I’m currently working to complete a 6 month course in Deep Learning/A.I. in 4. Why am I trying to get it done so fast? Probably because I’m not very patient.

They’re all good for keeping your heart healthy and increasing your endurance. But they aren’t the only way to go. Full body kettlebell cardio workouts are another alternative that […]
I’ve seen first-hand how kettlebell training can build a leaner, stronger body. When I started doing kettlebell workouts I weighed 260 lbs, was morbidly obese and got tired tying my shoes. Long gone were the days of my being in great shape at 12% body fat and squatting 8 plates (405 pounds). I hadn’t exercised […]
