On a lark I decided to try the 21 Day Kettlebell Swing Challenge from Josh Hillis - I needed some variety and direction with the conditioning portion of my personal workouts - and thought it looked like a whole lot of fun. I'll be varying the program a little to make room for my favorite bodyweight practice items that happen throughout the day, but should be staying true enough … [Read more...] about The 6PM Shred Kettlebell, Bodyweight and Battling Rope Workout

Intermediate to Advanced Kettlebell Circuit Workout From Favorite Moves!
After a last minute sudden location change (rain poured down from NOWHERE a full 2 minutes before small group), we carried on with the full workout you see here -- I'll also write it out in case the little graphic is too difficult to read for any reason. Also, clicking on the image will make it full size... which is huge. With the inclusion of the 5 minutes, 100 snatches … [Read more...] about Intermediate to Advanced Kettlebell Circuit Workout From Favorite Moves!
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

Barbarian Track Day – Another Silly Sounding But Challenging Workout
The photo at the left here is my silly attempt at a heroic pose with a very serious piece of exercise equipment from Ryan Pitts of StrongerGrip.com He makes some incredible stuff of fantastic craftsmanship, which if you haven't checked it out, please do so. This exercise mace is down right formidable and while I've gotten better with it (with weight added in the globe) it … [Read more...] about Barbarian Track Day – Another Silly Sounding But Challenging Workout
A Workout, a Template, a Tetanus shot, an Introduction, and Something to Look Forward to!
Let's start with the workout and you can decide how much entertainment beyond that you'd like. This has been a fairly crazy week, as usual. For about a week I had misplaced the completed "little gray Moleskine notebook" that I'd been scribbing workouts to test and the results and adjustments of them. Since there's been some joking about certain people "snagging it and making … [Read more...] about A Workout, a Template, a Tetanus shot, an Introduction, and Something to Look Forward to!
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!
Breaking Mental (Rep Range) Blocks… A Sandbag, Bodyweight, Kettlebell Workout
(Another small group workout is coming soon, but I wanted to share another "getting the New Year started right" workout with you first! The workout written below is seen in it's "beta" form in my notebook above on the right side of the page... With handwriting that bad, maybe I should have been a doctor?!?) This workout certainly isn't for beginners, though with some … [Read more...] about Breaking Mental (Rep Range) Blocks… A Sandbag, Bodyweight, Kettlebell Workout
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!
Upstairs, Downstairs… a Workout for Kettlebells, Stairwell, and Bodyweight
This workout certainly isn't for everyone since it uses a "found staircase" I suppose a stepmill could be used for it, but part of the "fun" of the workout is self-regulating how fast you're taking the stairs, and sharing heckles with your training partner related to who has the inside or outside of the staircase.... Here in Florida we don't have many buildings with a ton of … [Read more...] about Upstairs, Downstairs… a Workout for Kettlebells, Stairwell, and Bodyweight
