It's no secret that I'm nuts about Dragon Door kettlebells... and really can't wait to get my hands on one of these bonkers-level heavy new 60kg ones... while I normally hover around that weight, I was super amused to wake up and find that I was 132 right on the dot today. I don't weigh myself too often, so this was an amusing treat for sure. As a kind of joke I decided to … [Read more...] about GiryaGirl vs The Monster

Reflections on a 21 Day Challenge and the Concept of Self Discipline
Another friend on Facebook started a neat "21 Day Challenge" a little while ago. The basic premise being 21 goals in 21 days - and... they don't all have to be large goals, they should be all sizes and all themes - but things which can realistically be accomplished in the 21 days. Needless to say I got in on this immediately, as I had been making some itemized (don't ask...) … [Read more...] about Reflections on a 21 Day Challenge and the Concept of Self Discipline
A Challenging But Oddly Stress-Relieving Workout
This fun challenge I wrote up for a friend and I became a neat strength endurance challenge of the "accidental cardio" variety (in places).

Happy Monkey Bar Monday! A Video and More Exciting News…
After having put in a whole heck of a lot of hours these past few weeks on various projects (for others mostly... you may have noticed the blog posts here have been a little few and far between... sorry about that) it was time to GET OUTSIDE before it gets annoyingly hot here in Florida.

Hawaii, Motivation, Priorities, American Ninja Warrior… [with videos]
Hawaii Adventure, or how I ended up doing pull ups right next to the Pacific Ocean... Those of you on Instagram already know some of what's in this post, but I wanted to kind of fill in the details here and there. In recent years I've gotten into a travel habit, so much so that if I have to stick around in one place too long I get a little annoyed. Granted the constant … [Read more...] about Hawaii, Motivation, Priorities, American Ninja Warrior… [with videos]
Ask GiryaGirl: Thanksgiving, Anywhere Workouts… and a Few Random Ones…
While Thanksgiving is tomorrow, some of this Q+A may be a little on the "late" side but maybe not! Q: What are you cooking or sharing for Thanksgiving?

Hanging with the Kavadlo Brothers
After a recent PCC Workshop, when I was helping Al and Danny take some of their fun pictures around downtown Minneapolis, they mentioned working on a new book and collecting photos for it, and asked if I could come up at some point soon for a few. We talked about some tentative dates etc and of course in my head, I was already setting things in order to make it happen. If … [Read more...] about Hanging with the Kavadlo Brothers
