It's probably not a big secret anymore that I love a good descending pull up ladder, and after a particularly long day thinking too hard at work, I knew I was barely in the mood to come up with something especially complex to do. Fortunately this workout seemingly happened by accident! This is NOT a complete full-body (at least not equally) workout like you're used to reading … [Read more...] about Minimalist Track Workout: Walking and Pullups

Half and Half Part Two: A Kettlebell and Calisthenics Double Circuit Challenge
Somewhat against my better judgement, I've joined a gym. The weather is getting hot, "summer is coming" (no, I don't care about preparing to strut around on the beach, I just really hate hot weather). And the mosquitos are likely waiting for the earliest possible moment to start coverings me in welts. So, this year I am planning ahead with alternative workout locations that … [Read more...] about Half and Half Part Two: A Kettlebell and Calisthenics Double Circuit Challenge
A New Spin on an I-Go You-Go Kettlebell Workout Challenge!
It happens to the best of us, but recently, my workout partner and I realized that we'd kind of gotten into a rut. Both of us had been managing a particularly high level of stress, so we weren't going to be hard on ourselves about it. In the bigger picture the fact that we'd kept going was the important part, but it was time to mix things up and revisit some of our favorite … [Read more...] about A New Spin on an I-Go You-Go Kettlebell Workout Challenge!

Weird Weekend Challenge Workout
The schedule has been over the top lately, but that's no excuse. So, I've made a few changes to my routine. If I've gotten enough rest (which has become a bigger priority), I'd do at least one, and sometimes two *nearly* all-out sessions. Since I was in Detroit early this week (where we somehow managed to walk between 6-7 miles each day), I had to make sure this workout was a … [Read more...] about Weird Weekend Challenge Workout
Product Review: Click and Grow Smart Garden 27
First, please understand that I have been enjoying Click and Grow Smart Gardens for now a little over two years! In that time, I've managed to grow all of the fresh herbs and most of my own salad greens. As we all know, there's this phenomenon when buying cilantro and other delicate fresh herbs - we use as much as the dish(es) call for and then the rest of it magically turns … [Read more...] about Product Review: Click and Grow Smart Garden 27
