On the positive note, I found cutting down from sugary drinks was not that bad. First of all this is what I did for the first week, was to not add any sugar to my drinks. For example, I would drink my coffee light and sweet from Dunkin Doughnuts. I would not have them add […]
Remember every exercise and every little bit makes you stronger. As long as you’re doing the motion and engaging in the workout you’ll get it and get better. Remember the AMRAP stands for as many rounds as possible in the time frame. Wallballs take a medicine ball and squat then throw it up against the […]
Here is one of the goals, or tasks rather. Exercise or be active at least one hour a day. While CrossFit is counting for two of those days, the remainder still elude us. After all the call of the bedroom with the electronics and teenage void is very strong. We are always looking for ideas. […]
