Two Extremes
Thanks for the comments on yesterday’s post. It wasn’t easy to put that out there for everyone to see/read. I’ve never been comfortable talking about weight and I wasn’t sure what to expect.
And in keeping with the “shrink my ass” theme, today’s workouts were AWESOME.
Any day that I see an RX next to my name on the board at Crossfit I have to take a picture:

In fact, I’ve only RX’d twice, and they were both workouts with double-unders. Interesting…………
The cool down involved jump rope, too, and after that I tried our gym’s “double under challenge”. After 6 minutes of singles, you do the max amount of doubles you can do in 3 minutes. (my calves are so mad at me from all the jump roping!)
But you get your name on the board if you finish 100+ in those 3 minutes. I did 75. So close……..but not really.
Luckily I love double-unders (weird, I know), so I’m determined to get my name on the board. And soon!
I went to Crossfit this morning before work because I had plans after work to hit up the new barre studio!

Talk about extremes.
I went from heavy lifting, grunting, and slamming of weights this morning to 2 pound weights, pulsing, and no shoes tonight!
I swear these workouts are the perfect compliment. One helps build my muscles and the other helps lengthen and tone. Perfect!

Jess, me, Tabitha, and Alana before class tonight.
I had gone to a class Monday night, but tonight’s was KILLER. Like, my quads are still shaking – and it’s 2 hours later. I love a good burn, and tonight’s class did just that (and more!).
I have more to talk about regarding Pure Barre, but I think I’ll leave that to another post. I have a lot to say.
What was your workout like today? Did you pull a double like me??




I think when you do doubles it’s important to vary the intensities – so to do crossfit then barre – I call that smart thinking
it’s all about balance, right? but pretty hilarious you do ballet-ish & grunt-lifting all in one day! i have a lot to say, too…liking pure barre a lot!
I just bought a Groupon for Pure Barre and I am NERVOUS!!!
We have a Pure Barre here and I still haven’t gone! I’ve heard its amazing. Yesterday, I taught Pump in the morning and went to a stretch class over my lunch break. Good stuff
Oh my gosh, I can’t WAIT to hear your thoughts on barre!!! you knew I’d say that tho hehe
oops I think I did 3 workouts yesterday. Spinning before work, pure barre after work and then went to play volleyball.
So nice to see you at Pure Barre yesterday, I’m loving those classes
I’ve been wanting to try Pure Barre-I’m eager to hear what you have to say!!
I love barre workouts! I wish I had one closer to me…
Ahh!! I didn’t know you were trying a barre studio!! I LOVE THIS!! Talk about extremes is right, but I think you are right, total complement to each other for the most part!!! Can’t wait to hear more
