After having put in a whole heck of a lot of hours these past few weeks on various projects (for others mostly... you may have noticed the blog posts here have been a little few and far between... sorry about that) it was time to GET OUTSIDE before it gets annoyingly hot here in Florida. Well... it was kind of really bright out there today, but I didn't let that stop me, … [Read more...] about Happy Monkey Bar Monday! A Video and More Exciting News…

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
The Dead Sandwich Kettlebell Workout, Raaw Macaw Custom Healthy Foods
First off, I'm continuing to still run the poll about "what do you want to see" on this site, and while there's definitely a pattern emerging, its still important to get as much data as possible! So if you haven't already, please click here and go vote. As much as I want to comment on the "pattern emerging" I don't want to accidentally sway opinions. Anyway, as promised no, … [Read more...] about The Dead Sandwich Kettlebell Workout, Raaw Macaw Custom Healthy Foods
A Workout, a Template, a Tetanus shot, an Introduction, and Something to Look Forward to!
Let's start with the workout and you can decide how much entertainment beyond that you'd like. This has been a fairly crazy week, as usual. For about a week I had misplaced the completed "little gray Moleskine notebook" that I'd been scribbing workouts to test and the results and adjustments of them. Since there's been some joking about certain people "snagging it and making … [Read more...] about A Workout, a Template, a Tetanus shot, an Introduction, and Something to Look Forward to!
The Great 38, A Birthday Workout Challenge!
Even though I'd made a "38 birthday workout" for a client a few years ago, and considered just recycling it for myself, I decided NOPE!! I need my own, and something goofily specific to what I like to do. So yes, there are pull ups involved. DEAD HANG pull ups of course... which can always been substituted out with Aussie pull ups or the fun variation I brought for my training … [Read more...] about The Great 38, A Birthday Workout Challenge!
Everything with Nothing, A Bodyweight Only Workout For Anytime, Anywhere
Coming back from the Encinitas, California PCC workshop last week meant flying out of the San Diego airport on a red eye flight from SAN to ATL to back home. And while I was thankfully upgraded on the flight from SAN to ATL, that was still just maybe 2 hours of precious sleep before hitting the ground in Atlanta and hopefully wandering into the correct terminal. Those of you … [Read more...] about Everything with Nothing, A Bodyweight Only Workout For Anytime, Anywhere
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
The House Always Wins… A Bodyweight Workout At Home
Used to be ashamed of this, but after hearing that some other very esteemed top instructors also had the same problem I've gotten over it. And that's an ability to coach and count at the same time. Seeing that the coaching part is more important, I decided to add a couple sets of poker chips to my collection of workout items. One is this very simple plastic box of 100 chips … [Read more...] about The House Always Wins… A Bodyweight Workout At Home

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!
