Working on my 30′ Plyo Box Jump
So — what do I want to talk about today. I did of course get up and go workout but I have to say that I almost talked myself out of going. This is still something that I fight some mornings! My eyes opened at 455A and since I still have 5m to ‘hang’ out…

Platinum Sit Ups
This morning started off great. It’s cold and blustery but at this point — it is winter so it’s expected and no excuse for missing my workout. It was 2 15 minute circuits and of course kicks your butt! One of the exercises we did was a platinum sit up. You need some heavy dumb…

Snow!
Today is my rest day –and we got some snow so the kids are delayed by a few hours so we all slept in a bit. I did head over to Crossfit Impavidus last night before the snow got bad. It was a good workout — we did a good solid warm up first, then…

Checkpoint Push ups
I wasnt feeling so hot this morning because I didn’t sleep so well. Kept waking up and tossing and turning. Not sure what thats all about — normally I sleep like a baby. I wonder if it’s part of my gluten detox. Today at boot camp, Mikey lowered the weights on the hang snatch squat…

Pull Up Workout
It’s cold here in NoVA and we may see some snow tomorrow! One of the things I try to do is stop and appreciate what’s around me on a regular basis. When I lived in Tucson AZ in the 90s, I remember how beautiful their sunsets and sunrises are – like something out of a…

Double Unders and Plyo Box Jumps
I headed to a special essentials class at Plumbline Training today to help improve and/or learn how to do Double Unders and Plyo box jumps. I recently improved greatly with the plyo box jumps — you jump on and off the plyo box in quick succession – on off on off. The Double Unders is…

Using the BOSU
I have been fighting a bug the last few days and it has not been fun. Extreme fatigue, no appetite, bad stomach — I start to feel better, resume ‘life’ and it comes back. With that being said – I did head to workout this AM but it was not my best performance — I…

Checkpoint Push-ups
It was a doozy workout this morning — hard hard hard workout that didn’t quit. Lots of shoulder and arm work. I have not been feeling so hot the past day or so but I felt better so I headed to boot camp as usual. Boot camp is structured into levels — purple, silver and…

Getting in Shape—the Soldier’s Way
Weds is my rest day — and I seem to be detoxing from the wheat/gluten. I’m super tired and fatigued and just feel overall sluggish. Kind of like not having a cup of coffee. Getting in Shape—the Soldier’s Way – WSJ.com. Instead of indulging in the holiday-season office cookies and after-work cocktail parties Kristen Silverman…

Squat Thrusts
It was tougher to get up this morning than yesterday. Getting back into the swing of things is tougher day 2 because your body had no idea what was coming on day 1. Add in about 100 pull ups, some lunges from yesterday’s workout and you have the recipe for staying in bed. That’s when…
