Warm Up: 25 knees to elbows 20 push ups 3 rope climbs WOD: 50 tire flips 100 sandbag burpees Time- 13:57 I took an ARD (active rest day) today which means cut the WOD in half. I figured my best bet would be not to thrust a 50lb sandbag over my head with my shoulder bugging me so I opted to do regular burpees and WOD with a 20lb vest on :) burpees with a 20lb vest on was no fun and I told...

Possible Injury?
Ok so back in August 2010 I hurt my shoulder. Of course it wasn’t due to crossfit in any way. I am clumsy and hurt myself doing simple day to day things and not while I’m at the box lifting weight that most women at my weight wouldn’t think twice to lift. So back in August I hurt my right shoulder getting up from a nap. Yes I said it, I hurt myself getting out of bed. (Sometimes...

Anonymous asked: Just wanted to say that I really like your blog and you're totally inspiring. I'd like to try crossfit, but can't really afford it at the moment. I just go to a regular gym for now. Plus I don't know if there's any Crossfit gyms nearby. Anyhow, I'd love to ask you some questions if you don't mind helping me out with my goals. But first, do you know of any good...
