Crushing CrossFit Workouts

  Happy Friday! This is Luke tuning in with another CrossFit update for the week. This has been one of my busiest weeks of college this year. I know I said that last week too, but I swear that every week gets busier as we progress throughout the year. I spent last weekend at my desk studying and grinding for three tests on Tuesday. This was not the most ideal way to spend my weekend, but I can confidently say that my hard work paid off on my tests! There is nothing more rewarding than working your butt off on studying and getting all the grades back that you wanted.  This analogy ties very well into CrossFit as well. You begin the workout, push your body to the limits, and by the end you are very satisfied with what you just accomplished. I am going to talk about this past 'Workout Wednesday' because that was the hardest workout we did this week. Like I said in my first blog, Workout Wednesdays are always partnered workouts, which makes it pretty fun but also twice as hard....

                                                Hello there! Are you as excited as I am that it is almost the weekend? I don't know about you, but this has been one of the busiest weeks have had in my three years of college so far... Yikes! I will spare you all of the little details on why my week has been so busy, but I have to say that Business Law is no joke of a class.  My favorite CrossFit workout of the week was on Tuesday. I believe that this was my favorite day to workout because it was my busiest day. I started off my morning with a Business Law Exam at 9:30 and had two presentations in the afternoon. By the end of the day, I was very tired and a little stressed out from my day. On top of my plethora of schoolwork this week, I have also had a lot of obligations in my extracurriculars. I run a couple different social media accounts for some organizati...

Happy Friday! This is Luke here tuning in to tell you about my favorite CrossFit workout this week. One of my favorite days of the week at CrossFit is Wednesdays. The reason I look forward to this mid-week workout is because it is always a partner workout day. This means that you get to do the workout with one of your friends and incentivizes you to work in a team setting. Out of my friend group at Baylor, I am the only one in my group that goes to CrossFit workouts. This has gotten me to broaden my friend range and make new friends through group workouts at the gym for the past few years.  This past Wednesday's workout was great. For starters, I would like to mention that I was pretty stressed and tired before I went to the gym that day. With the school year well on its way (as its Mid-September now), there is a lot of pressure to complete projects, study for exams, and to engage in all of the extracurriculars that comes along with being a college student. This was a day in partic...

 Hey there! Welcome to my new blog. My name is Luke Aubert and I am a senior at Baylor University. I am originally from Grand Junction, Colorado and I love to mountain bike, ski, and trail run. Here in Texas, there are not nearly as many outdoor activities for me to do in comparison to Colorado. So, I have picked up CrossFit as my main form of exercise while I am at school in Texas.  I have been doing CrossFit for awhile now. I took my first CrossFit class when I was in 6th grade and loved it ever since. What I like most about this type of exercise is that it is always a full-body workout with weight-training and cardio.  For my entire life, I have been very invested into fitness. I believe physical exercise plays just as an important role as exercising and growing your knowledge through school and reading. Furthermore, I believe that exercise is a tremendous way to manage stress and keep great mental health. Exercise, in my opinion, is one of the best factors in gaining ...
