  • A Gold’s Gym WOD

    We were invited over to a new couple’s home that moved into the neighborhood last night. What a fun night we had — lots of laughing, sharing stories, opinions — getting to know new people.  I love the meeting new people and getting to know them phase — it opens your mind up to new…

  • The Triple Dub: WWW

    I am posting this video because It reminded a few of us boot camp ladies of some moves we do at our workout — and we thought it was hilarious! It definitely has some cursing in it — and may not be appropriate for everyone. You are warned: White Women’s Workout from Adam Margolis on…

  • Working on my 30′ Plyo Box Jump

    So — what do I want to talk about today. I did of course get up and go workout but I have to say that I almost talked myself out of going. This is still something that I fight some mornings! My eyes opened at 455A and since I still have 5m to ‘hang’ out…

  • Platinum Sit Ups

    This morning started off great.  It’s cold and blustery but at this point — it is winter so it’s expected and no excuse for missing my workout.  It was 2 15 minute circuits and of course kicks your butt!  One of the exercises we did was a platinum sit up. You need some heavy dumb…

  • Snow!

    Today is my rest day –and we got some snow so the kids are delayed by a few hours so we all slept in a bit. I did head over to Crossfit Impavidus last night before the snow got bad. It was a good workout —  we did a good solid warm up first, then…

  • Checkpoint Push ups

    I wasnt feeling so hot this morning because I didn’t sleep so well. Kept waking up and tossing and turning. Not sure what thats all about — normally I sleep like a baby. I wonder if it’s part of my gluten detox. Today at boot camp, Mikey lowered the weights on the hang snatch squat…

  • Pull Up Workout

    It’s cold here in NoVA and we may see some snow tomorrow! One of the things I try to do is stop and appreciate what’s around me on a regular basis. When I lived in Tucson AZ in the 90s, I remember how beautiful their sunsets and sunrises are – like something out of a…

  • Using the BOSU

    I have been fighting a bug the last few days and it has not been fun. Extreme fatigue, no appetite, bad stomach — I start to feel better, resume ‘life’ and it comes back. With that being said – I did head to workout this AM but it was not my best performance — I…

  • Checkpoint Push-ups

    It was a doozy workout this morning — hard hard hard workout that didn’t quit. Lots of shoulder and arm work. I have not been feeling so hot the past day or so but I felt better so I headed to boot camp as usual.  Boot camp is structured into levels — purple, silver and…

  • Getting in Shape—the Soldier’s Way

    Weds is my rest day — and I seem to be detoxing from the wheat/gluten. I’m super tired and fatigued and just feel overall sluggish. Kind of like not having a cup of coffee. Getting in Shape—the Soldier’s Way – WSJ.com. Instead of indulging in the holiday-season office cookies and after-work cocktail parties Kristen Silverman…
