  • Make it Work!

    Today’s workout was brought to you by Coach Marc. It was his coach’s choice as he is leaving our box today to take on a new job and get ready for his wife to deliver twins. I think he may find himself a bit busy to coach — The first year or so of having…

  • Dead Hang Pull Ups For The Win!

    There is alot of discussion in the CF community around pull ups- continually allowing kipping pull ups instead of forcing athletes to do dead hang pull ups does the athlete a dis-service because they aren’t getting stronger, just more efficient. If you can do 100 kipping pull ups but not 1 dead hang pull up…

  • Crazy Workout

    Another crazy workout — and I am feeling yesterday’s big time. My traps are very mad at me for keeping my arms straight during KB swings. Now they tell me! Our workout was from the CrossFit Games Open  & it was challenging for sure Warmup 400m run 2x– 10 mountain climbers 10 Jumping Jacks 10…

  • Get It Done, Day after Day.

    It’s crazy what a difference 1 year can make. When is the last time you stopped and thought about where you are compared to last year? Is that the sort of thing you do on New Years Eve? I was thinking about today’s workout and what progress I have made. We did some work on…

  • Whole Life Challenge Wrap Up

    It’s been a really fun holiday season so far. We are coming up on the one year anniversary of CrossFit Impavidus and it’s just so great to see how the community has flourished.  Great energy, great people — a lot of fun.  I have a feeling these ladies are going to get me into a…

  • Gotta Love the Community

    I love the people I workout with – seriously. Just a great, fun group of people that support each other. The way I look at it all — if you can’t have a good time getting up that friggin early in the AM, then at times, its not worth it.  And what I really like…

  • Dead Lift Gorgeous

    Today is one of those days when I was excited to head to CrossFit (well, more than usual). Deadlifts! I like DLs — I can do DLs. Broad sturdy shoulders and strong core base come in handy! I needed a good heavy lift — it’s been a hard, stressful week here at the Hoaglund house.…

  • Pull Up & Knees to Elbow

    During the workout, Lani fell and hit her noggin. She got up but we all noticed the blood down her neck. So I too her to the ER! She ended up getting 4 staples and probably has a mild concussion. She’s resting comfortably on my couch waiting for her husband — She lost her grip…

  • Let Loose and Go Heavy

    I had a really fun weekend — its good to let your hair down and just let loose from life. We get so wrapped up in life — we all need to just go out with a group of good friends and laugh our asses off once in a while! Today’s workout was about lifting…
