Beast Mode BBQ Chicken and Veggie Power Skewers

Back in my NFL days with the Green Bay Packers and Kansas City Chiefs, intense training sessions were a daily routine. 

After pushing my body to the limit, I craved meals that were not only delicious, but also fueled my performance. 

This Beast Mode BBQ Chicken and Veggie Power Skewers recipe is a go-to favorite for summer barbecues, bringing together bold flavors and lean proteins to keep you in top shape. 

Easy to make, bursting with smoky BBQ goodness, and perfect for grilling warriors who are all about staying strong and lean—just like the KB workouts I share with my clients!

-Forest

Ingredients:
For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 lemons (juiced)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste


For the Veggie Skewers:

  • 1 red bell pepper (cut into chunks)
  • 1 zucchini (sliced)
  • 1 red onion (cut into chunks)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Preparation Time:
  • 15 minutes (plus 30 minutes for marinating)

Cooking Time:

  • 20 minutes

Servings:

  • 4

Instructions:

  1. Marinate the Chicken:
    • In a large bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
    • Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade.
    • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Veggie Skewers:
    • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
    • In a large bowl, toss the red bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
    • Thread the veggies onto skewers.
  3. Grill the Chicken:
    • Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off.
    • Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
    • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  4. Grill the Veggie Skewers:
    • Place the veggie skewers on the grill and cook for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
  5. Serve:
    • Serve the grilled chicken breasts with the veggie skewers on the side.

the Kettlebell Arm Bar

On July 20th, I’ll be leading a Kettlebell REGENERATE class for lifters and athletes. This session is all about using kettlebells and bodyweight exercises to not only get a great full-body workout but also to help you recover faster, reduce pain, improve mobility, and feel great.

One of the first exercises I recommend for improving shoulder mobility and stability is the kettlebell arm bar. It is great for:

  • Opening up the rib cage
  • Opening up the thoracic spine
  • Loosening up the pecs
  • Loosening up the fascial line between the pecs and the opposite hip
  • Keeping your shoulders feeling great!

HOW TO DO IT

  1. Start Position:
    • Lie on the ground with the kettlebell at your side, at shoulder level, in what we call the “cradle” position (similar to the start of a Turkish get-up).
  2. Pull and Roll:
    • Pull the kettlebell to your body, roll to your back, and extend the working arm to lock out (ensure to pack the shoulder back and down for stability).
  3. Leg and Hip Movement:
    • Take the same leg as your working arm and drive it over the top of your body. Drive that hip towards the ground while bringing the working shoulder towards the ground.
  4. Breathing:
    • Breathe in and then exhale, driving the hip and shoulder towards the ground a little more each time. Do this three to five times progressively.

Be sure to watch the video that shows how to do this exercise too: https://youtu.be/yaIIUuWmWSQ?si=xPsHIpvTxyj8Kl5t

Why You Should Stop Doing HIIT (in large doses) If You’re Over 40

Though HIIT-style training is popular, in large doses, it’s probably NOT the best approach for those over 40.

I understand the appeal of getting your heart rate up and sweating through a full 45-minute workout. However, for most people, these types of workouts stop being effective around age 35. To reach our fat loss goals, we really need more of:

  • Intelligent strength work
  • Mobility, flexibility, and better movement
  • Cardio to train our heart, but at a reasonable and moderate intensity most of the time
  • Focused nutrition

I’ll share more insights in the weeks and months ahead, but that’s a big takeaway for now. At our new location, we’re exclusively focused on the 40+ demographic to ensure our programs meet your specific needs.
