After a last minute sudden location change (rain poured down from NOWHERE a full 2 minutes before small group), we carried on with the full workout you see here -- I'll also write it out in case the little graphic is too difficult to read for any reason. Also, clicking on the image will make it full size... which is huge. With the inclusion of the 5 minutes, 100 snatches … [Read more...] about Intermediate to Advanced Kettlebell Circuit Workout From Favorite Moves!

The Key to the Kettlebell Swing: The Hip Hinge
No matter how much we talk about the hip hinge, revisiting it is always time well spent. In fact it's a good idea to revisit the hip hinge whenever your kettlebell swing just isn't... feeling right or if you're wondering why a weird little 5'3" 125-130lb almost-middle-aged woman with a questionable hairdo is able to swing a 106lb kettlebell. The kettlebell swing is a simple … [Read more...] about The Key to the Kettlebell Swing: The Hip Hinge
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

Barbarian Track Day – Another Silly Sounding But Challenging Workout
The photo at the left here is my silly attempt at a heroic pose with a very serious piece of exercise equipment from Ryan Pitts of StrongerGrip.com He makes some incredible stuff of fantastic craftsmanship, which if you haven't checked it out, please do so. This exercise mace is down right formidable and while I've gotten better with it (with weight added in the globe) it … [Read more...] about Barbarian Track Day – Another Silly Sounding But Challenging Workout

Anyway, as promised no, … [Read more...] about The Dead Sandwich Kettlebell Workout, Raaw Macaw Custom Healthy Foods
Mayhem in the Park Workout – Kettlebells, Maces, Battling Rope, optional Hawk and Poker Chips
Last night I shared the amusing Armour39 results from the circuit described below. Once again, we invaded the field with the very soft grass, which was suprisingly resilient considering all the traffic it received from the art show last weekend. Should have taken a picture, but after unloading the following it looked like we were going to have some kind of homegrown version … [Read more...] about Mayhem in the Park Workout – Kettlebells, Maces, Battling Rope, optional Hawk and Poker Chips
A GiryaGirlTV YouTube Trailer, Last Night’s Workout, and What’s on the Horizon!
Have been getting some very fun feedback on this first foray into "iMovie Movie Trailers". Decided to finally start making my YouTube channel a little cooler, starting with it's own little movie trailer below: In other news, I have actually notified some of my most persistent (and physically tough) friends that they can get on my case if I don't get the video light kit … [Read more...] about A GiryaGirlTV YouTube Trailer, Last Night’s Workout, and What’s on the Horizon!
Giving the SSST a Try and Some Interesting Ideas
One of the things I most enjoy doing is conducting written interviews for Dragon Door. This has put me in touch with such a variety of inspiring people, and has even made lasting friendships too. Being able to share their stories is an honor that is not taken lightly. The other great thing about the interviews is they often give me ideas about challenges I'd like to try. … [Read more...] about Giving the SSST a Try and Some Interesting Ideas

(Another small group workout is coming soon, but I wanted to share another "getting the New Year started right" workout with you first! The workout written below is seen in it's "beta" form in my notebook above on the right side of the page... With handwriting that bad, maybe I should have been a doctor?!?) This workout certainly isn't for beginners, though with some … [Read more...] about Breaking Mental (Rep Range) Blocks… A Sandbag, Bodyweight, Kettlebell Workout
