Just go to a “regular” gym and do some CrossFit. Or, not even some CrossFit, just some Olympic Lifts. Or, not even some CrossFit or some Olympic Lifts but a Burgener warmup with a wooden pole. Or, not even some CrossFit or some Olympic Lifts or a Burgener warmup but some simple shoulder mobility pass-throughs.…

Fructose?! Maltodextrin?!
Suppdate: what the hell?! The Cleanse I committed to includes Fiber Drink, Cleanse Supps, Probiotics, and Omegaplex, followed by MNS-3, all by Advocare. I’m ready to take my Fiber Drink yesterday morning to start off The Cleanse. This is what it says on the website: Fiber Drink / #W4062 / Price: $17.50 Available in Citrus…
Around the CrossFit Horn
A selection of my fave CrossFit and happy food posts from around the interwebs: Should there be weight classes for CrossFit? Pint-sized powerhouse Jen Cardella weighs in here. “Stop trying to Rx, you look like a pooping dog” (my translation) from Boone Putney at CrossFit Austin. Mail-order Grass-Fed Beef from Wall Street Journal (wonder how…
Tabata My Arms Off
… 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…
“Awkward Capri”
I often find funny keywords that led people to this site in my google analytics, but rarely does one of those end up in my “Top Searches” section! Enter “awkward capri.” … Now, I know for certain that I don’t WEAR awkward capris. Hell, I barely even wear capris, unless it’s for yoga and/or they’re…
Battle Wounds
What is it about a bruise, or ripped hands, or a gnarly gash from an olympic bar or a slide in soccer that makes us so proud? If we didn’t actually “hurt” ourselves (spraining an ankle, breaking a finger), we’re proud of the minor injuries. This isn’t just CrossFitters or hardcore athletes, it’s anyone. It’s…

Staring Up the Stairs
Man I miss training in a group.The workout I made up for myself today would have been a really fun one if I had been with my training partners. Instead, it was me and Nali, and although she’s close to human, it’s just not the same. I was even wearing my CC shirt … sigh.…
Soccer
Holy soccer, batman. Besides dabbling in intramural soccer on a grassy field not regulation size, I haven’t played soccer since I was 4. And I hated it. (I also hated my bowl hair cut, but I could only get out of one) Chase after the ball? Please, it should come to me. I digress. Point…
Here’s How I’m Gonna Un-Overtrain
If I’m even overtraining 🙂 Anyway, I’m gonna take on this 24 Day Advocare Challenge that Megan (and Alex … and Jess) is so pumped up about. I’ve only tried Advocare once before, during Spartan last year, and I didn’t think it made a huge difference. BUT so many of my friends swear by it…
