Something Beats Nothing Every Time

So it’s been 10 days since I stopped the cut, went to Cuba on vacation and ditched counting calories in favour of what I would consider a major refeed. I learned a couple of things during this week, first that my strength takes a major hit when I am cutting, something that I have missed. […]

..is hard… Last week for gymnastics conditioning we completed a second legs and abs workout and a step aerobics like class for cardio involving blocks and lots and lots of jumping. The cardio day was basically a copy of THIS DAY but the legs and abs work was a little tougher. It was labelled as Legs […]

It’s not that I am avoiding the last WODs, that I hate the look of the 7 I have to do, not at all, I just was looking at the picture over on the right and knowing that the reason I was looking like that was the bootcamps I was doing. So I have decided […]

What is the most basic workout you can do to “survive” as an athlete? Injured, out of focus, surgery, distractions, University we all come up against times in our life when we need to get back on the wagon and maybe going straight to the gym isn’t the preferred method.
