  • Rainy Day Workout at Plumbline Training

    Dark rainy morning and yes boot camp was outside — there is something oddly great about being out there that early in the AM and working your ass off in rain. It’s bad ass! We are not frilly girlie girls — we are strong, tough ladies who look like girlie girls in our real lives!…

  • Start the week workout with 200m OH run – is it fun?

    Happy Monday right? As long as I have been getting up at o’dark thirty, you would think it would be easier but it isn’t. I still wake up on Mondays with the ‘it can’t be 5a yet feeling‘.  I get up anyway because I know I will feel great once I am there and then-…

  • Pre-weekend HIIT workout

    I thought my bicep muscle pull was feeling a bit better until I did my usual push-ups and then did a 90lb push press to start off my day. Michael – my trainer – let me go down in weight for the push press to 75lbs during the 2nd round. I am going to ice…

  • Morning Workout

    We finished today’s workout before the rain rolled in which is always a bonus! I think switching my rest day has helped me overall. Being able to get a few extra Zzzs mid week is not something I take for granted. I think I have a slight muscle pull in my left bicep which is…

  • Go ahead, try it!

    I went out on a ‘school nite’ -a rare occurrence for me. Recently we have had some new energy/new people at work and they are really bringing social back into the department.  There is nothing like hanging out with some early 20 year olds to remind you about the differences in perspective. It challenges the…

  • Workout Love now that Fall is here!

    A great fall morning — crisp and chilly. I love working out in this weather — and I love the fact that all of us boot camp ladies leave sweating our pants off. That my friends is a sign of a great workout.  I love living in Northern Virginia in the fall — we have…

  • A workout win for the week!

    A new routine met me at group today and boy it was a tough one. SOTTs presses are hard and for some reason I cant balance on the back of my heels. So imagine a squat and you are supposed to be holding a bar above your head, arms locked, and bring the bar back…

  • Bootcamp Workout

    Another great day, another good workout. I really do like starting my day with bootcamp and an activity that stretches and works my muscles. I highly recommend it! I saw some deer in my neighborhood and saw the most beautiful full moon on my drive this morning. All the great things you get to witness…

  • The How and Why I Continue On

    I recently came across this post and I thought – yeah shes so right. And while I do not do actual ‘crossfit’ certified workouts — they are both based on HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) and I work out with the most incredible group of women – who come from so many different walks of…
