Its no secret that I'm nuts about Primal Move. Ever since being introduced to it in Seattle, I've enjoyed adding it to my small group's sessions, and exploring the movements at home. They've had a great effect on my own practice and have added infinite value to my CK-FMS knowledge. And while I was a little nervous to teach the first ever Primal Move Certification Workshop here … [Read more...] about My First Time Leading a Certification Workshop – Primal Move Winter Park Florida

Hanging around with Aleks Salkin – and an interesting workout
So, I have to finish up some other projects today first, but know that a really fun partner kind of video montage thing is on the way. I grabbed Aleks Salkin who you may recognise from some previous articles for some fun "anywhere" workouts during a break at the Marketing Mastermind Intensive (MMI from here on out) this past weekend. The video should be cool, but in the … [Read more...] about Hanging around with Aleks Salkin – and an interesting workout
Simple Kettlebell, Bodyweight, and Sprint Ladder
I helped out at a friend's boot camp this past week, and was further inspired by her workout (reverse ladder of drills punctuated with a short run to different exercise stations) to create one of my own. Also brought in an idea from one of RKC Dr. Michael Hartle's football conditioning workouts, the basic formula: kettlebell drill, sprint, walk back (active rest). Before … [Read more...] about Simple Kettlebell, Bodyweight, and Sprint Ladder
Now We Get to Act Like A Bunch of ANIMALS… a kettlebell and bodyweight workout!
So much inspiration and creativity stemming from the recent visit to NYC, Nimble Fitness, Equinox, and of course Al Kavadlo's Saturday Morning class. This particular workout's "warm up" was directly influenced by the warmup from Al's class I attended. Lacking access to Thompson Square Park, I came up with a simple circuit punctuated with our favorite 2 hand kettlebell swings … [Read more...] about Now We Get to Act Like A Bunch of ANIMALS… a kettlebell and bodyweight workout!
Ideas about indoor kettlebell and bodyweight workouts
I keep checking to see if any of the neighbors are building an ark. Seriously... the rain—all week... rain rain rain rain rain. AAAGGGHHHH!!!!! This is especially annoying for people who like to walk to their errand destinations, who like to practice beginner and clutch flags on any available safe pole, who like to do fingertip pull ups off of various pieces of … [Read more...] about Ideas about indoor kettlebell and bodyweight workouts
Ask GiryaGirl: Troubleshooting the Pistol – a Q&A discussion
Recently I posted a link to the new Shot-At-Alcatraz Convict Conditioning Bodyweight Squat DVD. I had also recently posted a my review at that same link. Yes, the price is daunting - but if you're serious about mastering the pistol (aka the one leg squat) then this will be a worthwhile investment. ESPECIALLY if you are training others—this is essentially on-demand coaching … [Read more...] about Ask GiryaGirl: Troubleshooting the Pistol – a Q&A discussion

We had pairs of the following kettlebells … [Read more...] about Half Beginner Half Advanced – A Kettlebell Workout and Practice Session
Hold It Right There, Practice and Circuits – a Kettlebell Workout
Here's a version of a fun one we did this week in small group - it's been modified to be a little more general - we worked on some specific stuff in the actual class related to the progress of those in attendence. ANYWAY - since if you train with me, it means you'll learn to loooooooooooooove kettlebell cleans. Or, maybe will give up on hating them. More yabbering about why … [Read more...] about Hold It Right There, Practice and Circuits – a Kettlebell Workout
A 300 workout…
After the movie 300 came out there was a lot of buzz in various magazines, blogs etc. about the 300 Workout which the cast of the movie was purported to have used to get in marvelous shape. Rumors formed, theories abounded blah blah blah. At the end of it, a lot of people were inspired to make up their own workout of 300 reps... and today I came up with one myself. … [Read more...] about A 300 workout…
