  • Get Ready for the Weekend Workout!

    Good Morning Folks! Spring is so close I can feel it. Today it’s supposed to be in the 70s here in Northern VA – I love this time of year around here. The signs of spring are all around and the cherry blossoms will soon be in bloom. It really is one of the best…

  • Attempting to Conquer the Cartwheel

    Happy St. Patty’s Day to all my Irish Friends! I gotta say – I have been feeling so great about life. I feel empowered and in charge & I don’t know what is so different in me that it’s causing me to feel this way, but I feel great energy around me. Good things are…

  • Gymnastics Fun at CrossFit Impavidus

    When people ask me why I get up so early to workout — it’s because of days like today at CrossFit. We did a bunch of gymnastics. There is something about learning how to do some of the things I struggled with as a kid that makes me giddy.  Where else can you go as…

  • CrossFit is Community too!

  • Stress or Exercise? Choose Exercise!

    Yesterday was a very long day — full of meetings and tons of information — so I was all wound up when I got home and decided to workout to let off some steam – yes I know it was a rest day, but sometimes you have a choice between being all stressed or exercising.…

  • Monday Front Squats

    This month, Mondays are strength days. Just going to be honest here and say, they aren’t my favorite workout day. I just like the feeling of a hard workout that combines cardio and strength to get me started with my week. I am really having to relearn squats related to lifting. I keep leaning my…
