"There's a pattern to it of course, " I said when talking about what we would be doing. Last week I realized that I've somehow reverted to childhood activities with a few of my own workouts with friends. While most of my motivation is internally generated, lately I've been having a whole lot of fun inviting fit friends to "come over and play". Sometimes I'm testing out … [Read more...] about Outdoor, Unconventional, Kettlebell, Bodyweight, and Odd Object Training Workout!

A Monkey Bar Monday WORKOUT with Video!
Those who train with me know how much I love finding a new "fit trail"! Imagine the delight in finding a fit trail AND a large open field full of mostly soft grass, but not chemically treated to the point of the local soccer fields (those make me itch and that's freaky... and scary because... chemicals!). While this requires a little "scouting" to make sure no hands end up in … [Read more...] about A Monkey Bar Monday WORKOUT with Video!
Podcast with Kirsty Grosart, World Class Handstand and Bodyweight Strength Expert, GMB Coach
I've noticed Kirsty Grosart's achivements and extreme skills for years online. It was a ton of fun to get her on the GiryaGirl.com podcast! Admittedly, I'm being super-self-serving by trying to get a whole bunch of tips to improve my handstand skills, but since I'm sharing it with you, that makes it ok, right? This super fun episode is linked below for online listening via … [Read more...] about Podcast with Kirsty Grosart, World Class Handstand and Bodyweight Strength Expert, GMB Coach
I was a guest on the Red Delta Project Podcast, Plus a Bodyweight Only Workout, and a Video
A few days ago I had the honor of being the first ever guest on PCC Team Leader, Matt Shifferle's Red Delta Project Podcast. Once again, as when he was recently the guest on MY podcast, we had a ton of fun discussing some of our favorite topics, calisthenics, the PCC, great food, training strategies and more. At the risk of bragging, it seems like we get around to some … [Read more...] about I was a guest on the Red Delta Project Podcast, Plus a Bodyweight Only Workout, and a Video
How to Join the 1%… of Kettlebell and Calisthenics Strength
I forget what business summit I was attending but for good or for ill my behaviors as an iconoclast, contrarian, and overall weirdo were being verbally encouraged by the speaker. It's fun to finally be commended for going against the tide, of swimming upstream, and NOT doing what everyone else is doing. The speaker was saying that the much maligned "1%"--at … [Read more...] about How to Join the 1%… of Kettlebell and Calisthenics Strength
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
Kettlebell Workout: The Short Stack, and a New Book From Danny Kavadlo
So... I hate to admit this, but back in the day (mid-late 90s) many of us would enjoy a post-club trip to the ol' IHOP. My standard food order was the "Short Stack" which wasn't a completely obscene number of pancakes. They'd still sit like rocks, but it was a good time with friends that mattered most at that time. You may be amused to find out that I was never too keen on … [Read more...] about Kettlebell Workout: The Short Stack, and a New Book From Danny Kavadlo
Special Edition Monkey Bar Monday – With Extra Monkey
This particular Monkey Bar Monday is especially special for a few reasons. The most obvious one will be (and those of you who stalk me on social media already know about this) that I'm in a different city at the moment! I've spent the past few days having a much needed mastermind (business, life, etc) with a good friend and fellow RKC, Amber Lee (Twitter: Geekpixie) in … [Read more...] about Special Edition Monkey Bar Monday – With Extra Monkey
Ask GiryaGirl: Is Convict Conditioning OK for Women? Are there Prerequisites for the HKC? And A SERIOUS Interview!
Could have SWORN that I'd answered the first question before, and maybe I have, but I also forget what day it is on a semi-regular basis given that sometimes enough interesting things happen in 1/4 of a day to account for a full day. Not complaining about that one bit. Without any further delay, here we go! Q: Is Convict Conditioning suitable for women? A: YES! It's … [Read more...] about Ask GiryaGirl: Is Convict Conditioning OK for Women? Are there Prerequisites for the HKC? And A SERIOUS Interview!
