My Post-36K B-Day Workout and Weekly WODs

Yesterday, I turned 37--not quite “old man” status yet, but on the downward slope to 40.  Nonetheless, I still train hard, and I’m stronger than I was in my 20s.  In fact, on my B-Day, I did a wicked kickboxing-jumprope workout with an Army captain, and smoked it.  No doubt, it is the kettlebells and the fitness program that I practice and teach.  There are so many benefits to these.

The Big 36K B-Day Bell!

Anyways, in honor of my 36th rotation around the sun--and to prove I’m still in the game--I decided to workout with the 36K kettlebell today.  Who says that getting older means getting weaker.  Below are my WODs from the past few days and some footage and pics of a complex with the 36K, and me hitting 405 on the deads (10 x 1).  Peace!
