Live Fit and Sore

  • Listening to your Body

    I should have listened to my body this morning and stayed in bed. I just didn’t have it in me to push this morning — but I am glad I went. If you don’t follow the CrossFit Games open, the 2nd workout was announced last night. It’s the Snatch! It’s a hard lift for sure–…

  • I love the Feeling of Tabatas in the Morning

    I love going to workout in the AM. It’s like hanging out with your friends for an hour every day — we laugh, support and egg each other on. Today was no exception — and I liked the workout! It was one of those basically using your body weight and going at it hard –a…

  • If you aren’t in it to win it, you won’t

    As great as the competition was on Saturday, it left me wiped out. My shoulders and traps are tight and sore. Who would think that burpees could cause so much uncomfort? They seem so innocent but doing 10 a minute for 7 mins is just carazy!!  On the CrossFit Games scoreboard – there are athletes…

  • CrossFit Games 12.1 Workout – Complete!

    I’m pretty much wiped out from my workout today. I did the CrossFit Games Workout 12.1 – 7minutes of Burpees. Total reps is your score. I do not like burpees — I was all excited/nervous gearing up for this workout. Not sure why — it’s a competition and I guess that’s normal. I also in…

  • Ah Yeah! Burpees!

    I struggled a bit with today’s workout. The feeling of having to struggle through a workout is not something I enjoy obviously and think I should have dropped the weight at the onset so I could get through it without it feeling like torture. There is next time… So I am sure most of you…

  • Get ready for the Reebok CrossFit Games!

    It’s amazing how much better I feel when I eat properly. It’s like night and day. Yesterday, no non-paleo food was eaten and I woke up feeling great. The past week or so I have woken up feeling groggy and sluggish and it carried throughout the day. My stomach was not right either. Today —…

  • Your Mind: your best friend or your worst enemy

    It’s a Monday Like day for most of us after the holiday — my kids were sluggish and slow to get up and out of the house on time this morning and it was chilly on my way to workout – which means I have to dig deeper to head out the door. Today’s workout…

  • Fairview Cemetery – Memories from my Childhood

    Small group today at our 6A because of the holiday — and it was totally my kind of WOD. Warmup 400m jog 25ft bear crawl x3– wall walks superman/hollow rock — 25ft bear crawl Skill Squat Therapy WOD x3 10 Pull Ups 20 Push Ups 30 Sit Ups 40 Squats time: 9:24  So, Whitney Houston…

  • Saturday Workout

    The weather is incredible this morning — and my day started early with a special staff meeting at CrossFit Impavidus. Then I stayed to do a coach’s workout at 9A that was tough — and at 10A, everyone came for the free workout and my friend Kim was there — so I did a modified…

  • It’s Friday — the best day of the week.

    Today’s workout was the kind that when I saw it posted – just seeing it made me sore! 20m AMRAPs may sound like nothing to those used to being on a treadmill or elliptical but in CrossFit, they are nothing but brutal. Today was certainly no exception — Warmup 400m jog –x3 10 Squats 10…
