Reebok Nano 4.0 and an At-Home Crossfit WOD

by ~jenniferlynn on August 14, 2014

in Sponsored Posts

The following post is sponsored by FitFluential LLC on behalf of Reebok. Since my minor little melt-down the other day at Crossfit, my coach had suggested that I take a bit of time away from the barbell (what?!), step back from Olympic lifting for a moment (noooo….), and focus on having fun. Well, I use […]

Crossfit Games Open 14.5: I can do hard things

by ~jenniferlynn on April 8, 2014

in CrossFit

I can guarantee that if you surveyed any Crossfitter and ask what his or her most-disliked Crossfit movements are, I can guarantee 99% of them will say burpees or thrusters, and probably nearly just as many will quote them both. While the first four Crossfit Games Open workouts passed, and not one of them contained […]

Emotional Roller Coaster Part 1: “The Seven”

by ~jenniferlynn on July 10, 2013

in CrossFit

I can equate Crossfit to so many things that have nothing to with it just being a workout. It is so much more than that. Some may call it a cult, a sport, a lifestyle. But for me, this week’s definition: an emotional roller coaster.

Sweaty Sunday Weekly Recap: Week of March 24

by ~jenniferlynn on March 31, 2013

in CrossFit, Running

And it’s another Sweaty Sunday workout recap! This week I beat myself up. Physically and mentally, just drained! Since I started doing the Crossfit Open Workouts (Check out 13.1, 13.2, 13.3, and 13.4), my desire and drive to become a better athlete has seriously increased ten fold. I don’t just want to go to Crossfit. […]

Sweaty Sunday Weekly Recap: Week of March 17

by ~jenniferlynn on March 24, 2013

in CrossFit, Working Out

I took my inspiration from Danielle at It’s a Harleyy Life and rather than posting about my workouts as they happen, I figure I’ll do one recap post a week for those interested in seeing how I chose to torture myself at Crossfit. I’ll still post about any workouts that stand out during the week if […]

Crossfit Games Open – Workout 13.1

by ~jenniferlynn on March 10, 2013

in CrossFit

I know a lot of my followers are runners, but don’t get too excited about the title of this post. The first workout in the Crossfit Games Open 2013 was cleverly titled 13.1 (I think because of the year 2013, first workout of the games), and did not translate into a half marathon by any means. 😉

Two WODs: One Day. (Alternatively called, “How Not to Injure Yourself Doing Crossfit.”)

by ~jenniferlynn on February 19, 2013

in CrossFit

From all of the runner blogs I follow, and many marathon journeys I have followed, it seems like a right of passage for runners is losing a toenail. Sounds gross, I know, but you runner folk know what I am talking about. Just as runners take pride in losing their toenails, I think the true initiation into Crossfit […]

Strong girls finish.. last?

by ~jenniferlynn on January 6, 2013

in CrossFit

Is it unreasonable to want to be the best at everything? Like now? Okay, how about not the best, but how about at least not last? I’ve been doing this Crossfit thing for just over two weeks now, and still, I come in last. All the time. I do not consider myself an athlete, but […]
