At least half of the reason I go to yoga is to do hip stretches (and work out the IT Band kinks). If I don’t have time to yoga, I will almost always do bound side angle, dragon, and pigeon after working out to keep myself limber (occasionally, if no one is around, and it’s [...]

Better-lookin’ jorts
I have a pair of jorts that I’ve had for quite some time. Since my eBay buying phase, when I ordered a pair of Hollisters that were too short for these long legs. Probably early college, let’s call it. They have fit me more or less the same way since then, as my shape may [...]

Whoops
An update on my Wendler 5-3-1 … it was going awesome, until I skipped an entire week of heavy weights while traveling and then attempted new 1-rep maxes. This is apparently a poor choice, as I failed in every single one. The good news is, I now know what it feels like to bail on [...]
Seven days of yoga
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the last week of yoga boot camp with Ashley Turner was absolutely phenomenal (5 days yoga boot camp + 2 days of Vinyasa flow). I can’t say it changed my life, because my life is changing all around me with or without this yoga, but it [...]
Wendler 531
I’m doing it! Just finished week 1. Pretty excited about it. Still yoga-ing a lot too. I think they work well together. Hit it hard, stretch it hard? Also funny: how this article: i-heart-powerlifting-and-im-not-bulky-or-masculine went totally viral in a day. CrossFitting women all love powerlifting. I love powerlifting too. What was it about this particular article or [...]
I am that blogger
You know, the one that’s about to apologize for not blogging. Last weekend, I went to the BlogHer conference in San Diego, where I could NOT get enough of the ocean. The smell, the sand, the salt, the sounds … I love love love the beach. I did yoga once, worked out once, played football [...]
Hot Yoga
Excuse me for not writing much here recently, but lest you were worried, I have been working out. I joined the Arjuna Hot Yoga studio in Aspen for a month of unlimited classes. I’ve already taken 4, and BOY are they tough. The studio does more than just Bikram at 105, they do Vinyasa, Fusion, [...]
