  • CrossFit is Community too!

    Today’s workout was all about the team. I like switching it up and doing the workout where you rely on others to do their part — in order to come out on top! Warmup fun run w stops to do 10 burpees & 10 air squats Skill KB Swings WOD Team stations AMRAP 15m 50m?…

  • 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…

  • Monday Front Squats

    This month, Mondays are strength days. Just going to be honest here and say, they aren’t my favorite workout day.

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

    Today was another good day at CrossFit Impavidus. We had rope climbs during the WOD and I finally got up that rope using the scissor grip. That is SUCCESS!
