Get Ready for the Weekend Workout!
Good Morning Folks! Spring is so close I can feel it. Today it’s supposed to be in the 70s here in Northern VA – I love this time of year around here. The signs of spring are all around and the cherry blossoms will soon be in bloom. It really is one of the best…

Attempting to Conquer the Cartwheel
Happy St. Patty’s Day to all my Irish Friends! I gotta say – I have been feeling so great about life. I feel empowered and in charge & I don’t know what is so different in me that it’s causing me to feel this way, but I feel great energy around me. Good things are…

Gymnastics Fun at CrossFit Impavidus
When people ask me why I get up so early to workout — it’s because of days like today at CrossFit. We did a bunch of gymnastics. There is something about learning how to do some of the things I struggled with as a kid that makes me giddy. Where else can you go as…

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.…

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…
