A GiryaGirlTV YouTube Trailer, Last Night’s Workout, and What’s on the Horizon!
Have been getting some very fun feedback on this first foray into "iMovie Movie Trailers". Decided to finally start making my YouTube channel a little cooler, starting with it's own little movie trailer below: In other news, I have actually notified some of my most persistent (and physically tough) friends that they can get on my case if I don't get the video light kit … [Read more...] about A GiryaGirlTV YouTube Trailer, Last Night’s Workout, and What’s on the Horizon!
A Bear (Complex) in the Park — Workout for Kettlebells and Ultimate Sandbags!
Kept going back and forth with how to "rank" this one (I'd type out one line, and then think "oh yeah advanced" type out the next and think "intermediate" then realized... if you are comfortable with all the exercises in the workout then the "level" is really determined by the weights you choose, and the length of the rest breaks you take... so since I had to pick something, I … [Read more...] about A Bear (Complex) in the Park — Workout for Kettlebells and Ultimate Sandbags!
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…
Ask GiryaGirl: YOUR Questions About Push Ups, Flags, Neuro-Grips, Hip Hinges, Youngevity?
Been meaning to compile some of these for a while. A number of regular readers of this site send really good questions via email and they are usually things that others will want to know too. This is just barely scratching the surface, but here we go! Q: Is it better to do push ups from kettlebell handles or should I just do regular ones? A: I wouldn’t say “better” … [Read more...] about Ask GiryaGirl: YOUR Questions About Push Ups, Flags, Neuro-Grips, Hip Hinges, Youngevity?
The Great Outdoors… A Stacking Workout Circuit
Should issue a warning to my friends/workout partners and small group whenever I start reading about things like SEALFIT or am in the early chapters of Lone Survivor and learning all about what those guys go through in Indoc and BUD/S etc. It warps my own sensibility in terms of "difficulty" when I push myself through a challenge. Now, there's this terrible little voice in … [Read more...] about The Great Outdoors… A Stacking Workout Circuit
A Profound Story of Transformation with Kettlebells
Recently I had the honor of interviewing fellow Floridian, Susan Sloan. She's now celebrating her 1 year anniversary as an RKC instructor, and considering the journey she's had to get there, this is even more significant an accomplishment than usual (it's not something just anyone can do, and the odds she has overcome make it even more impressive.) I'll save the details for … [Read more...] about A Profound Story of Transformation with Kettlebells
The 300 Nightmare Kettlebell, Battling Rope, and Jump Rope Workout
It was time to step things up a notch early last week. My approach to conditioning is very similar to my approach to abdominal training... it just kind of happens (very well) in the course of our general training. For instance with the kettlebell swing, there's skill, timing, acceleration/deceleration, strength, and conditioning components just to start. There's also a … [Read more...] about The 300 Nightmare Kettlebell, Battling Rope, and Jump Rope Workout
A Victory for the hands, courtesy of Diesel Crew
Tonight an amazing thing happened... I did the snatch test without chalk, and without having my hands even slightly getting torn up. Because for the past week, I have been shaving down the calluses on my hands daily with one of those silly "as seen on tv" Ped Eggs. Looks like someone took one of those kitchen "microplane" cheese graters, made some minor modifications and … [Read more...] about A Victory for the hands, courtesy of Diesel Crew
Do you make fresh juices? Beyond Organic Hot Dogs? TV Squat Swings?
I've gotten a few questions over the past few days from people - both online and in real life - so guess what! It's Q&A time! Q: Making fresh fruit and vegetable juices seems really popular among the healthy lifestyles crowd, but I never hear you talk about it - do you juice? What do you think of juicing? A: OK - this is 100% my personal opinion, but here you … [Read more...] about Do you make fresh juices? Beyond Organic Hot Dogs? TV Squat Swings?
