My name is Forest Vance, and I want to tell you something most fitness guys won't admit.

I spent years building serious strength with kettlebells and barbells. I was coaching. I was training hard. I looked like I knew what I was doing.

But my conditioning? My body fat?

Not where I wanted it.

And I kept doing what most lifters do — adding more. More workout days. More sessions. More volume.

It wasn't working. And I was getting beat up.

Then I went through my steel mace certification and started experimenting with something I now call Mace Burns — short, 3–5 minute sequences bolted onto the end of existing workouts.

Within weeks my conditioning improved. My body started leaning out. My shoulders felt better. And I wasn't adding a single extra workout day.

I've since used this system with hundreds of clients at my studio in Lee's Summit, Missouri — and I put together a full 28-day challenge around it.

Are you lifting 3–4 days a week consistently, but your body isn't changing the way you think it should?
Do you know you should be doing more conditioning work — but running kills your knees, HIIT leaves you wrecked, and you just can't bring yourself to get on a cardio machine?
Have you tried adding more workout days, only to end up burned out or beat up?
Do you lay awake wondering why the scale isn't moving even though you're putting in the work?
Are you just looking for a done-for-you system you can plug into your existing training and finally start seeing results?

If you answered yes to any of that, keep reading.

Here's the truth most trainers won't say out loud.

Strength training alone won't get you lean. You know this.

But the standard solutions — long cardio sessions, brutal HIIT circuits, extra workout days — are either boring, joint-wrecking, or completely unrealistic for someone with a life.

So what happens?

You skip the conditioning work. Every week. For months.

And your body holds onto that last layer of fat no matter how hard you lift.

The frustrating part? It's not a willpower problem. It's not a discipline problem.

It's a format problem.

You've been trying to force conditioning into formats that don't fit your training or your life.

What if you could torch fat, build work capacity, and finally get your conditioning in — in just 5 minutes at the end of your existing workouts?

No extra days. No running. No soul-crushing cardio machines.

That's exactly what the 28-Day Mace Burn Challenge delivers.

A Mace Burn is a short, focused 3–5 minute steel mace sequence you tack onto the end of whatever you're already doing. Kettlebell day. Barbell day. Bodyweight day. Doesn't matter.

The steel mace — with its offset weight and unique leverage — forces your entire body to work at once. Core. Shoulders. Grip. Hips. All firing together in flowing, athletic movements that spike your heart rate without pounding your joints.

It feels like athleticism. Not cardio.

And 5 minutes is all it takes to make a real dent.

This is a structured, progressive 28-day system built around short steel mace burns designed to finally get your conditioning in — without adding extra workout days or giving up your existing training.

Here's how it works:

You get 6 burns per week — 2 upper body focused, 2 lower body focused, 2 core focused.

Each one runs 3–5 minutes.

You tack them onto the end of your existing workouts. That's it.

But here's where it gets flexible:

Got more time or want a complete program? Double the length and combine upper + core or lower + core. Now you've got a full 20–25 minute standalone workout. Three of those per week and you've got a complete training program.

Short on time? Just do the 5-minute burn and walk out. Still counts. Still works.

Same content. Two ways to use it. You choose.

OBJECTIONS ANSWERED

Q: What is a Mace Burn?

A: A short 3–5 minute steel mace sequence performed at the end of your existing workout. Think of it as a mini conditioning session that bolts onto whatever you're already doing — no extra gym days required.

Q: I don't own a steel mace. Do I need one?

A: A quality steel mace runs $30–$60 on Amazon. Start with a 7 lb or 10 lb. You can even use a broomstick or PVC pipe to learn the patterns while yours ships.

Q: Will I lose strength doing this?

A: Most people report the opposite. The offset loading strengthens your grip, core, and shoulders. Your lifts tend to feel better, not worse.

Q: Is this just cardio?

A: No. The mace forces your core and shoulders to stabilize constantly, so you're building rotational strength and conditioning simultaneously. It's athletic training — not just sweating.

Q: Do I have to give up my kettlebell training?

A: Absolutely not. This is designed to complement whatever you're already doing. Kettlebells and steel mace pair perfectly — that's why the 10x10 Kettlebell Solution is included as a bonus.

Q: What if I'm a complete beginner with steel mace?

A: Perfect. This challenge is built as an entry point. Progressions start simple and build over 28 days. By the end you'll have enough reps under your belt that the tool feels natural.

Q: How long are the workouts?

A: The burns themselves are 3–5 minutes. If you want to use them as standalone workouts by doubling up, expect 20–25 minutes.

Q: I'm over 50. Is this appropriate for me?

A: Yes. The programming is recovery-minded and joint-friendly. Steel mace is actually ideal for lifters over 50 because of the flowing, low-impact nature of the movements.

P.S. — You're getting the full 28-Day Mace Burn Challenge, follow-along video coaching, the flexible workout builder, the 10x10 Kettlebell Solution, Fire Breather conditioning plan, and the 14-Day Steel Mace Vinyasa Challenge — all for $29.
