Before I tell this story, perhaps I should explain about Bleeker Street Gym. As I’ve mentioned on lifeinaspen.com, Bleeker is the meathead gym. It’s smallish, equipment everywhere, rubber floors, tons of dumbbells, a weight rack and a squat rack, 4 KBs, 1 jump rope, and a freestanding pull-up bar (no kipping here). I spend most of…

Hangover for Halloween (Workout or Booze?)
They just announced the workouts for CrossFit Central’s The Butcher Challenge I’m competing in on Saturday morning. Looks like Nature’s Garage Gem/Gym is good prep for most things, but a 1-rep max snatch? Sticks do not compare. Here are the workouts: WOD 1: Butcher push, pullups and bouldering: AMRAP 12 minutes. -Each team will be…
Yoga and More Nature’s Garage Gem
Still at the yoga, still loving it. Check out my silly video from EndlessBeauty.com’s My Chemical Breakup Challenge … Today in yoga I had a different instructor, which is always cool. We played around a lot with forearm balances and crow, which anyone who saw me try and fail to do handstand pushups at Sectionals…
The New Nature’s Garage Gym/Gem
We recently moved from ABC, home of Nature’s Garage Gym CrossFit ABC123 to downtown Aspen. I was afraid there’d be no more rock-hoisting, river-hopping, boulder-jumping workouts, but I need not have worried. This IS Aspen, after all. Yesterday, I ran gassers on the rugby field across the street from our new apartment. Particularly interesting as…
Airplane WOD!
I’m traveling today, back to the A for ACL and a lil EndlessBeauty.com face time, and you better believe I’ll be doing my mobility WOD on the plane! Another thing he mentions here that I find absolutely crucial to travel (since I fly at least 4 flights a month these days) is drinking water. Not…
50 Burpees
Vimeo is stupid for not letting me embed on WordPress. Or WordPress is stupid. Not sure which, but stupid. Here are my 50 burpees for day 50. They sucked, I’m not going to lie. 50 Burpees … I’m Getting Stronger from lyssa myska allen on Vimeo.
Buck Furpees, and oh, there’s some foliage!
This 100 Day Challenge sometimes annoys the crap out of me. Like, I’ve already gone to yoga, played 2 hours of sand volleyball, and I have to do 37 burpees? Some days, it’s my saving grace. Like, it’s 10pm, I’ve been working since 9am with no break, and it’s the only thing I could possibly…
25 Burpees
Woke up yesterday morning, rolled out of bed, and hit up my benchmark 25 burpees. 25 Burpees for Breakfast #100burpeechallenge from lyssa myska allen on Vimeo.
SicFit Basketball?
Or something like that … I immediately loved this WOD from SicFit Austin but knew that it would suck like crazy, so when I needed a pick-me-up today, I tried it out. I made a bunch of mods for my dog park and the fact that I finally found a rock that is heavy but…
