Crushing CrossFit Workouts

  Hello Readers! This week was pretty crazy leading up to Thanksgiving Break. I was only able to attend CrossFit one day this week, despite thinking that it would not be that bad of a week. Wow, was I wrong. I did not realize how many projects, tests, and assignments I would have due throughout the week! Yet, I had to make sure that I was getting workouts in to keep a good regiment going on and to make sure I was able to destress throughout the week. I am currently on an airplane flying back to Colorado for Thanksgiving. I am super excited since I have not been home since August! I cannot wait to see my family and my dogs. While I am home, I am planning on being outside as much as I can. It started snowing pretty early in Colorado this year, so I am hoping that I can get a good break to go hit the slopes and eat some good home cooked meals with my family. If I have time, I hope that I can go visit my old CrossFit gym, Ridgeline Fitness. That is where I found CrossFit originally and...

  Hello Readers, Thank you again for tuning into another weekly report of my favorite CrossFit workout of the week. This week was about finding balance. I had a good amount of presentations and assignments this week, but no tests. What was nice about it was that I had just enough work to keep myself busy, but also not enough work to keep me from procrastinating to the max.  This was a week of great CrossFit workouts. I had lots of time to be at the gym, and now that the weather is getting colder and more rainy, this gives me even more leverage to get out of my house do something productive at the gym. Even though I am still in training for a run in February, I believe that I will focus more on time to spend inside the gym for this week as the weather continues to change. I have been doing a great job of keeping myself accountable of going on runs and going to the gym, but now I believe I should shift my focus a little more to being more strict on my CrossFit workouts.  As...

 Hello Readers! I hope you all had a great weekend. This was a tremendous weekend to be a Baylor Bear because yesterday we beat The University of Oklahoma (OU) in football for the second year in a row! My friends and I drove from Waco to Norman for the game this weekend and it has been so much fun. It has been great to connect with friends that go to OU these past couple days and to represent Baylor all the way in Oklahoma.  This week, I attended a few CrossFit classes and have also been training to run the Austin Marathon in February. It has been a lot of cardio this week but I have also had lots of fun going to CrossFit as well. Like I have said in previous posts, I believe that having a good fitness balance (such as taking one day to go on a runs and the next day to go to the gym) is a great way to stay stimulated and excited about the workouts ahead. It gives you the opportunity to be social in different fitness settings and to also train your body physically in many diffe...
