Month: March 2011

  • CrossFit is Community too!

    Today’s workout was all about the team. I like switching it up and doing the workout where you rely on others to do their part — in order to come out on top! Warmup fun run w stops to do 10 burpees & 10 air squats Skill KB Swings WOD Team stations AMRAP 15m 50m?…

  • Dead Hang Pull Ups – oh the fun

    Yes, I am crazy. And yes, I got up and headed to the 6A CrossFit Impavidus class today. Yes, I am aware I went to the 730p class last night. Hey – I have a lot of stress right now and exercise is my way of dealing with it. Nothing wrong with that right? Warmupx2…

  • Stress or Exercise? Choose Exercise!

    Yesterday was a very long day — full of meetings and tons of information — so I was all wound up when I got home and decided to workout to let off some steam – yes I know it was a rest day, but sometimes you have a choice between being all stressed or exercising.…

  • Think of the possiblities!

    I took a rest day today, although I didn’t really want to. I have been in all day meetings and the sheer fact that I am sitting in a chair for hours on end, makes exercising all that more attractive to me! I think it’s so important to keep learning. So many of us get…

  • What you eat is as important as how much you eat

    The Billionaire Who Is Planning His 125th Birthday There is much to learn from this man. What you eat is as important as how much you eat — and can help ward off disease and illness. One morning in early January, David Murdock awoke to an unsettling sensation. At first he didn’t recognize it and…

    Small group this morning at CrossFit Impavidus – me and Colleen. I’m glad it wasn’t only me because as much as I like attention, I don’t like the individual attention during a hard workout!

  • Gary Taubes on Dr Oz or shall I Say in Oz?

    via The Dose of Intervention and the Land of Dr. Oz | Gary Taubes | Gary Taubes. Gary wrote Why We Get Fat and Good Calories, Bad Calories and makes a whole lotta sense! Going on Dr Oz’s show is big for this type of thinking and approach to nutrition so although it may have…

  • Using BAI instead of BMI to measure fat

    BAI Better Than BMI? Scientists Develop New Way To Measure Fat I personally was not a fan of the BMI measurement scale. 2 people can have completely different body shapes and and weigh the same — and one comes out as obese based on weight alone. There are way too many variables to add to…

  • Know the signs of colon cancer

    I frequently post information related to cancer –research, news, survivors, fighters…and this month is no exception. However, since it is officially Colon Cancer Awareness Month and my family was changed by this particular nasty cancer, I will be sharing cancer related information throughout this month so that we do not lose sight of those who…
