Want to try a brutally fun kettlebell workout that’ll challenge your conditioning, strength and grit—all in under 20 minutes?

Here’s a free sample from my newly updated 82 Kettlebell Boot Camp Workouts Power Pack:

And that’s just one of 82 ready-to-go workouts I’ve included in the full program.

I originally created this resource as part of my Strength Coach Business Course, which was designed to help motivated trainers build a full-time income from coaching—both in person and online.

Today, even though most of the 45,000+ people on this email list aren’t coaches, I know they still want effective, no-BS kettlebell workouts they can use immediately.

So here’s what I’ve done:I’ve pulled one of the best resources from that original business course—the 82 Kettlebell Boot Camp Workouts Power Pack—refreshed with what’s working best in my workouts and coaching today—and I’m making it available to everyone.

And as a bonus, I’ve also decided to include the full Strength Coach Business Course—which originally sold for $200—for free when you grab the Power Pack.

Now just in full transparency, I’m not getting back into business coaching anytime soon. I’ve MORE than got my hands full with my current business interests and personal life. But after reviewing this course I made 10 years ago, I realized 98% of it still holds up—and I’ve added a few small updates based on what’s working best today.

If you’ve ever thought about training people on the side—or even going full-time—this bonus alone could be a game-changer.

Want to see your abs sooner? Whether your goal is a six pack or just a lean, flat midsection, here’s the secret: Build up your abs. Most people focus on diet—and yes, nutrition is important for losing body fat. But developing the muscles of your core will help you see definition faster—even if you’re not super shredded yet. A top fitness model once said it like this: “One of the best parts about building up your ab muscles is that they become visible through a higher body fat percentage. Guys with strong abs can often see them at 12–13% body fat. Women can start seeing theirs around 14–16%. But if your abs are small and weak? You might need to get to 10% (or lower) just to see a faint outline.” That’s why I created my KBs for Abs https://forestvance.lpages.co/kettlebell-abocalypse-2025/ programs – to help guys and gals over 40 get stronger, more defined cores in 20 minutes a day, using the power of kettlebell training. The launch deal has ended—but you can still get all 3 abs programs for a steep discount if you act soon.

I’ve dropped close to 70 lbs since then, and stayed strong—but never really leaned out. That changed when I made fat loss a focus, and started dialing in a system that combined kettlebells, mobility, and smarter nutrition. ​ Check out my latest progress pics on the page HERE. https://forestvance.lpages.co/kettlebell-abocalypse-2025/ Pic on the left: ~310 lbs, low-20s body fat. Pic on the right: ~235 lbs, ~12-13% body fat. One of the things that helped the most?

Most Ageless Warriors aren’t trying to get stage-ready shredded.

But you do want to drop the love handles.

You want a flat, defined midsection.

You want to look solid in a T-shirt and feel confident when you take it off.

You want to be strong, athletic, and built like someone who trains with purpose.

And here’s the truth:

You don’t need to get to 6% body fat to make that happen.

In fact, you’re probably closer than you think.

What most guys are missing is how they train their core.

They’re doing endless crunches, sit-ups, and random circuits… but never actually challenging their abs the way they would with any other muscle group.

The real key? You train your abs like you train everything else.

Progressive overload.
Multiple planes of motion.
Actual resistance.

Here’s how I figured it out…

I spent over a decade as a 300+ pound offensive lineman. Strong as hell. In shape—just not lean.

Later, I lost 60+ pounds. I wasn’t ripped, but I felt great, looked athletic, and could move like an athlete again.

Then for my 40th birthday, I took it a step further. Cleaned up my diet, trained consistently, and yes—I got visible abs.

But I wasn’t 6% body fat. More like 10-12%.

The bigger takeaway? I felt strong, looked fit, and could wear anything with confidence.

And it wasn’t because I did more cardio.

It was because I started training my core like I meant it.

