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…

Good Posture Homework
One of the things I love about CrossFit Impavidus is that depending on the coach, you learn different skills. They have a coach, Nate, who likes to teach mobility and Olympic lifting – we have a great trainer, Laurie, who trains those wanting to do triathlons and is a runner herself. Jerry is a former…

Deadlifts & Pull Ups and Fun – Oh My!
Have you seen some people who work out all the time and you can tell they are super strong but they still have the extra weight around their mid section? This used to be me. It was so frustrating too. I just couldn’t get my head around how this could be — I know I…

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…
