A very funny thing happened a couple weeks ago, I was chatting with an old friend (she's not old, but our friendship is... in fact, she's one of a few people who was originally a customer of my old jewelry biz, and who has become a friend over the years. Some of my online friendships are VERY old, in fact, my oldest maintained online friendship will "turn 20" next year.)

Video A Go Go! Two Exercise Tutorial Videos (bodyweight rows, floor wipers) and Organic Vegetable Unpacking!
VIDEO ROUND-UP!! I would have called this "Videodrome" but there's no Debbie Harry involved, and thankfully no "David Cronenberg style movie events" have taken place. Shame on me! I've had the first video (shot at Thompkins Square Park in NYC) uploaded and (accidentally) hidden on my YouTube account for WEEKS. This piece goes through a little bit of the Bodyweight Rows (aka … [Read more...] about Video A Go Go! Two Exercise Tutorial Videos (bodyweight rows, floor wipers) and Organic Vegetable Unpacking!
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

Ask GiryaGirl: 10,000 Swing Challenge Help! What do you eat for breakfast? Healthy Hot Cocoa?
This morning was a flurry of activity as you slackers finally came back to work from long holiday weekends and all decided to call, email, text, facebook, twitter, etc. Joking about the slackers part, I just wanted to poke fun at you all - since it was hard to get a few tasks going while carrying on about 6 different trains of thought/conversations. But I'm pretty ok at that … [Read more...] about Ask GiryaGirl: 10,000 Swing Challenge Help! What do you eat for breakfast? Healthy Hot Cocoa?

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). I've been gearing up for Zach Even-Esh's Underground Strength Coach workshop in Orlando, and essentially using that as an excuse to come up with more "General preparedness" workouts inspired by his book the Encyclopedia of Underground … [Read more...] about A Challenging But Oddly Stress-Relieving Workout
