Recently discovered that I can do a few one arm push ups, and amusingly I seem to do them more easily with my non-dominant hand. As I was telling some friends the other day, even though I hadn't been specifically training for one arm push ups, I had been doing a LOT more work with the Neuro-Grips for higher rep push ups (that in itself is another notable accomplishment) and … [Read more...] about One Arm Push Ups and Some Unusual Specialty Fruit: Arkansas Black Apples (3 Videos!)

A Benchmark Workout for Kettlebell, Ultimate Sandbag, and Track
For whatever reason--even though much like RKC Team leader Paul Britt, I do not like running at all--I am sometimes compelled to work a lap around the track into the occasional workout. It's a funny thing, for all of my not liking to run and for a perceived "weak point" in terms of certain types of endurance, I've been told that I'm fairly fast for surprising distances. … [Read more...] about A Benchmark Workout for Kettlebell, Ultimate Sandbag, and Track
Some Real Health and Fitness Game Changers From Recent Interviews and More of My Backstory
I recently interviewed Errick McAdams for DragonDoor.com - working on these interviews is one of my absolute favorite "tasks". Getting to know and share these success stories is incredibly rewarding, and I always look forward to learning more about other people drawn to the HKC, RKC and PCC. The stories are varied as everyone starts from a different point -- some have always … [Read more...] about Some Real Health and Fitness Game Changers From Recent Interviews and More of My Backstory
The Golden Hour, a Kettlebell Workout, and What I Ate Yesterday…
As some of you already know, I'm not a huge fan of the sun, but I do love the time near sunset that photographers refer to as the "golden hour". It is great for photos and videos for sure, but I also like the feel of that time of day, and the lack of burning feeling on my face. In fact, I'm considering a whole series of sunset-related videos for both of these reasons. To see … [Read more...] about The Golden Hour, a Kettlebell Workout, and What I Ate Yesterday…
Stress Destroyer Workout for Kettlebell and Pull Up Bar
It'd been a "Monday" for sure, and a friend of mine was definitely up for a challenge so we headed out to the park a good bit later than originally intended, but that's ok. I'm not opposed to occasionally (or somewhat often) working out somewhat late at night. Hince the silly owl graphic there on the left. This workout was heavily influenced and inspired by Zach Even-Esh's … [Read more...] about Stress Destroyer Workout for Kettlebell and Pull Up Bar
A Workout for Leftover Energy…
Hurrah for the great weather this past weekend! Even though I got a lot of work done, I wanted to be sure to enjoy the outdoors a bit too. A lot of cooking was done (new simple recipe for you this week) and if you see the recipe I posted over the weekend, you might see where some of the extra energy came from. Having recently purchased my friend's unlocked iPhone5s, it was … [Read more...] about A Workout for Leftover Energy…
Ask GiryaGirl: “Impossible” slacklining and a Mini Q+A about PCC Workshops!
Before we get started with the Q+A I wanted to share a couple things, first off, I've enjoyed slacklining for a while now, but am always reminded of the very important lesson from when I first started trying it -- it really REALLY did seem impossible, but after trying and trying and trying and trying it finally happened. When I get in the zone I can walk back and forth and … [Read more...] about Ask GiryaGirl: “Impossible” slacklining and a Mini Q+A about PCC Workshops!
More Inspiration From Zach Even-Esh and a Workout Too!
For the first time in what feels like FOREVER, the weather was not completely disgusting over the weekend. I was able to walk a 2 blocks without automatically breaking out in a sweat... So, while we still can, it's always fun to workout outside at a favorite park that has a fit trail. We decided to bring our stuff near the parallel dip bars (these are very long) and set up … [Read more...] about More Inspiration From Zach Even-Esh and a Workout Too!
Kettlebell Small Group Workout for Adding in a Fit Beginner
Considering the skill, time, and practice required to really get good (and safe) with kettlebell swings, a challenge that surfaces many times for instructors, trainers, and coaches is in the form of someone I call a "fit beginner". In other words, this person may come into your gym with a high degree of athleticism, already in shape, and with great strength and endurance. But … [Read more...] about Kettlebell Small Group Workout for Adding in a Fit Beginner
