Q: The Kettlebell Bent Press is very difficult for me. When I do too many my back is injured the next day. I am wondering if the Bent Press is meant to do for reps....or is it something you do only a few times per side (like a Turkish Get Up) at the end of a workout. - Jason A: The Bent Press can be a great exercise if performed correctly, and there's a couple of different … [Read more...] about Ask GiryaGirl: Bent Press Issues

Upstairs, Downstairs… a Workout for Kettlebells, Stairwell, and Bodyweight
This workout certainly isn't for everyone since it uses a "found staircase" I suppose a stepmill could be used for it, but part of the "fun" of the workout is self-regulating how fast you're taking the stairs, and sharing heckles with your training partner related to who has the inside or outside of the staircase.... Here in Florida we don't have many buildings with a ton of … [Read more...] about Upstairs, Downstairs… a Workout for Kettlebells, Stairwell, and Bodyweight
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.

Having recently purchased my friend's unlocked iPhone5s, it was … [Read more...] about A Workout for Leftover Energy…
My Not-So-Secret Secret Workout Protocol…
Not always a big fan of crowds, so when my neighborhood gets overrun with partiers I usually end up hunkering down and getting a lot of work done. The cost of this is at some point I need to really jump around and burn off some extra energy. Since I’ve been developing recipes I wanted to work up a good appetite to try them too. This past week I had the opportunity to teach a … [Read more...] about My Not-So-Secret Secret Workout Protocol…

Substitute taught a friend’s fitness bootcamp classes last night – and here’s their kettlebell workout!
While my super awesome fellow personal trainer friend Alicia Streger was out of town yesterday, I had the opportunity to lead her 6PM fitness bootcamp and her 7PM kettlebell bootcamp. WHAT A CHALLENGE! :) I love challenges though. Problem was, traffic and closed roads fought me all the way there and by the time I had arrived (with maybe 2-3 minutes to spare) I was staring down … [Read more...] about Substitute taught a friend’s fitness bootcamp classes last night – and here’s their kettlebell workout!
