Dragon Door Neuro-Grips v2.0
I've been a huge fan of Neuro-Grips ever since encountering them on the photoshoot for Jon Bruney's Neuro-Mass. While versions of these have existed for some time out there in the world, until now people have usually had to make them or have a welder friend construct them. Now you can simply buy them from Dragon Door. The new ones are made of steel and are improved in many … [Read more...] about Dragon Door Neuro-Grips v2.0
Monkey Bar Monday and Outdoor Flow State Fun with Slacklining
Happy #MonkeyBarMonday everyone! For some of you who have seen the preview on Instagram, here's the whole thing... including the "spiders" obstacle. While I am not in the least bit afraid of spiders (and at one point had about seven pet tarantulas) I am not about to just shove my hand through a spiderweb with the spider sitting in it looking right at me. … [Read more...] about Monkey Bar Monday and Outdoor Flow State Fun with Slacklining
The Weekend Food Roll… Small Household Food Strategy Example
First off, in case it is not completely obvious, I really enjoy and am grateful for what I get to eat. I am also very grateful to have as few compromises as possible to deal with when buying, selecting, and preparing meals.

Video Time! Tips for Kettlebell Cleans, Presses, Snatches, and a Circuit I Did in the Driveway
Those of you who are already subscribed to the GiryaGirlTV Youtube channel may have already seen these videos when I uploaded them a few days ago... However, a little more explanation might be useful too. In a hyperscripted, photoshopped, over-produced world (and with my self-imposed "ambitious" workschedule) it can be fun to just knock out a video off the cuff. So, let me … [Read more...] about Video Time! Tips for Kettlebell Cleans, Presses, Snatches, and a Circuit I Did in the Driveway
New Podcast! Adrienne and Co-Host Dr. Chad Eldridge Discuss Two VERY Cool Recent Events! Get the Scoop!
It's been a BLAST to add Dr. Chad Eldridge as the official Co-Host of the GiryaGirl.com Podcast (at least that's how it will be until we can come up with a new name/platform etc. for it.) This episode is a little shorter, but packed with info as both of us attended different, but extremely cool events last weekend. I set a timer during the recording (it's silent, thankfully) … [Read more...] about New Podcast! Adrienne and Co-Host Dr. Chad Eldridge Discuss Two VERY Cool Recent Events! Get the Scoop!
A Short But Fun Underground Strength Inspired Exercise Break… After an Adventure!
It's been an interesting weekend... getting a lot done, maybe a little too much because as the sun started to go down today I found myself wanting to go outside and play for lack of a better term. Some may refer to this as a "workout" but considering what I did and how fun it was I think it was more like a slightly more grown up version of playing in the yard. Unfortunately, … [Read more...] about A Short But Fun Underground Strength Inspired Exercise Break… After an Adventure!
