This June, from 6/20 - 6/25, will be the second annual Fitness Professionals Online Summit.
You can sign up for it here:
Fitness Professionals Online Summit
I signed up last year, and although I wasn't able to see all of the presentations, I saw many of them. They were interesting and useful. It was more useful than some paid seminars I attended, as well.
Although it is aimed at fitness professionals, there might be a seminar or two useful to non-fitness professionals, too.
Getting stronger, fitter, and healthier by sticking to the basics. It's not rocket science, it's doing the simple stuff the right way. Strength-Basics updates every Monday, plus extra posts during the week.

Review: F*** Calories
Free is my favorite price point. It's even better when it's free and good.
F*** Calories is an ebook by Krista Scott-Dixon about, you guessed it, diet.
The ebook is available free (in return for your email address, of course) from Stumptuous.com
The book is free, and short, and very direct, as the title makes pretty clear.
The idea is pretty simple - eat real food. Pay attention to how you feel after you eat that food. Don't worry about calories, just eat off a smaller plate if you want to be smaller, a big plate if you want to be bigger. Skip the sugar and supplements and vitamins and just get back in touch with how you feel after you eat. Adjust according if things aren't working for you.
It's a good starter piece on diet - for people confused by the whole mass of "do this, not that" it goes right to "start here and do what works." It's refreshingly direct, and it's written by someone with a professional track record of success helping people lose fat - even if she says you don't need someone to do that.
It's good, it's free, and the advice is solid. It is a great tonic to take before reading a diet book or choosing an eating approach. Well worth the (quick) read.

Free Kettlebell Course
Well, free with registration, etc.:
There is a free one-hour kettlebell course being offered at the RKC Instructors Certification in Downington Pennsylvannia.
Since I work on days ending in "y" I won't be attending but perhaps some of you might want to check it out.

Free Stuff
If you aren't on the Elite FTS mailing list yet, you should join now.
Besides the usual deals, sales, and so on, they also give away the occasional e-book, like the one they are giving away right now.
Elite FTS Mailing List
It's not a spammy list, although you will get a notice for every sale. It's not a newsletter but the gems like this big ebook are worth the price of admission ("free.")

Diet Freebie
Dr. John Berardi, author of the Seven Basic Habits, has a freebie PDF up for his Precision Nutrition System.
The whole system is like $97+shipping, but this book is free. While the information is pretty basic, it's sound and it's got a lot to recommend it.
Precision Nutrition Strategies
You may have to join their free forums to access this, but both the forums and the book are free.

Online books
Some old, out-of-print training books are now available online.
If you look at www.scribd.com, you can find "electronic paper" books for free.
Here is Brooks Kubik's Dinosaur Training, and here is the (outdated but not obsolete) first edition of Starting Strength.