Here’s a sample abs workout to show what I mean:

Complete 3 rounds of the following:

1. Turkish Get-Up – 1 per side
   One of the best moves for total-body core strength, especially external obliques
2. Single / Double KB Good Morning – 10
   Hits the posterior chain—glutes, hamstrings, spinal erectors
3. Tall Kneeling KB Halo – 8 reps each direction
   Go as heavy as you can with good form! – hammers internal obliques / deep core stabilizers
4. Hanging OR Lying Leg Raise – 10
   Targets the rectus abdominis

This kind of training shapes your midsection, strengthens your core for lifting and life, and—paired with moderate fat loss—helps you build a flat, strong, functional core.

Check out my Kettlebells for Abs program—it’s designed to help guys over 40 build real core strength without endless cardio or crash diets -> https://forestvance.lpages.co/kettlebell-abocalypse-2025/

P.S. Someone always asks, “Won’t training abs with resistance make your waist bigger?”

Unless you’re prepping for a bodybuilding show, no.

If you’re carrying belly fat, what you need is to lose body fat—and that’s where the right training and nutrition plan come together.

I include both in my programs.

You can build a lean, strong, functional midsection—without starving yourself or chasing six-pack perfection.

You just need the right plan—and a little consistency.

I was talking to a client the other day who said their #1 “problem area” was their midsection.

They’d tried core workouts. Diet tweaks. Random ab circuits.

But nothing was moving the needle.

I told them something most people haven’t tried: a kettlebell-based abs specialization plan—a full 28-day cycle where every session is designed to carve your core and tighten your midsection.

Not a few crunches at the end of your workout.
Not another random fat-burning circuit.

This is a dedicated approach that works your abs from every angle using the power of kettlebell training—and it’s the foundation of our 3-for-1 KBs for Abs Summer Shred Special, happening now.

Try This: “Rippers” – KBs for Abs Sample Workout

What if you could get a killer cardio session without ever stepping foot on a treadmill or pounding your joints on a run?

That’s exactly what this extreme kettlebell cardio conditioning workout delivers. It’s short, efficient, and gets the job done in just 12 minutes.

This one’s an every-minute-on-the-minute (EMOM) format with an ascending ladder structure. All you need is a single kettlebell, a timer, and a little space to move.

Here’s how it works:

Set your timer for 12 minutes. It should go off every minute on the minute.

Minute 1: Do 5 kettlebell presses on the right, 5 kettlebell presses on the left. Rest the remainder.
Minute 2: Do 10 goblet squats. Rest the remainder.
Minute 3: Do 15 push-ups (from the knees or toes—clean reps). Rest the remainder.
Minute 4: Do 20 kettlebell swings. Rest.

Then repeat the full cycle three times.

And that’s it.

This is a great workout if you want to crank up your cardio, train your whole body, and do it in under 15 minutes. The whole thing takes just 12 minutes, plus a quick joint mobility or dynamic warm-up beforehand, and some light stretching afterward.

You’ll hit everything you need in one go—strength for your major muscle groups, core activation, flexibility and mobility from moving with the kettlebell, and of course, extreme cardio conditioning without the impact.

It’s short. It’s intense. It’s efficient. It’s the kind of training we focus on in the 28-Day Extreme Kettlebell Cardio Conditioning Challenge—and this is just a sample of what that looks like.

PS – In a perfect world, I would love to have 90 minutes, seven days a week, to do some kind of workout or activity. I would love to take several of those days and do lifting. I would love to do a couple of those days and do a long walk or ruck or possibly jog. I would love to take a couple long, leisurely yoga classes a week.

And 20–25 years ago, that was probably possible.

Now, in my current phase of life?

Number one—it would never happen. I do not have the time for it.

And number two—my body probably couldn’t take it, depending on what I was doing. It would be a lot to recover from.

So the reality is, nowadays I probably have anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes a day. There are days where I might only have 15 to 30 minutes.

So whether you’re short on time, trying to take it easier on your body, or just want to get cardio without beating up your joints—

The extreme kettlebell cardio conditioning approach is exactly what I use, and what I recommend.

That’s exactly what you’ll get in my Kettlebell Cardio Conditioning program – new and updated for 2025:
