squats and rows strengthen the legs, glutes, and upper back—areas that become increasingly important as we age. The swings build power...
