Welcome to Girevik Bear Blog

Welcome all,
  This is The Girevik Bear Blog. In this blog I will cover interesting topics about the world of health and fitness. Follow along with my weekly programming, and learn about it's intended affects. Also enjoy watching as this program evolves, and moulds itself into a solid, respectable, and well versed fitness concept. As the name suggests I have a special interest in the Russian Girevik style of training. This involves lifting kettlebells both heavy and light and a variety of movements. My style of training also draws much of it's style from Crossfit and it's methodology, so expect those schools of thought to also be explored. I also find myself drawn to trail running and any outdoor activity really, so there will be opportunities to discuss that as well. There will be much more to come in the future, as this is only the first entry. I will post pictures, and daily workouts, travel workouts for the Bears among us who may have limited access to equipment or facilities, as well as sound nutrition advice, and general musings about the sciences behind the sports.

  Please visit the Girevik Bear often, and learn the path to becoming a mighty Bear. You can posess great strength and stamina, and be more of a human than you have ever been in the past. Learn to work, learn to eat, learn to rest, and learn to play. But above all, let's reach an understanding of WHY we do what we do for our bodies. And how it makes us FEEL, both in body and in spirit.

  Thanks for reading, fellow Bears, look for more in the near future.
