As you may have gathered I shot a fair amount of video while in Providence, Rhode Island recently. The weather was ideal (slightly cool and overcast outside) not only for running around but acting as a natural light diffusor for pretty good video!!! When we arrived at Brown Street Park, I had that whole feeling you get as a kid when you see the playground and you can't seem … [Read more...] about Monkey Bar Monday – Rope Climbing in Providence, RI and A Scaled At Home Version!

Click here to read the PCC blog post that goes with this photo! Those of you who were following along last Weds/Thursday on Instagram and Youtube know that the journey out to the first ever Progressive Calisthenics Certification (PCC) Workshop in the UK was a little bit.... challenging.

Active Rest Can Be a LOT of Fun!
Dear Northern Friends, Sorry to gloat about the good weather we are having this weekend, but it was so nice outside today that a friend and I decided to walk to a nearby park and set up our slacklines. The very cool thing was also realizing that the next time, we could pick up picnic items on the way and really turn it into a day long outdoor fun time. Can't complain … [Read more...] about Active Rest Can Be a LOT of Fun!
A Great Excuse to Drag a Bunch of Things Out to the Park – Workout and Skill Practice
On somewhat of a lark it seemed like a fun idea to drag a variety of favorite "toys" out to the park today. A friend met me for this challenge and I also wanted to borrow her slackline. Because mine is SO stretchy I'd been having to hang it so high between trees that when I was jumping or falling off of it with the usual frequency it was starting to stress out my achilles … [Read more...] about A Great Excuse to Drag a Bunch of Things Out to the Park – Workout and Skill Practice
Simple Workouts that Can Travel with You Over the Holidays
Hope the season is bringing you maximum joy with minimum frustration! Was just thinking about all the magazine articles and blog posts out there which will be offering up all the usual holiday advice for surviving feasts (or not giving yourself a hard time for indulging--that seems to be a new theme this year), and well meaning, but often over complicated holiday workout … [Read more...] about Simple Workouts that Can Travel with You Over the Holidays
Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder?
Feels like we've been a little out of touch with each other lately, but I promise to stay in town for a couple weeks at least. The schedule has been pretty wild this month, not that I'm complaining. Not one bit. NOPE! Anyway, in case you haven't heard, the first ever PCC (Progressive Calisthenics Certification) Instructor Workshop last weekend was not only a ton of fun, but a … [Read more...] about Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder?
Another Great Time in Boston Part 1 with Primal Move and Tai Chi
Another whirlwind tour of the best Boston has to offer was sandwiched carefully between leading Primal Move workshops - an instructor certification workshop on Saturday, and then a 3hr "intro to" for all populations on Sunday. The group who signed up for the instructor cert were some of the smartest most capable instructors/trainers I've seen in a while - their individual … [Read more...] about Another Great Time in Boston Part 1 with Primal Move and Tai Chi
Good Mojo in the Dojo, a Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
The weather was supposed to be completely terrible - so we made plans to have the kettlebell small group class meet at the venerable martial arts hub known as East Coast Martial Arts Supply on Colonial. This store has been there forever, and recently we've begun a very nice friendship. Earlier in the week, I had a very fascinating intro to Systema lesson there and plan to … [Read more...] about Good Mojo in the Dojo, a Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
Saturday in the Park Workout
Normally, the kettlebell small group doesn't meet on Saturday, but a client had rescheduled for that afternoon, and since the weather outside was so nice, I sent out a quick message to see if anyone wanted to have a group workout the previous hour. Figured I'd go out there anyway - and do my own thing if not. Amusingly, several messages came in immediately and so - a group … [Read more...] about Saturday in the Park Workout
Ask GiryaGirl: The Century Workout and How Do You Keep From Swinging When Performing Hanging Knee or Leg Raises??
Starting to get seriously psyched about the first ever Progressive Calisthenics Certification Workshop planned for this coming June. Every time I even look at that page it's exciting to see my name up there as an instructor with Al and Danny Kavadlo. Amusingly enough, I'm almost just as excited to get my paws on the 600 page manual Paul Wade has written especially for the … [Read more...] about Ask GiryaGirl: The Century Workout and How Do You Keep From Swinging When Performing Hanging Knee or Leg Raises??
