The Connection Between Dehydration and Headaches
I don’t drink enough water! There I said it, came clean. I just don’t and there is no real good reason for it and I know I should but I don’t. When it gets super hot and I workout, it sometimes really knocks me out for a loop and the signs that I am not…

Needing to Move
I’m baaaackk!!! It was a good few day break away from my busy life. I love my life and all that I have going on, but sometimes it all gets to be so much that stepping away to just disconnect does so much good. We had no responsibilities, no kids — and could just take…

Master What You Suck At
This morning I didn’t want to go to CrossFit. I am being honest – I was tired, sore from the heavy lifts I have done this week and to top it off – TMI alert – it’s that time of the month. I started talking to myself saying “it’s ok to go back to bed.…

CrossFit Games 2012
So as I sit here and think about how sore I am after the past few days of working out doing my CrossFit thing, I almost feel guilty. I feel this way because I know what the CrossFit Games athletes are having to do today — Castro explained the first event of the 2012 Reebok…

Deadlift warmups
Yesterday was Deadlift day and not only did I work out in the AM — I coached in the evening. Needless to say it was a long day for me but when you love what you do — it was fun all the way. I came across this site that really helped me learn some…

Deadlifting the Day Away
we did more deadlifts today. As much as I love my deadliftin’, it’s hard to do more when you just hit your PR on Sunday. I’m not complaining; I love deadlifts and I get to see my buds. It is seriously one of the best parts of my day. Warmup 1 lap jog Drills (bear…
