  • Sumo Deadlift High Pull Fun

    I’m going to take a rest day tomorrow — the workouts this week have been tough and my body is telling me to take it easy.  Today’s WOD at Crossfit Impavidus was no exception — Warmupx3 Jumping Jacks 10 35lb KB Swings 10 OH Squats 10 33lb bar 10 push ups Dynamic stretching Skill SDHP…

  • Valentine’s Day is for Indian Food

    Hope everyone had a great Valentine’s Day. It’s such a funny holiday to me — you find people who love the holiday, dress all in red totally embracing the romance and joy of it all and then those that refuse to acknowledge that it’s anything more than a regular day.  I’m kind of in the…

  • Who is this Murph? Not sure I like him —

    I woke up really late this morning – past 9A if you can believe it. It’s a combo of that time of the month and a few late nights combined with a little off paleo eating that seems to be making me feel this way.  So I got up and got dressed and headed out…

  • A Gym Where It Costs You to Skip a Workout

    A Gym Where It Costs You to Skip a Workout – NYTimes.com. This is going to be interesting to follow. Many people are simply not motivated enough by money to get moving. $25 bucks is pretty steep but probably the right price that would at least have some of those with good intentions to stop…

  • Stop, Clean & Jerk

    It’s important to stop and appreciate all you have daily. This morning – I included a pic of my kids getting ready to leave for school this morning. They bring me so much joy and teach me so much every day. I can’t imagine my life without these 2 rascals and I am glad I…

  • Crossfit Impavidus: It’s your box too

    Another Crossfit Impavidus training session this morning and my shoulders were not too pleased! I was also the only one that came to the 6A class so I basically had a personal training session with Nick. That is good and bad. You can’t really slack when the trainer has only you to focus on —…

  • Getting to know Kip.

    No falls this morning at Crossfit Impavidus – that was a bonus right there.  My friend Oy came to the 6A class & added an extra element of fun. And the same people are showing up to the class so it’s becoming more like home to me every day. I am really liking Coach Nick.…

  • Well hello, Fran!:Crossfit WOD

    Today I met Fran. For those familiar with Crossfit, Fran is a benchmark WOD. Long time Crossfitters all know their “fran” time. Fran: 21-15-9 65lb Thrusters Pull ups (green band assisted) Fran time: 6:35 Some caveats to my time: For some reason I had it in my head to power clean every rep in the…

  • Call me Dominque Dawes – NOT!

    After yesterday’s parallettes, my arms and shoulders are sore! I thought about taking a rest day today, but I am seriously having so much fun at Crossfit Impavidus that I wanted to get up and go.  Had I know we were going to do even more shoulder/arm work — I may have thought twice. Warmup…

  • Meet the Parallettes

    Today’s WOD was a bit different than anything I have done — Crossfit Impavidus incorporates gymnastics into their WODs which I personally think is awesome! Today I was introduced to the parallettes. My shoulders and arms are already hurting and its less than hour since we used them! Warmup 2x 20 air squats 20 Jumping…
