  • Dead Hang Pull Ups – oh the fun

    Yes, I am crazy. And yes, I got up and headed to the 6A CrossFit Impavidus class today. Yes, I am aware I went to the 730p class last night. Hey – I have a lot of stress right now and exercise is my way of dealing with it. Nothing wrong with that right? Warmupx2…

  • Stress or Exercise? Choose Exercise!

    Yesterday was a very long day — full of meetings and tons of information — so I was all wound up when I got home and decided to workout to let off some steam – yes I know it was a rest day, but sometimes you have a choice between being all stressed or exercising.…

  • CrossFit Workout – AMRAPpin’

    Small group this morning at CrossFit Impavidus – me and Colleen. I’m glad it wasn’t only me because as much as I like attention, I don’t like the individual attention during a hard workout!

  • Monday Front Squats

    This month, Mondays are strength days. Just going to be honest here and say, they aren’t my favorite workout day. I just like the feeling of a hard workout that combines cardio and strength to get me started with my week. I am really having to relearn squats related to lifting. I keep leaning my…

  • Saturday Workout at CrossFit

    I love that CFI has a free class for anyone on Saturday mornings that wants to try CrossFit. There is no hard sell — because for most, once they try CrossFit -they are hooked. No Hard sell necessary. My friend Tina tried it today. Her husband already joined and is a die hard CrossFitter. She…

  • Deadliftin’

    Oh deadlifts! It’s a love/hate relationship with them. They are Tough but you feel so satisfied afterward! Or at least I do — I also kept doing straight leg DLs instead of a straight up DL — so Coach Jerry would stop me and help me reconfigure — it’s amazing how hard it is to…

  • Wednesday Workout

    When I got to Crossfit Impavidus, I thought i was the only one for the workout. Thankfully Angela showed up so I didn’t have to face the WOD alone! It’s hard to have the coach just focused on you — trust me, it’s happened before and I don’t like it! Warmup 20 jumping jacks broad…

  • Good Posture Homework

    One of the things I love about CrossFit Impavidus is that depending on the coach, you learn different skills. They have a coach, Nate, who likes to teach mobility and Olympic lifting – we have a great trainer, Laurie, who trains those wanting to do triathlons and is a runner herself.  Jerry is a former…

  • Clean Squats are Hard!

    I can feel spring in the air. The birds are chirping and let me break out in song —- Today’s workout was one of the ladies: Elizabeth and at first glance, seems pretty reasonable. Of course all of these ladies seem ok on paper! Then you meet them and you realize, there is a lot…
