After mentioning Space Girl Organics to a new friend on a recently flight, I was inspired to make a new (and somewhat better lit) unboxing video for today's "standard vegetable fresh" delivery. I mean... I had to unpack it to put it all in the fridge anyway, right? So Karen I hope you enjoy this (or have time to watch) but here are the goodies I received today! (And how … [Read more...] about Unboxing This Week’s Delivery from Space Girl Organics! [VIDEO]

Strategy Wednesday: A Visit to the Floatation Tanks…
[Warning, this is not a normal post about exercise or food. It gets a little weird and silly in places, so if you don't feel like reading it, no hard feelings, there will be more talk about exercise and food coming later in the week.] Whenever possible, I try to take at least a small part of each Wednesday (at least an hour, hopefully much more) for redirection, goal setting, … [Read more...] about Strategy Wednesday: A Visit to the Floatation Tanks…
Ask GiryaGirl: YOUR Questions About Push Ups, Flags, Neuro-Grips, Hip Hinges, Youngevity?
Been meaning to compile some of these for a while. A number of regular readers of this site send really good questions via email and they are usually things that others will want to know too. This is just barely scratching the surface, but here we go! Q: Is it better to do push ups from kettlebell handles or should I just do regular ones? A: I wouldn’t say “better” … [Read more...] about Ask GiryaGirl: YOUR Questions About Push Ups, Flags, Neuro-Grips, Hip Hinges, Youngevity?
The Extreme Value of Delicious Delivered Organic Fruits and Vegetables With Unpacking VIDEO!
My main arguments against planning out meals too far in advance, or buying meal plans from others are: I change my mind a lot, and my best meals (that result in shared recipes) are nearly spontaneous. Don't tell ME what to eat. I often take advantage of seasonal (read "on sale") organic foods. While I can certainly see the value in diet-specific or contest prep … [Read more...] about The Extreme Value of Delicious Delivered Organic Fruits and Vegetables With Unpacking VIDEO!
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

The World is Watching You
Maybe you're a fitness instructor, maybe you participate in recreational sports, or maybe you're simply taking an active role in your own health and fitness. This makes you fairly unique these days, and most likely that will make you stand out within a given peer group. Interestingly, many times the people who are just starting to make healthy changes to their lives are under … [Read more...] about The World is Watching You
Some Big Lessons From a Smaller Workshop–Hanging with Zach Even Esh in NJ
Decided to get out of town and have some fun, so I very recently (as in this past Saturday) met up with Amber of GiryaScope.com in Somerville, MA (Boston area) and trekked down to New Jersey to help her photograph/video one of Zach's 4 hour workshops at his decidedly underground gym. What a fun place he has--it was about the size of the warehouse I used to have for my … [Read more...] about Some Big Lessons From a Smaller Workshop–Hanging with Zach Even Esh in NJ
The Great Outdoors… A Stacking Workout Circuit
Should issue a warning to my friends/workout partners and small group whenever I start reading about things like SEALFIT or am in the early chapters of Lone Survivor and learning all about what those guys go through in Indoc and BUD/S etc. It warps my own sensibility in terms of "difficulty" when I push myself through a challenge. Now, there's this terrible little voice in … [Read more...] about The Great Outdoors… A Stacking Workout Circuit
A Profound Story of Transformation with Kettlebells
Recently I had the honor of interviewing fellow Floridian, Susan Sloan. She's now celebrating her 1 year anniversary as an RKC instructor, and considering the journey she's had to get there, this is even more significant an accomplishment than usual (it's not something just anyone can do, and the odds she has overcome make it even more impressive.) I'll save the details for … [Read more...] about A Profound Story of Transformation with Kettlebells
