  • Friday Group Training with Planks

    I am still nursing my self diagnosed pulled muscle in my left bicep, so Mikey and I both agreed to lower the weights when using that arm. It does feel better but when I put direct weight on it, I struggle. I need to make sure I am getting full range of motion when doing…

  • WOD includes weighted jump ropes

    A shout out to my pal Chandra, pictured in orange to the left — she is taking a 6 week leave from boot camp for some surgery. We are going to miss her terribly. She is one of those people who adds joy and fun to the group and her absence will be noticed! Get…

  • Workout to start your week

    Plumbline boot camp was the same routine we did last Thursday — and it was hard, challenging and I did not finish. I managed to complete half of Round 6 when time was called and it was already past camp time – so I stopped there. I still burned more calories than I have in…

  • Power Workout

    Frost greeted me on my car windshield for the first time this season as I headed out the door this AM. And although I happen to be one of those people that like the chillier weather, I can’t say I like to see signs of it at 5AM. I had to find my car scraper…

  • Monday Monday Workout

    I’m feeling better but not at my 100% but of course -well enough to get my butt out of bed and head for a workout! And of course I had to bang my shin on the metal barbell this morning -leaving a big bruise on my leg. That is such a ‘Stephanie‘ thing to do.…

  • HIIT Workout

    There are some mornings during my workout I think — What the heck am I doing out here at o’dark thirty, freezing my ass off running with a 45lb sandbag over my shoulders? Does it really have to be this hard to stay in shape? Probably not –but it wouldn’t be nearly as fun. See…
