The Best Exercise and Workout Music: Mixes and Playlists for your Fitness Routines

Over on Hub Pages (again) you'll find my most recent exercise, fitness and training rambling called (as the title puts it) "The Best Exercise and Workout Music: Mixes and Playlists for your Fitness Routines "

I know there will be some differences of opinion as to the selections but for me that's ok because hopefully this will spur a grand discussion as to what the best training music is and what genera of music goes best with what type of training.

Feel free to take a look at the Hub and chime in over there!

Pura Vida Kettlebells Hubs Abound!

Also been writing on Hub Pages.  Here are my last 4.  On Hub Pages, I cover a wide range of topics including Kettlebell Training, but also touch on Sales and Selling (if you run your own business, this might be of interest to you) and I also am promoting my book, How To Stop Smoking Without Killing Anyone with a series of Hubs about smoking or not smoking.  There is, as always a article or two (or 3 or 40) dedicated to the spiritual side of things.  Not necessarily religious, just an expansion of the warrior spirit and more often than not it's connection to strength training.  All in all, interesting reading can be had by all.

Now if you've ever though about writing for yourself and are considering an additional venue to express your thoughts, ideas and market yourself a little, Hub Pages is a great place to do that.

Pipes and Cogs

Saw this video called Pipes and Cogs on Facebook courtesy of Ken Froese, RKC II.  Needless to say I am jealous of these young men as this to me is how a gym should look and function.  Finding a spot like this in Los Angeles would probably indicate the Second Coming.  Bally's, L.A. Fitness, 24 Hour, Crunch, Equinox...  forget about it.  Give me a retired bomb shelter, some welding equipment and a few Kettlebells and I'm a happy man.  Old School strength, passion and grit.  This video is beautiful.

What's Your Excuse?

Inspiration and humility all in 6 minutes and 10 seconds!  A buddy from High School posted this video on Facebook last night.  As it turned out, I too went to High School with this gentleman.  What was most moving for me was that when I was in High School, somehow, this concept of "do it anyway" or "push your limits" and "blast through your alleged limitations..."   Somehow, I just didn't get it.  At least not like I do now.  Perhaps I wasn't ready for that wisdom.  This video showed up today to remind me that any limit I put on myself is just that.  A limit of my own design and making and certainly not an excuse.  I'm going to go do some snatches now.
