Navigating a “Blog”

August 29, 2011 in BLOG 4 Comments

So, I give a series of workshops and people want more information on “this and that.” So, I tell them to go to my Blog. Some seem to manage finding everything by scrolling down the page and then going to earlier entries. Others, well…

It’s become something that I really think about. Many people have told me that my conviction of giving away things for free is actually costing me a lot of time, money and effort. There is a notion that “free” means “cheap.” Or, “Dan John’s time” is not as valuable as “My time.” Good question, really.

Here is my take: I am possessed with this idea that I owe much more than I can give. My life has been blessed by mentors, coaches, family and friends who took care of me and lead me on the right paths. How, honestly, can I ever thank Dick Notmeyer enough? Twenty-five cents a week to train 15 hours under his care…pay that back somehow. Ralph Maughan’s great math mind cut track and field to the simplest steps…so simple that it took years to believe it. I have a free education, paid for by lots of work and probably too many sacrifices.

So, I will continue to “give away” a lot. Now, that I have contractual agreements, some things will cost. But, few understand the great shoulders I stand on each and every day.

So, if you are new to my site, take your time. Click buttons. Download stuff. Read. Enjoy!

Oh, and to answer the specific question: this is the SteveO workout…

“Stevo Workout:”
I sure love my group at the Coyote Point Kettlebell Club. We trained on Thursday this week and had a lot of new people. We were going to do the “Humane Burpee” with Pull Ups, but SteveO (Steve Ledbetter) added a simple idea: “Let’s do Suitcase Carries so we can do all five human movements.” More on that in a second…

So, off we went:
10 Bulgarian Goat Bag Swings
10 Goblet Squats
10 Push Up
Suitcase Carry Left Hand to Pull Up Bar
One Pull Up (Trust me on this!)
Suitcase Carry Right Hand back to Swing area.

Now, you can do this 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 fashion or a bunch of sets of Five…it doesn’t matter. It steams you up, gets the heart beating and works on a lot of things. What it REALLY works on is your abs at they don’t even have a chance to catch up.

So, I think we called it “The SteveO Segue Super Sircuit of Sweetness” or something like that.
