Stuck Indoors? Here’s a Bodyweight Only Coordination, Strength and Cardio Workout!
As much as I hate to admit it, when the weather outside gets below freezing, I'm much less likely to work out outside. Then, one of my clients emailed asking for an indoor alternative to her regular outdoor activities. This workout is one that I created for a small Upper West Side Manhattan gym where I led classes for a week pretty much for the heck of it. (I wanted to get out … [Read more...] about Stuck Indoors?

Bonus Podcast!!!!! Kicking off 2016 with a little retrospective of questions, phrases, and search strings that people have typed into Google... and then ended up on my site.

(Taking the trash and the recycling out right after I post this...) But before I hop back into the fray, I wanted to share a couple things with you! As a general "heads up" (cliche I know I'm sorry) I wanted to … [Read more...] about It’s Not Too Late to Have a Healthy Weekend!
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!

Descent Into Strength: A Quick Intermediate Level Bodyweight and Kettlebell Workout
This is a workout I do (there are several variations) when there's not a lot of time, but I want to get a reasonable amount of strength work/practice done along with some conditioning as well. It's cobbled together from the ideas of several sources, and is easily adjustible to whereever you are. I'm so fond of it and its variations that it is scrawled on a small piece of … [Read more...] about Descent Into Strength: A Quick Intermediate Level Bodyweight and Kettlebell Workout
