5 reasons why YOU shouldn't try CrossFit :)
1.  You're probably better looking than me.Sure...this doesn't sound like a sensible argument, but keep in mind these are all reasons why YOU shouldn't try CrossFit. CrossFit has allowed me to discover muscles on my body that I literally never knew existed, and I'd be lying if I told you it wasn't the best thing I've ever done for myself aesthetically.Granted, in CrossFit, we don't care about what our bodies look like as long as they perform well, but it's worth noting that crossfit has moved me from FAR BELOW average....to...

10 Reasons Why You (might) Suck at Double Unders...
Here are 10 common reasons why you might suck at double-unders, along with some tips to help you get better... 1.  You Suck at Single Unders... The first step in having great double-unders is having great body position, and mastering the single-under.

Comment with your results, and Enjoy! Read more...
Episode #7 Sarah Martinez (part 2)
A couple things I'll mention about this episode... 1. We filmed this a long time ago to have an episode "in the can" so to speak, and I can already notice an improvement in my double-unders by doing these short workouts every week.  Add one of these workouts in here and there, and you're going to be doing GREAT in no time! 2. If you've never filmed yourself working out, I highly recommend it. It will help you see that you occasionally have sagging push ups, short air squats, or... Read more...
Episode #6 Shyla Briese
Today we had Shyla Briese on the show. She's incredibly fit, and had a great fitness tip for us. I hesitated to share this episode because I didn't do very well in the workout, but that would have kept me from sharing how great Shyla did, so I'm swallowing my pride, and posting it anyway. Whether you're at 0 double-unders or 200 unbroken double-unders, you're still lapping everyone on the couch.  I need to remember that for myself sometimes. Comment with your results! Read more...
