… or, My Legs Are Too Sore and Bruised To Work Out Any More After a bike ride to and from town, which I will probably repeat tonight as I head in for a cookout and live music show, I hit the dog park and its bright green grass for an arm-heavy tabata workout. After…

WOD: 5s
A WOD from last week: 5 Rounds 5 jumpover burpees (lateral hop across stick) 5-second freestanding handstand hold (hard for me) 5 stick snatches 5 situps 5-10-5 yard sprint drill Time: 7:59 I made this up as a riff off of my new favorite site – Eva T.’s blog, where she posts a quickie, no-equipment-required…
15 – 10 – 5 in the SNOW
I cannot get over the fact that it is SNOWING here in Aspen. It’s May 12! The mountains are closed! What is the snow doing here?! Though tempted to use the cold and my inherent desire to be warm as an excuse not to go workout, the thought of seeing my river (yes, it’s mine…
Choose 3
Haha, from awesome blog Barbells and Bacon. The “Choose 3” situation is also fitting for today. ZT coached our class and chose 3 awesome things for our 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 WOD: 95# Thrusters (this is heavy and you’ll remember I knocked a tooth loose the last time I did thrusters) 30 inch box jumps (yep, that says…

Scaled Nights Out
Many people would call CrossFit an inside joke. Though it is simply a style of working out, its gyms and clients are notoriously cult-ish, while the sport itself has its own terminology — WOD? AMRAP?

First Impression: Free Crossfit Workout
So I hit up the free Crossfit workout Wednesday night, and it was a lot of fun. I haven’t been able to go back since, and I want to, because I think there’s got to be more to it than I experienced. I had fun, but here’s the breakdown: Wednesday was a team session. After…
FREE Crossfit Workouts
So I’m running around Town Lake last night and stumble upon one of my closest friends supervising a Crossfit workout … what?! Oh, you mean I should have read the email I got from you? … Anyway, point is: more free Crossfit workouts–yay! I’ve tried to explain Crossfit before and never been able to. I…
