Hey hey hey!!!

It’s hard to believe another year is coming to an end. So much happened in 2015, but it all seems to have gone by so quickly…

The year began with the debut of my latest critically acclaimed book, Zen Mind, Strong Body. Then came the highly-anticipated release of Paul Wade’s Explosive Calisthenics, which I had the honor of appearing in as a featured model.

And just last month, my brother Danny Kavadlo’s fantastic new book Strength Rules, which I modeled for as well, debuted at #1 on Amazon’s top Exercise and Fitness downloads.

What’s next, you ask? The first official Kavadlo Brothers collaboration!

Danny and I are putting the finishing touches on a new book tentatively entitled Street Workout Worldwide, scheduled for release next spring.

The Progressive Calisthenics Certification continued its growth in 2015 as well. Danny and I traveled all over the US and Europe this year to bring the PCC to new places like California, Norway and the UK.

In addition to reaching new markets, many of the cities that had previously hosted PCC, like Holland and my hometown of NYC, saw even larger attendance than at last year’s events.

Look for more PCC workshops all over the world in 2016!

I also launched a 1-day bodyweight certification with Dragon Door called the Strength Calisthenics Certification, which made it’s debut last month. Look for more SCC workshops in the US and Europe in the months ahead!

My media profile keeps growing as well. My column in TRAIN magazine continues to be seen by hundreds of thousands of people every month and my articles on Bodybuilding.com have been getting a lot of attention. I was also featured in the New York Post and on the television show Chasing News this year.

2015 was a big year in my personal life, too!

In August I married my sweetheart, Grace Menendez (now Grace Kavadlo). I never thought I would meet a woman who loves calisthenics as much as I do! Connecting with Grace has been the most amazing thing to happen in my entire life. To say I feel lucky to call her my wife is a tremendous understatement.

In addition to my workshops and new book, be on the lookout for the first official Al Kavadlo – We’re Working Out! app for iPhone and Android to be released early 2016.

Make sure you follow me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to stay up to date with all the latest news.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey. It’s been a pleasure to connect with all of you. I wish you all a happy, healthy holiday season!
