Our workouts are constantly evolving. Sonjia is always introducing new moves to keep us interested and challenged. Our “old” warm ups consisted of 3 – 5 rounds of old school moves – body weight squats, easy assisted pull ups, pushups, and sit ups. But I gotta say, our new mobility warm up feels SOOOOO good [...]
I was VERY excited to get back to my CrossFit class after my time off (due to health, family stuff, and overall sluggishness). Until I saw the board. Say WHAT? This is NOT what I had in mind for my easing back into my groove! I’ve heard of the Lumberjack 20 Memorial WOD – it’s [...]
I’ve always been quite proud of sharing a birthday with Lucille Ball. Of course I grew up with I Love Lucy, and enjoyed the show like today’s kids are hooked on video games. But as I got older, I learned to appreciate the Lucy Ricardo character along with Lucille Ball the woman. Today is Lucille [...]
Suzanne (Workout Nirvana) was one of my FIRST twitter friends, and we connected immediately. I love Suzanne for so many reasons, but here’s just a few: she’s VERY smart she exudes confidence her blog is packed with well-researched and outstanding fitness information she CELEBRATES feeling and being strong through weightlifting she’s mostly sweet, with a [...]
Despite my best intentions NOT to go, I put on my shoes 20 minutes before the class, drank a shake and some water, and headed to the gym to try one of Sonjia’s crossfit workouts. Deep down, I’m a couch potato, faint fearing, sissy. That said, this reluctant exerciser is giddy to really enjoy a [...]
Back in the day – before adjusting to my new empty nest and my low back injury – I was becoming pretty darn strong! I was working out with Sonjia regularly and doing a variety of full body, compound, high rep workouts. I LOVED getting stronger! I LOVED being able to work out longer at [...]
It’s been a slow recovery with my low back injury. But after some great progress, I decided it was time to make it back to Sonjia’s CrossFit class (after nearly 4 months). I almost didn’t want to write about this because what I actually did was VERY different than her prescribed workout (enter my pride). [...]
Well it’s been a few months since I’ve had my groove on. Hurting my low back in January definitely put a damper on my exercise routine – and that’s an understatement! Let me put it this way, it was one month before I could get out of bed without helping myself with my arms. Unloading [...]
When was the last time you REALLY mixed up your workouts? That’s the concept behind what has become a monthly workout swap with Suzanne @WorkoutNirvana. By mixing it up, we can break through plateaus and challenge our cardiovascular and muscular health in new ways. According to Livestrong, “Repeating the same routine week after week will [...]
Workout buddies hold us accountable and add some fun & motivation on days that I’d rather nap on the couch. I don’t really have any exercise partners at home (waaaaaaaah), but I’ve found oodles of friends through my social media tribe which I am VERY thankful for and are a source of ongoing encouragement. Even [...]
