  • It’s all related –Mind and Body

    How I Stopped Judging Myself The key is being aware of how you treat yourself. We are usually our harshest critics. Once you are self aware, you can at least begin to address the issue. It’s the same with working out. Body awareness is key to being more efficient and effective in your workouts. See…

  • A girl’s gotta do what she’s gotta do!

    It’s been a crazy busy day. I skipped my usual workout to help out CrossFit Impavidus Kids at the Family Fun Fest at Dulles Town Center. We want to get the word out about CrossFit and CrossFit Kids. We had some of our own kids and some of our athlete kids come by and did…

  • No equipment neccessary: CrossFit Workouts

    Great post about CrossFit Workouts you can do with no equipment from a CrossFit trainer — NO EQUIPMENT, NO PROBLEM: 92 CROSSFIT WORKOUTS WITHOUT EQUIPMENT Over the weekend I had a workout in the local park adjacent Kitsilano Beach (an area in Vancouver). We had access to a pull-up station next to the basketball courts,…

  • Thrusters for a Saturday

    It was great to get back into the swing of things — it’s sad to think how 3 days away from working out can make such a difference — it takes forever to get into shape but about a week or so to lose some of the gains.  But what makes a difference is that…

  • Back to life, back to reality

    Traveling while you are sick sucks. I started getting sick on Tuesday, was not much better on Weds, and by Thursday – getting on a plane was the last thing I wanted to do. But I did .. and got in to San Diego early afternoon and hung out for a bit and realized that…

    I write an extra blog post for my local patch website: Live Fit and Sore!. It’s really another avenue for me to support others in my local community to get fit for themselves and their families. This past week, I wrote on a common theme – Finding your “CrossFit”:  finding your passion, something that shocks…

  • Getting Fit and Healthy is not a male or female thing

    Intimidated by CrossFit Women? That’s a Good Thing. I hear a lot of people I  know worry about doing something like CrossFit for all the reasons mentioned below. As this post says — women are meant to be athletes too. I was born with a broad shoulders — I make the joke that my ancestry must…

  • All the ‘single’ ladies…well at least 2

    I heard an interesting question on the radio this morning — If you could, would you use a life reset button? Start over, redo your life — it’s definitely a question that doesn’t have an easy answer – at least for me. There are things that happen in your life that you wish wouldn’t have,…

  • Deadlifts and Double Unders – Oh my!

    I am one sore lady this AM. Not over sore, where I can’t move but I can definitely feel the workouts this week. It feels good tho. The good mornings we did on Tues are still reminding my hamstrings who is boss! I’m not sure if I mentioned but this weekend, I am going to…

  • What do you like about You?

    I saw this post today — thought it was a cool idea for all of us to do.  Take time to keep a running list of things you actually like about yourself. It can be made Public or kept private. It’s up to you — Reading that also reminded me of this quote: The more…
