CrossFit Style Workout

No Comments

I haven’t joined CrossFit and it’s really close by. I cannot get over the cost compared to Ontario. It’s more than double. I love the CrossFit atmosphere and I miss it tremendously. As much as I’d love to join, to meet new friends — I just can’t take that expense on right now, especially since we have a free gym in our complex. Instead, I’ve been making up my own CrossFit style workouts: 20 minute arm workout // Speedy treadmill workout // 30 minute treadmill workout. Sorta.

My arms were still a little sore from the 20 minute arm workout I did the other day, but I put together this workout, not knowing how long it would take me. It’s been months since I did an intense workout like this.

CrossFit Style Workout, CrossFit, workout at home, You better believe I scratched out 150 squats and put it down to 100. Ain’t no way I would’ve liked that.

Workout faceI managed to complete it in 34 minutes. Can you beat my time? Do the workout and post your times in the comments!

How are you staying fit today?
I’m thinking of doing a 45 minute treadmill run. I don’t care how many miles/kilometers I do, I want to build up my running endurance.

How many days in a week do you workout?
Right now I only go 3-4x/week. Yikes.

What is your favourite type of way to workout? Cardio? Weights? Abs? A mixture of it all?
I really enjoy a mixture of weights, cardio and gymnastics. I love confusing my body and never plateauing. That’s why I love CrossFit.

What is your most hated of exercises?
I really disliked wall balls at CrossFit.

Alice and Olivia event + The Golden Gate Bridge

2 Comments

A few weekends ago, Jessica and I drove to San Francisco to attend the two year anniversary of Alice and Olivia store on Fillmore Street, in San Francisco. Alice-and-Olivia-San-Franci

Julia-from-Gal-Meets-GlamI gotta be honest. The only reason I went, is because I knew Julia Engel from Gal Meets Glam was going to be there and since I’ve been reading her blog for a little over a year, I wanted to meet her face-to-face. I felt under dressed. :) She was really nice in person, and thankfully easy to talk to.

lunch-at-the-groveBoth of us browsed around the store for a little while, meeting a few other bloggers. Then walked down to The Grove, which was recommended to us by Nichole. It was just a few minutes down the road by foot, so we easily filled our tummies quickly with a huge delicious turkey sandwich. We could’ve easily split it if we knew how large the portions were going to be.

Hills-of-San-FranWe walked back to the car which was parked up on the hills. I couldn’t stop reiterating how incredible the view was. Holy smokes that’s one steep road.

San-FranJessica is the best person to have around, seriously. Here I was, thinking we were driving out of town, and I was just snapping pictures like wild on my blackberry as she brought me to this fancy area of San Francisco.

Little did I realize we were on our way to see the GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE. My entire month … even a few months, had just been made. I’ve always wanted to visit the bridge!  The Guy had already went to view the Golden Gate Bridge when he was in the city, before we moved down. Unfortunately for him, it was a girls day this weekend and I didn’t invite him to tag along :)

Golden-Gate-JumpI was so happy, I had a permanent smile the entire time I was there. Jessica took this pretty sweet photo of me jumping. Man it looks like I’ve got some sweet air.

Golden-Gate-BridgeI cannot wait to go back and see that beautiful bridge again! The Guy and I are thinking of going there to take some photos of ourselves so we can print them off and send them as our wedding Thank-You cards! Kinda neat right? Maybe cheesy, but I think it’s a cool idea.

Have you ever seen the Golden Gate Bridge in person?

Have you met another blogger?

What’s your favorite type of sandwich?
