Sometimes it's helpful to have a workout that doesn't involve a ton of precise movements. Not all the time, but after a hard week or a set of high cognitive load tasks sometimes it's good to just go hard. This workout has outdoor and indoor variations, since everyone seems to be dealing with heatwaves and other challenges. I made up the fan bike version since I decided to test … [Read more...] about Oh HILL no… or Hill Yes – a Hill Sprints Workout (with an indoor alternative)
Sandbag Workout
Busy Day Workout for All Of The Things!
My internet nerd friends get the reference there "all the things". Named that because well, there's mobility, calisthenics (pull-ups), kettlebells, and sandbag. Once again, Monday was being Monday and full of all kinds of interesting business related challenges. Still... I wasn't about to skip a workout because of that. After seeing a really fun Facebook Live video of some … [Read more...] about Busy Day Workout for All Of The Things!
Travel Log and Workout:Visit to NYC Part 1 – Traveling Rings–with Video, Kettlebell & Sandbag, and MORE!
It was time to get out of town... if I have to spend too much time in Florida, I get antsy and the humidity and lack of any real relief from the heat was beginning to really wear on me.

Super Scaleable Three-Move EMOM (Every Minute on the Minute) Workout for Home or Anywhere
Those of you following along on Instagram today you may have noticed at the end of one of the videos I kind of... attack a bowl of pepperment bark at Williams-Sonoma while on an otherwise innocent errand to pick up a box of Mavea water filters. Long story short, I might have had a little bit of a sugar rush when I came home, but I also wanted to get some reps in, and some small … [Read more...] about Super Scaleable Three-Move EMOM (Every Minute on the Minute) Workout for Home or Anywhere
The Power of Simple At-Home Workouts… Example: Sandbag and Pull Up Bar
Impatient people can click here to skip to the workout and video A pattern I've seen for years (and have also personally experienced) is that the more advanced you get, the less you really need. While there's always a seemingly human-nature-fueled thirst for gadgets and gizmos, and while new stuff can be motivating and a lot of fun (and I certainly have a first class … [Read more...] about The Power of Simple At-Home Workouts… Example: Sandbag and Pull Up Bar
Stress Buster: A Two-Part Workout For Kettlebells, Sandbag, and Pull Up Bar
Still finding the time to tell you about the adventures of the past few weeks (wow this is getting embarrassing!!!) BUT in the mean time I'll share with you a really fun workout from last week. It was first intended as a stand alone for home, then a friend wanted to meet up and just blow off some steam after work with a little "cardio". Put together this combo is a neat … [Read more...] about Stress Buster: A Two-Part Workout For Kettlebells, Sandbag, and Pull Up Bar
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
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!
Breaking Mental (Rep Range) Blocks… A Sandbag, Bodyweight, Kettlebell Workout
(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
A Bear (Complex) in the Park — Workout for Kettlebells and Ultimate Sandbags!
Kept going back and forth with how to "rank" this one (I'd type out one line, and then think "oh yeah advanced" type out the next and think "intermediate" then realized... if you are comfortable with all the exercises in the workout then the "level" is really determined by the weights you choose, and the length of the rest breaks you take... so since I had to pick something, I … [Read more...] about A Bear (Complex) in the Park — Workout for Kettlebells and Ultimate Sandbags!
