Q: What were you guys doing in the park that day? At first I thought it was maybe yoga or tai chi or tumbling crossed with field day. Then, you were all laughing too. What's going on?! A: It's a new program called Primal Move - check it out: ....Read MORE!

Stronger Grip Loadable Mace Product Review
Here's a very informal little video I just made today with 2 of my favorite SUPER BASIC mace exercises. For size reference, I'm 5'3" We love the Stronger Grip loadable mace "core club" with a 6" globe - the amount of fun it adds to our group circuits can't be denied. The first time I saw these maces was at the Super Human Training workshop with Bud Jeffries and Logan … [Read more...] about Stronger Grip Loadable Mace Product Review
The Combustion Chamber – a Kettlebell Workout
Long ago in a somewhat miserable galaxy far far away, I was shown the original Whitley "Furnace" workout in a questionable corner of a questionable playground in a questionable condo complex. Questionable because well...not everyone was as careful with their dog droppings as we would have hoped. Fortunately this didn't become an issue. What WAS an issue was my feelings about … [Read more...] about The Combustion Chamber – a Kettlebell Workout
Boston Weekend (Part 1) and Dragon Door 18kg and 22kg Kettlebell Unboxing Video
Those of you following along on Instagram had a few sneak previews of some of the big fun this past weekend in Western MA and Boston - the adventure began with helping Amber of GiryaScope (Boston) lead a 4 hour intro/fine tuning kettlebell workshop at CrossFit Swarm in Westfield. The workshop sold out - and despite the freezing weather, showed up ready to learn and work. I … [Read more...] about Boston Weekend (Part 1) and Dragon Door 18kg and 22kg Kettlebell Unboxing Video
Ask GiryaGirl: The Century Workout and How Do You Keep From Swinging When Performing Hanging Knee or Leg Raises??
Starting to get seriously psyched about the first ever Progressive Calisthenics Certification Workshop planned for this coming June. Every time I even look at that page it's exciting to see my name up there as an instructor with Al and Danny Kavadlo. Amusingly enough, I'm almost just as excited to get my paws on the 600 page manual Paul Wade has written especially for the … [Read more...] about Ask GiryaGirl: The Century Workout and How Do You Keep From Swinging When Performing Hanging Knee or Leg Raises??
3 Tips for Swinging HEAVY Kettlebells From Someone Light
So, you think you have a pretty decent "handle" on the kettlebell swing, or if not, don't go heavy yet. However, when we THINK we have a good grasp of the swing with our usual kettlebell, grabbing a heavier one can make it feel like a whole new challenge. OR... more likely it just decides to show you everything you might be doing wrong. While I don't mind swinging with light or … [Read more...] about 3 Tips for Swinging HEAVY Kettlebells From Someone Light
A Challenge, A Weekend Workout, Chocolate Reviews and Other Important Stuff
Its always fun to visit other gyms, hang out etc. Inside is very nice, but of course we had to get grungy and throw tires around, push prowlers, and swing kettlebells instead. Inside we did a Primal Move warm up, played with the really great pull up bar setup (I managed to do another couple muscle ups), and then some really weird pull ups on this very bizarre and hard to hang … [Read more...] about A Challenge, A Weekend Workout, Chocolate Reviews and Other Important Stuff
Are You MENTAL?
“Ninety percent of this game is half-mental.” - Yogi Berra Ok, so the quote is kind of funny if you sit back and do the math - however you interpret it, the argument could be made that the word "game" could easily be replaced with "life." At least that's been pretty close to my experience. Having grown up in a household with a psychologist Dad and educator Mom, I've always … [Read more...] about Are You MENTAL?
Something Simple, Something Brutal – a Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
Really interesting day - mostly fun even - one of the highlights before class was visiting the really cool no-nonesense studio Leanne Ellington has in Maitland - I may have gotten her hooked on the RKC/HKC style kettlebell swing - we had a blast discussing Primal Move, FMS, and quite honestly geeked out just a heck of a whole lot. I felt like having a simple class (even … [Read more...] about Something Simple, Something Brutal – a Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
