Sometimes... You just need to burn more calories! Here's 5 ways how: => http://fatburningnation.com/5-ways-to-burn-more-calories/
BURN 20.2 CALORIES PER MINUTE WITH THIS EXERCISE!
A spin class burns 9.8 calories per minute... Running at a 6-minute mile pace burns 10.2 calories per minute... Jumping rope burns up to 19 calories per minute... But THIS exercise => http://thesuperhumanlife.com/challenge
This exercise takes the cake...
In fact, this exercise has been shown to burn up to 20.2 calories per minute and works over 639 muscles at once.
Can you guess what it is?
=> Is It Sprints.
=> Is It The Kettlebell Swing.
=> Is It High Intensity Strength Training.
==========
So, did you guess right?
If you guessed the Kettlebell Swing you would be correct!
=> http://thesuperhumanlife.com/challenge
One of the most powerful exercises on planet. Simple as that.
I've been experimenting with regular ol' kettlebell swings for about 2-years now, however, it wasn't until last year that I started to get a bit more serious about them.
Now Kettlebell's can be intimidating at first. However, EVERYONE reading this can benefit from them greatly.
To name just a few benefits...
==Develops functional strength
==Builds up a rock solid core (including strengthening your low back)
==Drastically increases cardiovascular strength
Enhances coordination
==They are EASY to do...
Now that last one may surprise you... And I thought this way for a long time. However, once you get the hang of the kettlebell swing, it gets easier and easier to do...
Look, I am still no kettlebell expert, however that doesn't stop me from getting in some incredible KB workouts...
Workouts like the ones my good friend and kettlebell expert Forest Vance has put together including his 33 Kettlebell Challenge Workouts that take less than 20-minutes to complete. (sale ends at midnight!) => http://thesuperhumanlife.com/challenge
Forest was actually the one several months ago that helped me improve my ketllebell movements simply by watching his instructional videos (which are great by the way).
Anyway, in the last few months I've been experimenting by adding Kettlebell Finishers to my workouts. I'll tell you all about those in a second, but first I wanted Forest to address a few of the concerns people have when it comes to kettlebell swings. Here's Forest:
Your KB Training Concerns
by Forest Vance, author, Kettlebell Challenge Workouts
I had a guest article and video published on a fitness colleague's blog recently. The article and video outlined one of my kettlebell challenge workouts.
I got several comments with very positive feedback. But one of them from an anonymous ortho surgeon was pretty scathing, to say the least.
At first I was a bit upset when I saw the post. But then I quickly realized that I was HAPPY he posted his comment because if he's thinking and writing the things he is, odds are other folks are as well and it's a great opportunity to address some common kettlebell training concerns.
So I thought I'd share with you the three big points touched on in his response and my answers to hopefully address some of your top KB training concerns:
Point #1 - Kettlebell training is bad for your back
My answer -
With all due respect, if you feel that the swing is an exercise that is bad for your back, I would challenge you and say that you are likely doing the exercise incorrectly.
The swing is in fact GOOD for your back if done correctly it promotes proper movement patterns and strengthens the muscles of the posterior chain, among other things.
Point #2 - This workout is random, has no rhyme or reason, and is not backed by science
My answer -
If the workout in this particular post (one of my kettlebell challenge workouts) was done by itself, randomly, that might not be ideal. But there are many ways one could use workouts like this one in a logical and progressive fashion, such as:
Plugged in to a training scheme that makes sense so the workout is done at a specific time and for a specific reason, not just randomly.
It can be done periodically to test your fitness level, and for a fun challenge.
For when you are short on time and / or available equipment and want a quick, effective workout in place of your regular routine.
And many more.
Point #3 - Why are you programming 200 swings into a workout.
My answer -
In short, for both the physical and mental challenge! Because that's what a workout like this is all about!! :)
That being said, in this specific workout, yes, the total volume is 200 swings (100 at the beginning, 100 at the end)... but that does NOT mean you would need to do all 100 swings in a row.
With good form and a proper weight, this is in fact do-able with virtually zero risk of injury. (Again, I would challenge your swing form.) HOWEVER, for folks who are just getting started, are still working on their form, etc. breaking up the set with rest is 100% fine (like doing five sets of 20 reps each, or even ten sets of ten).
I am all about making KB workouts challenging but do-able for all ability levels.
To sum up, if you've ever had concerns about any of the things I touched on in the message above, hopefully todayís email was helpful for you.
And the bottom line is, whatever form of exercise you choose, whether it be running, pick-up basketball, or kettlebell lifting... There is inherent risk involved. You can get injured. But the benefits are many, many times over more worth it than the potential harm. That's why we do it :)
Thanks for reading, train hard, and talk soon -

REALLY good stuff about KB training right there.
=> http://thesuperhumanlife.com/challenge
I'm always up for a challenge. So when my good friend emailed me yesterday with one of his new kettlebell challenge workouts... I was ALL about it.
