I think we all can agree that CrossFit is a very challenging sport, almost impossible to master. There are always going to be movements we can do faster, thoughts we can control better and ways to grow stronger. I feel it (and hear it) quite often at the box, women feeling frustrated and confused in …
When I found out I was pregnant, I could not wait to be one of those badass pregnant moms overhead squatting with a still semi-heavy barbell in my hand. I imagined Crossfitting up to my due date and making sure I had that same barbell back in my hands after my six-week postpartum checkup. BOY …
Anxiety is common when you start working out somewhere new. Maybe you are a long-term traveler or you work in different locations or you just moved to a new city. Regardless of the reason, for some people fear of going to a new gym can be so severe that it interferes with just getting through …

If you log onto Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat, or Twitter, someone you know is right now bragging about his or her …

This was the beginning of years of seldom used memberships in fitness centers, boring and rare running outings and the ever present nagging feeling, I am not doing enough.

The other day I posted a video of one of my Bootcamp members doing box jumps during class. She was really nervous about doing them. I watched her think before attempting each jump, but no matter what – she did them! I was so proud of her, I mean cheesy smile proud. But what is …
