When Crossfit Games Open 14.1 was released, I remember hearing so many negative comments from people who were either unable to, or not very comfortable, doing double-unders and how it wasn’t fair that they programmed these in the workout. Ironically, some of those same people ended up not only getting their first DU last week, […]

Geez, it’s a week into March already? It’s hard to tell, since we have been continuing to live in the Polar Vortex in Detroit and the thought of anything above 30′ seems like it would feel like summertime! Another week gone by, and not too much new and exciting has been going on over here […]

I think just about anyone in the health and fitness blogging world has someone who they look up, whether it be for food inspiration, workout ideas, or just general aweseomeness.

I recently wrote about how Crossfit is dangerous because of the athletes themselves, but also how I experienced my own struggle injuring myself right around Thanksgiving. It led me to take a step back on my training and realize that I don’t *have* to push for PRs every time I workout. Everything is about progress, […]

Inspired by Alex at Alex Tries it Out, I thought I could at least commit to one fun blog post a week, talking about five random things on this Friday!
