After an eagle-eyed Instagram follower asked if the little hook ball items on my home pull up bar were Stronger Grip GripBalls, I remembered that I hadn't talked about them in a while and did a short video about how they can be used for a variety of grip strength and coordination challenges. In addition to the pull up variations in the video below, many people use them to pull … [Read more...] about Another Look at a Stronger Grip Favorite, An Unconventional Strength Challenge Partner Workout, and More “Tone and Drone” Antics

Outdoor, Unconventional, Kettlebell, Bodyweight, and Odd Object Training Workout!
"There's a pattern to it of course, " I said when talking about what we would be doing. Last week I realized that I've somehow reverted to childhood activities with a few of my own workouts with friends. While most of my motivation is internally generated, lately I've been having a whole lot of fun inviting fit friends to "come over and play". Sometimes I'm testing out … [Read more...] about Outdoor, Unconventional, Kettlebell, Bodyweight, and Odd Object Training Workout!

A Monkey Bar Monday WORKOUT with Video!
Those who train with me know how much I love finding a new "fit trail"! Imagine the delight in finding a fit trail AND a large open field full of mostly soft grass, but not chemically treated to the point of the local soccer fields (those make me itch and that's freaky... and scary because... chemicals!). While this requires a little "scouting" to make sure no hands end up in … [Read more...] about A Monkey Bar Monday WORKOUT with Video!

Quick Workout for Hectic Times, Kettlebells, and Battling Rope!
I'm still working on editing a fun video for you with an especially interesting circuit (there's some highly functional but silly looking parts to it, thanks to my general appearance, some kids at the park gawked at what I was doing, but were unsure if it was "safe" to openly mock me. Thanks, hairdo!) Anyway that is still in the works. Look for it this weekend, so you can try … [Read more...] about Quick Workout for Hectic Times, Kettlebells, and Battling Rope!
