  • Overhead Squats

    I had pizza this weekend — and once again, I find out how much it’s not worth it. I mean when I am eating it — i think, totally worth it. But the after effects, not so much. But for some reason, I don’t seem to remember that when the time comes to make the…

  • 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…

  • 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.…

  • Mother Nature switches it Up: Evening Workout for me

    I just got back from the 630P CrossFit Impavidus workout because of the weather this morning. I don’t like working out in the evening — my mind can’t seem to wrap its head around the whole concept of the workout and what we are learning and what we are supposed to do.  It just seems…

  • Weightlifting helpful for obese kids

    In-Your-Face Fitness: Weightlifting helpful for obese kids And this is exactly why CrossFit has a CrossFit kids program — It goes without saying that children who are obese would benefit from aerobic exercise. However, they’re likely to find the idea of going for a jog or spending half an hour on a treadmill about as…

  • Valentine’s Day WOD: aka ‘Barbara’

    Happy Valentine’s Day — i prefer to think of this day as a day to appreciate all the wonderful people in my life, instead of looking at it as the one day to be all gushy and lovey dovey. Every day should be like that when you are in love — Today’s workout on paper…

  • WOD + Challenge

    Today’s WOD at Crossfit Impavidus was all about kettle bells and box jumps! I am feeling yesterday’s WOD of Burpees and Dead lifts. I unwrapped my Foam Roller and used it to work out the muscles in my abductors/inductor area.  It’s like getting a painful massage — not sure where the joy is in that…

  • Deadlifts

    Woke up this AM to a nice thick layer of ice on the cars. My car is in the garage but my brother is in town for business, so his rental was behind mine and poor Scotty –he and I scraped the ice off the rental so that i could back out. As I have…

  • Champion of Health and Fitness

    Superintendent ‘fits in’ at Norris. We have to inspire and educate kids in being fit and healthy. The more schools that place value and encourage it — the better off we all are! I have given a online speaker session about ‘Creating Fit Families’ on behalf of K12 this past Fall: http://bit.ly/gKdYm7 Jumpin’, dancin’ and…

  • Double Unders are no longer Elusive

    Great workout at Crossfit Impavidus this morning.  Saturday mornings at 10a the team offers free WODs so people can come and check it out. They had another great turnout and it was a really fun WOD. We were broken in teams of 4 and worked as a group and counted reps. We named our teams…
