I love Met-cons
It’s no secret, I really do love a good Met-con (metabolic conditioning) workout. Yesterday at Studeo 55 satisfied my need to sweat perfectly. The workout was right for me…
DetailsI love Coaching CrossFit classes
Since February 2012 I’ve been actively training/coaching people at the Fitness Town Sunday “Funday” Throwdowns. One thing that I’ve realized from the past year is that I absolutely LOVE coaching! Seeing the changes in people’s health, wellness and fitness is incredible. I can’t get enough of it and this morning I coached my first class…
DetailsToes-to-bar I think I hate you
Toes to bar are one of those movements that beats me down! I hit a point where I can’t do more than 2 – 3 reps unbroken and I feel like I’ve hit a wall. Sounds a lot like moments in our real lives that seem to knock us down and take the proverbial wind…

DetailsTime to suck it up Buttercup (belief goes both ways)
”Your level of optimism is determined by how you explain things to yourself. Think positively.” ~ Brian Tracy Isn’t it funny how sometimes the advice we share with others should be said to ourselves? At times I catch myself saying negative sideways comments which serve no one, especially me. Nothing is ever gained by “poor…
DetailsThe first WOD post-Christmas is always the hardest workout
Post-Christmas workouts are brutal for the most part. Compound the effect of over-eating with being in bed sick for almost 2 and a 1/2 days, and the last thing on my mind was going in to do a WOD today… and you know me, that is OF COURSE the best and sometimes most obvious time…