=> http://thesuperhumanlife.com/kettlebellchallenge
Forest and I have known each other for about 2-years now and have become good friends over those two years, talking weekly and sharing what's working in our training, business, and life. Here's just a few fun facts that Forest and I share:
1. We both are former athletes (Forest played in the NFL!)
2. We are both super tall (I'm 6'6" and Forest is 6'5")
3. We both LOVE challenges and helping others reach their goals.
Anyway, the workout Forest sent over is what he calls "FVT Challenge Workout" (also known as the Forest Vance Training Challenge Workout!). Here it is:
=> http://thesuperhumanlife.com/kettlebellchallenge
FTV Challenge Workout (from Kettlebell Challenge Workouts)
-- 100 kettlebell swings (16k for women, 24k for men)
-- 50 burpees (touch body to the floor on each rep)
-- 100 push ups (knees for women, toes for men)
-- 50 inverted rows (body should be parallel to the floor; body touches bar/etc. at top of each rep)
-- 100 lunges (tap knee to the floor at the bottom of each rep)
AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.
- weights listed are "prescribed" and what you want to eventually work up to using ... BUT use good judgement and safety when selecting a weight for YOUR own fitness and ability level
- exercises can be done in ANY order you want (do NOT have to do reps consecutively)
- 25 min time limit
- under 23 mins is awesome
- under 20 mins is the "gold" standard
Oh my goodness. This was a tough workout. I was able to get this in under 20-minutes because trust me I wanted that GOLD LEVEL award :-)
And let me tell you, I left a lot of sweat on the floor to get there...
All super fun stuff. Give this workout a go sometime this weekend (you can even tack it on to one of the 3 short workouts I sent over yesterday that I challenged you to do).
Last thing, Forest has got a great special this weekend on his NEW 33 Kettlebell Challenge workouts that you can check out below. REALLY good workouts in this manual. I'll definitely be adding 1-2 per week.
=> http://thesuperhumanlife.com/kettlebellchallenge
Alright, off to get some sprint in :-)
Enjoy the workout!

CRAZY NEW (And Old) Training Method...
I've been a long time follower of Rusty Moore, and I am sure many of you have heard his name thrown around before.
=> http://thesuperhumanlife.com/visualimpact
So meeting him, I guess you can say I was a little "star-struck." Not that Rusty would call himself a star or anything, it was just one of those times where I had followed his work for so long, and then there were we enjoying lunch together on the waters of downtown Seattle.
Anyway, Rusty and I talked about everything from travel to family to business to workouts to his cat Violet to my dog Lily.
We had a really good time to say the least.
During that 3-hour lunch we had together (yes, THREE hours of awesomeness!) Rusty told me about the workout program he had been working on for the last 6-months.
He called it Visual Impact Frequency Training (VIFT).
=> http://thesuperhumanlife.com/visualimpact
For nearly 30-minutes, I sat there soaking in everything he was saying about this unique style of training.
Unlike most training programs, VIFT avoids body part splits altogether...and has you hitting each muscle group 4-6X per week.
Typical workout routines (especially muscle building routines) have you splitting up your days like this:
Day 1: Chest, Shoulder, Triceps
Day 2: Legs, Calves, Abs
Day 3: Back, Bicep, Forearms
Or something along those lines... NOT this program.
Rusty takes a completely different approach with this one.
Rusty also explained to me some unique ways to avoid overtraining even though you are hitting each muscle 4-6 times per week.
Pretty crazy stuff. I'll let you read about that here on the sales page.
=> http://thesuperhumanlife.com/visualimpact
Now, I respect Rusty and his work VERY much.
He definitely knows what he's talking about and is one of the most caring people I've ever met.
So when he came to me and asked if I would help him spread the word on his new program, I said that I absolutely would.
I reviewed the program, tested a few of the workouts and this thing is the real deal.
Especially if you are looking to build a few pounds of lean, metabolic muscle or are simply looking to change things up a bit in your workouts.
=> http://thesuperhumanlife.com/visualimpact
Now, before you make your decision I wanted to add a few cool bonuses of my own that I found to be helpful when I was going through the workouts.
So if you decide that Visual Impact Frequency Training is right for you, you will also be receiving a free copy of the programs below:
7 Perfect Post Workout Meals: Eat one of these after each of the VIFT Workouts.
4-Minute Depletion Workouts: Pick ONE to do as a finisher after the workouts.
Bulletproof Ab Exercises: Choose 3-days a week to do 2-3 of these exercises in combination with the VIFT Workouts.
After reviewing Rusty's new program, I immediately tried to see what value I could add to the program.
I really feel these programs flow perfectly into the Visual Impact Frequency Training course.
To get all three of these goodies, just forward me your reciept and I'll send you over instant access.
Now, as you will see, this program is NOT for everyone. The workouts are serious stuff.
However, they definitely work.
