So today was Crossfit Quantum’s Open House so it was definitely NO surprise that I was going to show up. I have been waiting for this for months. It is a great space, very intimate with lots of potential. I love their pullup bar stations. Unfortunately (haha!) the epoxy was still curing so we didn’t [...]

So today I went to Strength Box for my second workout at that location. It is a gorgeous space. If I had a million dollars… So Greg and Liz took me through a brutal workout. Getting extra attention sucks sometimes because there is nowhere to hide. First we did some MovNat style stuff working on [...]

So it would appear by my infrequent journal entries that I’ve been a complete LAZY ASS…and that isn’t entirely true. Here’s what my training has looked like over January and February: Burpee Challenge – starting January 1st I started the burpee challenge. I am on Day 51 today which means I’ve accumulated 1,326 burpees so [...]

Well I woke up Christmas day feeling completely crippled mostly in my upper body and sick as a dog. My sister actually has some anti-biotics kickin around her house so I started taking them to clear out the green infested crap in my lungs.
After challenging Liz to do Pukey Brewster I didn’t want to [...] -

Cynthia Roulston wrote a new blog post: California Dreamin’ Part 1 Tuesday, December 22, 2009
So I finally arrived in Carmel, California yesterday after basically 24 hours of travel. It was NOT supposed to take that long and required me spending over 16 hours in the Philadelphia airport. Needless to say I arrived and felt exhausted and definitely like I was getting a cold. My eyes were red, heavy and [...]

Today ROCKED! I woke up feeling slightly better today but I still feel like I am fighting a cold. WoooHooo! Alicia and I ran to Garland Regional Park which is a 3 mile run from my sister’s house. We did a light 7minute jog to warm-up and then for the rest of the 3 miles [...]

I’ve got some previous wods to catch up on which I will do later.
My California personal bootcamp adventure continues. As the year 2009 winds down I am squeezing in the type of wods that terrify me. Unbeknownst to some… I hate 2 things more than life itself – airsquats and pullups. So today I decided [...] -
Cynthia Roulston commented on the blog post For those who roam…
Nice work Aimee! You have inspired me so this is what I am going to do today in Cali. I am calling it “All the things I hate”.
My two most hated on exercises are squats and pullups. There is a pullup bar at my nephew Andy’s school which is less than a 5minute walk from [...] -

So today was super fun. Met a bunch of Crossfitters at East York Collegiate and did 4 stations/1 minute at each station with 1 min rest at the end of each round. Did 3 rounds total. Stations were:
1. Wall ball
2. Burpees
3. Situps (atomic-like on park bench)
4. Kettlebell swings (16kg – really need to start using [...] -

I was supposed to go yesterday but felt too exhausted. So today Carl and I went to a 7:30pm class and it felt pretty good. I drank less water this time so I am feeling less and less panic-stricken when I am there. I can feel my flexibility improving although I still feel like I [...]

Cynthia Roulston wrote a new blog post: Just Gettin’ By Tuesday, November 24, 2009
So after a full day of teaching, coaching basketball for 2 hours afterschool and before school, carpooling a coworker home (after picking up her daughter from daycare) I felt pretty useless. But I am determined to start following what I think is a very reasonable workout scheduled… so I had to do SOMETHING even if [...]

Cynthia Roulston wrote a new blog post: This sucks! Monday, November 23, 2009
Well I know I am not going to get any sympathy…. but f–k I feel fat! Today’s workout was fun because I did it at home alone and I am always impressed with myself when I can feel like I really pushed myself the same alone as I would have in a group. Although I [...]

Well this fall has turned out to be TERRIBLE for training but I am hoping today marks the start of a better winter
I was meeting up with Aimee to do a wod that I thought would be at my house… and then I got wind of Sio, Leah, Greg, Ryan and Alice wanting to [...] -
Cynthia Roulston wrote a new blog post: Static Power Friday, November 6th, 2009
So today was the first time in a looooooooooooooong time that I have done anything strength-based (practicing pullups on the monkey bars at school during my morning yard duty shifts don’t count!).
It was the first time I worked out in our basement since I cleaned it up and put the mat down.
I decided to [...] -
Cynthia Roulston wrote a new blog post: Hot Yoga Wednesday, November 4th, 2009
So I’ve decided part of the reason I suck and am stagnant in some areas of my lifting performance is because my flexibility sucks ass! It is embarrassing. I can’t even do child’s pose which is one of the most basic, relaxing feel-good yoga movements you can do! My quads, hips…entire body is a rock… [...]

Cynthia Roulston wrote a new blog post: So out of shape… Saturday, November 7th, 2009
I’ve had the h1n1 blues as many of my grade 4 students have had it. I actually don’t think I have had it yet but I did get a cold that turned into a bacterial infection in my lungs. My poor lungs are really susceptible to infection after last year’s damage from chronic bronchitis and [...]
