After an eagle-eyed Instagram follower asked if the little hook ball items on my home pull up bar were Stronger Grip GripBalls, I remembered that I hadn't talked about them in a while and did a short video about how they can be used for a variety of grip strength and coordination challenges. In addition to the pull up variations in the video below, many people use them to pull … [Read more...] about Another Look at a Stronger Grip Favorite, An Unconventional Strength Challenge Partner Workout, and More “Tone and Drone” Antics

Pull-Up Bar Rollover Tutorial, Push-Up Elbows Talk, 100 Tire Flips, plus Drone Talk!
It's been a heck of a couple of weeks! For those of you who have been keeping up over on my YouTube channel, you know I've been posting a LOT of videos lately (many of which are linked below! There are a few reasons for this: 1. I've been writing a LOT... mostly on a very large project (larger than usual) along with a high number of interviews for Dragon … [Read more...] about Pull-Up Bar Rollover Tutorial, Push-Up Elbows Talk, 100 Tire Flips, plus Drone Talk!

Outdoor, Unconventional, Kettlebell, Bodyweight, and Odd Object Training Workout!
"There's a pattern to it of course, " I said when talking about what we would be doing. Last week I realized that I've somehow reverted to childhood activities with a few of my own workouts with friends. While most of my motivation is internally generated, lately I've been having a whole lot of fun inviting fit friends to "come over and play". Sometimes I'm testing out … [Read more...] about Outdoor, Unconventional, Kettlebell, Bodyweight, and Odd Object Training Workout!
A Monkey Bar Monday WORKOUT with Video!
Those who train with me know how much I love finding a new "fit trail"! Imagine the delight in finding a fit trail AND a large open field full of mostly soft grass, but not chemically treated to the point of the local soccer fields (those make me itch and that's freaky... and scary because... chemicals!). While this requires a little "scouting" to make sure no hands end up in … [Read more...] about A Monkey Bar Monday WORKOUT with Video!
Quick Workout for Hectic Times, Kettlebells, and Battling Rope!
I'm still working on editing a fun video for you with an especially interesting circuit (there's some highly functional but silly looking parts to it, thanks to my general appearance, some kids at the park gawked at what I was doing, but were unsure if it was "safe" to openly mock me. Thanks, hairdo!) Anyway that is still in the works. Look for it this weekend, so you can try … [Read more...] about Quick Workout for Hectic Times, Kettlebells, and Battling Rope!
Slackline and Mace Experimental Challenge – Unconventional Outdoor Balance and Mobility Training [VIDEO]
It's that brief but magical time of the year in Florida where on a few days it is very nice outside. Soon, it will be unbearably hot, humid, and with afternoons full of steaming hot rain. BUT until that time, I try to get outside (in the shade at least) as much as possible. Yes, this is a silly graphic, but it's 100% true. I really enjoy observing the occasional bird of … [Read more...] about Slackline and Mace Experimental Challenge – Unconventional Outdoor Balance and Mobility Training [VIDEO]
Lots of Videos, Pull-Ups, Interviews, Monkey Bar Monday, Healthy Skoop, Sewing?!??
It's been fun to explore another part of the city a little, and I was thrilled to find that the fit trail on Lake Ivanhoe is well within a short walking distance of the coworking/makerspace. Here's what went down for Monkey Bar Monday by the way... do you have a fit trail near you? One of my favorite things to do with a small group or one on one client is to … [Read more...] about Lots of Videos, Pull-Ups, Interviews, Monkey Bar Monday, Healthy Skoop, Sewing?!??
Double Kettlebell Drills, Grip Ball Farmer’s Carries and a Tasty Prize!
Thanks to StrongerGrip.com I am now the proud owner of several fun new things. One of which is a set of the very interesting and multi-useful Grip Balls. They are steel with a heavy duty hook welded on. Last night I hooked them onto a pull up bar and was getting QUITE the challenge.

Makerspace Coworking, Office Snacks, Offsetting Sedentary Work, Exercise Snacks, and a Vlog!
As many of you may have already gathered, even though I do train individual clients, help prospective RKCs, RKC-IIs, PCCs to prepare for workshops, lead a kettlebell and bodyweight focused small group class, teach occasional out of town classes/workshops, and when asked ALWAYS am happy to help teach a PCC workshop, training others is not the main thing I do "as a job". I kinda … [Read more...] about Makerspace Coworking, Office Snacks, Offsetting Sedentary Work, Exercise Snacks, and a Vlog!
