Motivation
In case your post-Cinco-de-Mayo Friday features as little motivation to work out as mine:
Sprints are back!
The sun is finally shining again in Aspen and I could NOT wait to get out onto the field for some sprints!! Nali and I ran 10 x 40M sprints and LOVED it. Both of us 🙂 Sprinting is awesome for you. Your body and mind. Then I hit the gym for some squat work…
Aspen: Spring Celebrations Announcing BlissFits Aspen Boot Camp!
As spring rolls around, there are lots of announcements: babies, graduation announcements, save-the-date cards, and so on. Since I have no news of that sort, I’m excited to celebrate a more Lyssa-like announcement: BlissFits Aspen Boot Camp! You guys know how much I love CrossFit, and sharing the word about fitness and how awesome it is. I’ve…
CrossFit Games 11.2-.4
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…
Review: Fila Body Toning System Toning Resistance Pant
I promised this review awhile ago but totally forgot! After my adventures wearing them for 14 hours in the airport, I remembered. 🙂 Originally posted at endlessbeauty.com, where I also explore if toning clothes are help or hype (hint: you know the answer, but it can’t hurt to wear them). With the proliferation of toning…
On Not Drinking
I’ve been in Austin for over a week now, playing and partaking in SXSW. This is my fourth year to attend, but my first to attend as a teetotaler: that’s right, I haven’t drank a drop of alcohol this year. Normally, SX is a time of free parties, free booze, free food, and serendipitous finds…
I <3 Red Black Gym
Y’all know I like my workouts to look like play … Nature’s Garage Gym was my own personal playground, and then I did workouts on an actual playground. Well today I got to return to my roots at the Red Black Gym (nee SicFit) with the 1:15pm class with Big Mike. LOVED IT! Warmup: lots of…
Day 9 of the HCG Diet
I’ve been at the 500-calorie part for a full week now. It’s still weird, but getting used to it. It’s hard when my friends come into today and we’re talking about dinner and I feel like I’m holding everyone back from going out to eat and going our drinking. It’s hard when I’m walking through…
I’m in the X Games!
OK, maybe not. BUT I am AT the X Games, last week, before they were the X Games officially, and I am trying out this new workout system called RipCoreFX, which X Gamers Gretchen Bleiler, Jen Hudak, Chris Klug, and Peter Olenik all use too. … not that I will ever, ever do anything as…
