  • Pump It Up: Eleven Tips for Exercising Regularly

    Pump It Up: Eleven Tips for Exercising Regularly I liked the tips this post gave about exercising. Some of the tips were a bit different than the normal common sense type ones.  This time in January, there are some of you that are still going strong with the commitment to make this year the year…

  • 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…
