“Quiet (West Coast) Warrior” commented on the blog post Post Turkey WOD
Yes… of course I broke it up – I’m not super human!!! I did 10/20/30 – 10 rounds. Was not bad at all. You’ll note I did only 100 push ups, instead of 200 al a Murph!

In an effort to sweat out a little too much indulgence over the past couple of days, I came up with this Murph inspired WOD this morning using some of the very limited equipment in the condo’s gym.
1000m row
100 push ups
200 sit ups
300 squats
1000m row
Time 35:20
The 2nd row was the worst… about 30 seconds longer than the [...] -

Awesome work Cyn… that is a lot of squats and pull-ups – you’re still as strong as ever!
Have an amazing Christmas! -
“Quiet (West Coast) Warrior” wrote a new blog post: For those who roam…
Today we did a great WOD that would work well for those with no CF home. It was in a Murph style so you could break up the middle any way you liked. For those who roam, you could sub the row for running to start it out and then all could be compelted at [...]

“Quiet (West Coast) Warrior” wrote a new blog post: On the road …
This week I’m back in T.O. for the first time since moving out West and am keen to keep up with with my workouts. Sunday was such a great day seeing the gang and enjoying the “blinding” Ontario sunshine for an outdoor WOD. Plus seeing Cyn’s home gym and hearing her home WOD plans inspired me to also commit to myself [...]

With the Vancouver dampness setting in, I’ve been craving chicken soup. Sourced some Kelp Noodles on my Thanksgiving trip to Portland.
For this recipe I sauteed some chopped garlic, onion, carrots, celery and mushrooms in some olive oil. Added about 1 cup chicken stock and 1/2 cup or so water [...] -

I recently managed to source some raw food wraps and crackers at Whole Foods in West Vancouver (check the raw food bar to see if your store has them). For breakfast today I used a raw tomato wrap which is basically tomato puree with spices that has been dehydrated. [...] -
“Quiet (West Coast) Warrior” wrote a new blog post: Tabata Hell
Today’s workout was Tabata squats with a twist. You were required to complete a total of 16 reps in each 20 sec interval with 10 seconds rest in between. If you failed to complete 16 you were out. Scoring was based on the number of rounds completed.
This was a brutal one, but a really good [...] -

Hot yoga is the best – Just stick with it and you’ll notice a huge improvement in your breathing and flexibility in a pretty short time peroid and it will for sure translate into your WOD”s.

“Quiet (West Coast) Warrior” wrote a new blog post: Running for time
I have to say that I’m enjoying running in Van as there is something so refreshing about the clean ocean air. I actually now like running WOD’s even if our course is uphill. I’m noticing good improvements in strength and have actually started running on the weekends on the seawall.
Today was a pure running WOD.
4 X [...] -

Warm up add on:
4 sets of 30 seconds Double Unders, 30 seconds rest – count your set with the highest number…. wait for it… mine [...] -
