  • Wall Ball Shots WOD

    It was one of those days when you look at the workout and say –oh that’s not so bad – but afterwards, all you want to do is lie flat on your back and never get up again.  Seems like a reoccurring theme with CrossFit. I often hear from people about how short some of…

  • Double Unders — Making some progress!

  • CrossFit KIDS is coming to Ashburn, VA

    One of the great things of CrossFit is that they realize that kids need to have a program too — to help them on their journey of lifelong health and fitness. The program is called CrossFit KIDS and it’s specialized just for them. Their description: CrossFit Kids is not simply a scaled down version of…

  • Death by Pull Ups and other things…

    Do you remember my friend Lidia who has always been one of my biggest cheerleaders and she moved to Nc? Well guess who made it to the National CrossFit Games?  Yup – Ms Lidia – Queen Bee herself. I am beyond proud of her — WTG Lidia! I have the most amazing people in my life…

  • After Mom’s Day Workout

    I had such a great day yesterday — the weather was perfect and stars were aligned. Scott and the kids let me sleep in — and I woke up to tulips and handmade presents, then Scott & I made a gluten free breakfast pizza together, did some shopping alone, napped, then went out for an…

  • Happy Hours are good for your health

    Part of taking care of yourself is having fun. We all get stuck in the grind of our lives — not really feeling like we have or want to put in the energy to go out and be social. I decided to start focusing on getting out there and meeting people, talking with them about…

  • The this ‘looks’ easy WOD

    CrossFit has these workouts named after girls — yesterday’s workout at CFI was ‘Angie’. 100 pullups, 100 push ups, 100 squats, 100 situps — no scaling, no splitting them up. Just get through it — I was bummed that yesterday was a rest day. You know you are hooked when you are sad you missed…

  • Strong Is The New Skinny

    Love this – Strong is the New Skinny Intimidated by CrossFit Women? That’s a Good Thing. Strong is the new skinny, and pop culture be damned, because we will no longer be constrained with an impossible ideal. We should approach our fitness experience like any other gym-goer and not be afraid of more. Stepping up the intensity…

  • Going Gluten Free

    Gluten-Free: The Low-Carb of This Decade? The slant of this is annoying — that you shouldn’t go gluten free if you don’t have a health issue bc  you could lose out on vitamins. If you are eating whole, clean foods –that shouldn’t be an issue. “Gluten-free” is fast becoming the “low-carb” diet trend of the…

  • Here’s to being fit!

    this is one of my most favorite people and who originally inspired and led me to try my first boot camp way back when – Melissa!!  At my friend’s baby shower yesterday, I was lucky enough to get to hang out with her! I miss getting my fitness on with her every morning — but…
