Normally my Saturday is a loose-ends tying, wandering around and figuring stuff out day (as you may have noticed via Instagram). That's still on the schedule, but given holiday demands, my fellow type-a maniac advanced client and I moved our normal "Sunday challenge" to Satuday instead. While it was about 38 degrees when we got started, I knew the light hoodie I was wearing … [Read more...] about Pre-Holiday Park Challenge Workout

Heavy Kettlebells + Fajitas… A Workout and Simple Cast Iron Skillet Fajitas Recipe
Must admit, I'm really enjoying the lower humidity and slightly cooler weather here at my new place... and even though I was very active before, being able to just go outside and work out with very little fanfare (or audience) has inspired me to do even more. I felt like going pretty heavy with things last night, and ended up surprising myself a little. Given that I kept … [Read more...] about Heavy Kettlebells + Fajitas… A Workout and Simple Cast Iron Skillet Fajitas Recipe
A Short But Fun Underground Strength Inspired Exercise Break… After an Adventure!
It's been an interesting weekend... getting a lot done, maybe a little too much because as the sun started to go down today I found myself wanting to go outside and play for lack of a better term. Some may refer to this as a "workout" but considering what I did and how fun it was I think it was more like a slightly more grown up version of playing in the yard. Unfortunately, … [Read more...] about A Short But Fun Underground Strength Inspired Exercise Break… After an Adventure!
Stress Buster: A Two-Part Workout For Kettlebells, Sandbag, and Pull Up Bar
Still finding the time to tell you about the adventures of the past few weeks (wow this is getting embarrassing!!!) BUT in the mean time I'll share with you a really fun workout from last week. It was first intended as a stand alone for home, then a friend wanted to meet up and just blow off some steam after work with a little "cardio". Put together this combo is a neat … [Read more...] about Stress Buster: A Two-Part Workout For Kettlebells, Sandbag, and Pull Up Bar
A Challenging But Oddly Stress-Relieving Workout
This fun challenge I wrote up for a friend and I became a neat strength endurance challenge of the "accidental cardio" variety (in places). I've been gearing up for Zach Even-Esh's Underground Strength Coach workshop in Orlando, and essentially using that as an excuse to come up with more "General preparedness" workouts inspired by his book the Encyclopedia of Underground … [Read more...] about A Challenging But Oddly Stress-Relieving Workout
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!
A Benchmark Workout for Kettlebell, Ultimate Sandbag, and Track
For whatever reason--even though much like RKC Team leader Paul Britt, I do not like running at all--I am sometimes compelled to work a lap around the track into the occasional workout. It's a funny thing, for all of my not liking to run and for a perceived "weak point" in terms of certain types of endurance, I've been told that I'm fairly fast for surprising distances. … [Read more...] about A Benchmark Workout for Kettlebell, Ultimate Sandbag, and Track
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. A lot of cooking was done (new simple recipe for you this week) and if you see the recipe I posted over the weekend, you might see where some of the extra energy came from. 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…
