It is a FREE open session for beginners ONLY. It will be just the beginners and the coaches, so that the coaches can work with us on a user-friendly WOD.

The session starts at 9am. If anyone would like to join us, please do! I…

..to everyone who replied or messaged me about Crossfit! It’s comforting to know that so many of you could relate to the anxiety & fear that comes with a new experience, but you all pushed through and really enjoy it. I will hopefully be going to the free class next Saturday and while I will probably spend a couple of minutes in my car taking deep breaths before going inside, i’m excited for the experience!

If anyone in Pittsburgh fitblr-land wants to go with me, that would be wonderful :)

YES, THIS.

switching gyms - crossfit?

Tue, 11 Dec 2012 21:44:00 -0500

my contract is almost up at my gym. giving much consideration to joining the crossfit gym here, but it’s 4x the cost of the gym i currently go to and, if i’m being honest, i’m scared. there is a free saturday workout as well as the on-ramp program, but i feel rather intimidated - which admittedly is not a good reason to avoid something, and if anything is even more reason to do it.

i would love it if you would send me a message about your first few times going and any words of encouragement or advice!

readytoconquer:

Take care of your body. As someone who partakes in sport, competition or just general training it is vital that we leave time for rest and recovery. Our bodies are our tools, our weapons. We pick up iron with our hands, strike with them, use them as leverage to glide through the water. Good…

One that understands the dedication, the lifting jokes and who can spot out stupid gym shit with me. Someone to eat massive meals with after training and who’ll spot me on bench. Where art thou friend?

Nerdy Healthy Things: Reading some of these asks on this website is horrifying:

“I just ate a granola bar. Is that okay?”

“Carbs make you fat so…”

“Is eating one square of chocolate after dinner tonight okay?”

“How long on the treadmill does it take to burn x calories?”

“I’m eating 1200 calories a day and running for 45 minutes on the treadmill. Will I lose weight?”

Odd was crowned the Strongest Man in America at the 1999 AFSA USA Strongman Champinoship in Las Vegas, NV. Odd was Hawaii’s Strongest Man in 2000, 2001,and 2003.

He is 61 years old! He’s flipping tractor tires, deadlifting cars, lifting 300+ pound stones, dragging 500+ pound anchors, and training harder than most 20 year old young men. Oh yeah, he was also running a business and raising a family. Gosh darn, age is not damn barrier!
I just love how he seems so happy too! I dont waant to get bitter as i age.

I love stuff like this! Such an inspiration.

Recovery is not something you can get cocky about. You may have been fine for years, but unhealthy thoughts & behaviors are insidious - they will creep in the back door when you aren’t looking. Do not let this discourage you. Use it as motivation to keep making your health a priority every single day. This is worth fighting for.
