This is why I love motorcycles!


Laura and I spent the day riding through the mountains and back roads of Santa Maria, Ca. This was all made possible by one person, John Roberts RKC. He has two Harley Heritage Soft tails and was our tour guide on the hour plus ride. There is no better way to spend a 70 degree day than with the woman you love a motorcycle and a great tour guide and friend.

Thanks John we had a great time! We would love to do it again soon.

Tires and Slegdehammers

Last night was I tire and sledgehammer workout. Really simple 600 pound tire and a 8# sledge. Flip tire 3 times beat it with the sledge 10 times, flip three more times and ten more whacks then rest. Complete 3 time and call it a night.

Classes have been going really well and the energy has been great from all my clients lately and that rocks.

Laura has been working like made to set up as many HKCs as I can handle. Next year is going to be busy.

I want one

Yeah things are great!


I have had a great week. Training has been solid for me tons of presses and weighted pull ups. Plus 5 minutes of get ups with 40kg, I couldn't ask for more.

Classes have been good and the new spot to night classes in Santa Barbara Fueled Sports is going to be killer.

And to top off the week I spent the day with two things I love Laura Sacks and a motorcycle. We took all day to cruise the hills of Ventura county. I couldn't have asked for better company and was surprised by the motorcycle/ scooter a Burgman 65o. The best way to describe this thing is a step through motorcycle. Comfortable, fast and the complete two wheel experience.

HKC the beginning

Having just returned from the first ever HKC all I have to say is WOW! We rocked 120 participants with 4 Master RKCs, 8 Senior RKCs and 1 evil Russian. They never stood a chance. Mark my words the RKC will take over the kettlebell and fitness world. There will be very exciting news very shortly about future HKCs.

The HKC is going to be a good farm system for the RKC. In the end it will turn out more even high quality RKCs. By giving HKC participants a little taste of how the RKC runs a certification. They will come into the RKC better prepared. I feel this will also eliminate the kettlebell newbie from showing up to the RKC to learn kettlebells. Then having to leave beat down after the first day because they bit off more than they could chew.

Today's training 32kg military press 10 sets of 5 R/L

Tough day for a Thursday


I had class at 6am on the beach. After that I came home and Laura and I went to the beach to chill for an hour or so. While we sat there we decided to train. Went to the truck and grabbed some bells and trained. Followed by coffee, emails and a 30min nap. Laura headed off to afternoon classes. I hit the store made dinner and taught my night class. On the way past the house grabbed Laura and went to see Inglourious Basterds (WOW). We headed home and called it a day. Like I said REALLY TOUGH DAY!!!

PS the pic is of the beach we trained on.
