  • Deadlifts and Handstand Push Ups – The stuff I was made for

    Yes, one of the CrossFit Girls showed up today. Diane made another appearance. She’s one tough chick but for the most part, I like her because it is shoulders and upper body. Which anyone that takes a look at me can tell — this is the stuff I was made for. I wasn’t born with…

  • Workouts – A lot like life, rolling with the punches

    CrossFit hands are known for their roughness. For some, it’s a sign of hard work — for me, it’s just painful. One of my fellow athletes, Brad, recommended that I soak my hand in warm, soapy water for 10-15m, until my the blister/callus turned white. Then take a butter knife and slowly slice it off.…

  • CrossFit Workout: Tabata ‘Ouch’

    Been a crazy long weekend — Family Fun Fest, A friends house for an outdoor movie night, extra CrossFit training session, A birthday party. Someone stop the bus, I want to get off! Seriously — there was very little down time. This is the last week before school starts for the kiddos too. Hard to…

  • A pleasant Sunday with CrossFit

    Yesterday one of my CrossFit pals, Sven was nice enough to spend a few hours with me at the box to help me with some of the things I am struggling with. We invited along Lori and Kim to work on kipping pull ups, power cleans and muscle ups. Even though it was a skills…

  • CrossFit and Cardio

    I have been bringing my kids in for the free sessions of CrossFit Kids at CrossFit Impavidus.  They LOVE It. Even after a full day of camp, both of my kids are excited to go. That makes me really happy. Yesterday, they had to do a 5m AMRAP with 5 front squat/ball toss and 3…

  • Worn Out WOD

    I gotta be honest — I am feeling overwhelmed. It’s the busy season for my company, and especially my team which handles new parents enrolling their families in online schools. As a fellow parent, I know it’s stressful sending the kids to school and I can only imagine the extra stress these parents are under,…

  • Hang Cleans and a Run — A Great Start to Monday

    It was tough getting back into the swing of things including getting up this morning. I really do believe not eating paleo has affected my sleeping. I have been waking up around 3a and tossing and turning for a bit before I fall back asleep. I hate that feeling of wanting to sleep but not…

  • 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…

  • Tabata This, Tabata That

    Tabatas were on the menu for today. Nothing like some intense interval training to kick start your morning. If you haven’t done Tabatas before — try them. They are a great thing to do if you are traveling — just need a stop watch to keep track of your time and go at it with…
