So, I have a weird habit of taking on (or creating) a smaller project to break up a larger project. It means I basically do "work" as a "break" and is part of the reason I get a lot of various things done in a small amount of time. Many years ago I discovered that I don't so much need or want a "break", it's more that I need a change of subject. A mental flavor changer...* One … [Read more...] about A Mind Bender Workout for Cardio, Strength, Power, and Grit

Competitive Circuit Workout for Monkey Bars, Bodyweight Exercise, and Sprints
I've enjoyed variations of this little combo for a couple of years, it's always a lot of fun and can even feel a little bit like a game. Most recently a friend and I did the workout for 10 rounds followed by a more focused strength workout. If you have a group, you can even perform this as an interesting relay race. No matter how many rounds you choose, be sure to record the … [Read more...] about Competitive Circuit Workout for Monkey Bars, Bodyweight Exercise, and Sprints
Last Second Cyber Monday Gift Set Advice!
Noticed that some of you are putting together some very smart combinations of kettlebells, but not everyone may understand the same gift-giving logic.

How to Workout with Kettlebells and Do Laundry at the Same Time
The following situation has the potential to cause the following: a fast, challenging workout and a clean load of laundry (I'd recommend putting at least one towel in there so you have a warm fluffy towel for a post workout shower). I really hate chores, but I like to workout... and both need to be done regularly... here's an example of how both can get done at the same … [Read more...] about How to Workout with Kettlebells and Do Laundry at the Same Time
Quick Kettlebell Workout, How to Assemble the Dragon Door Bodyweight Master Pull Up Bar, and More Exercise Ideas
Realized that I should probably space out the podcasts for you! There's two more episodes on the way soon, but in the mean time, I wanted to share a short workout (or what could be the meat and potatoes part of a session) I did last night. I had limited time because of a bunch of computer related tasks and more importantly a friend was coming over to walk her puppies … [Read more...] about Quick Kettlebell Workout, How to Assemble the Dragon Door Bodyweight Master Pull Up Bar, and More Exercise Ideas

Hurrah! I was a guest on the Hammer Shed Podcast recently, and it looks like the page updated today!

(Belated) Podcast with Logan Christopher Author of Mental Muscle and Owner of Lost Empire Herbs
Embarrassed that it's taken me this long to finally get this podcast live, because it's just such a fun one! Logan Christopher and I had both presented at the 2nd annual Dragon Door Health and Strength Conference this past summer and had a lot to catch up about. Topics covered include nootropics, herbal supplements, some very wild adventures that Logan had in the Amazon while … [Read more...] about (Belated) Podcast with Logan Christopher Author of Mental Muscle and Owner of Lost Empire Herbs
Beginner’s Mind in All Things… a Workout and Notes from the Orlando Maker Faire
First off, I'm very happy with the decision to "finally get around to" ordering that 10kg kettlebell. GiryaGirlHQ now has doubles in 10lb, 8kg, 10kg, 12kg, 14kg, 16kg, 18kg, 20kg, 24kg, etc. Many of my very strong women clients and workout partners have been wanting access to the pair of 10kg, and they are just a great all-around size to work with. For advanced people, they can … [Read more...] about Beginner’s Mind in All Things… a Workout and Notes from the Orlando Maker Faire
Strategy Wednesday – Workout Wednesday…
A "Strategy Wednesday" has been long overdue, so I've blocked out a few hours today for it. Basically it's a reassessment of what's going on, what I can do better, and often what I can drop or discontinue. And... this applies to my lifestyle as a whole, not just business or entrepreneur stuff... but also fitness and food. Much to the annoyance of some, I see all of this as … [Read more...] about Strategy Wednesday – Workout Wednesday…
