I’ve gone through several different cycles of understanding about this injury. First, The Facts Monday night one week ago today in hot yoga, I…
I LOVE these designs. Inspirational messages printed backward so you can read them in the mirror. From I Am Athletics. My only gripe? This is my fave, why’s it only on a men’s tee?? … I guess I can order it and wear anyway, so it’s kinda unisex. But still. I need a serious budget…
Oh, hello, we haven’t talked about The CrossFit Open Sectionals in awhile, have we? In light of yesterday’s announcement, let’s talk. Here’s WOD 1, known by the cool kids as 11.1. 11.2: AMRAP 15 minutes: 9 DL (100#), 12 pushups with release, 15 box jumps (21″). I filmed on my own. It still hasn’t been…
X Games is in full swing, and so am I! … ok, so maybe you won’t win a gold medal. But Gretchen Bleiler (I have your snowboard pants, Gretchen!), Chris Klug, and Peter Olenik train with RipCore and win gold medals, so … For more X Games info, click here!
