My Experience: So I want to backtrack a few weeks and share something fun with all of you! On Sunday, July 3rd I attended an International Jump-Roping Competition. Other than, really random, it was wicked tight, freakin’ fantastic, and totally rockin’. I don’t actually talk like this, but I want you to fully understand how cool this event really was. Before seeing the performances (aka before my jaw dropped and I couldn’t help but hoot and holler), I still classified jump-roping as a 4th grader’s pastime. But after watching several teams perform freestyle routines and Double Dutch explosions, I realized a whole world I had been missing out on.

CrossFit IS Fitness!!
I have another new experience to share with all of you. It starts with a “C” and ends with “rossFit.” Wouldn’t you love if all your crossword puzzle clues were that straightforward! I’ve actually participated in this new, awesome, legitimate, intense, work-your-bod-INTO-SHAPE fad workout two times now. Once was with a FREE group class on Saturday at 9:00AM at Westlake Crossfit. The other was 1v1 personal training with Conner Moore through Woodward Crossfit. But before I jump into a few details, here’s some background for you. Feel free to get your gel pens out and take notes.

Extreme Foam Rolling
I don’t know if I’ve been out of the loop for some time, but I just learned about an activity/technique called “foam rolling.” And no, we’re not talking about how Granny gets those perfect curls in her hair. It’s actually a self myofascial-release that relieves some of the tension along trigger points in the body. That’s right my friends, myofascial-release! I’m sure few of us know exactly what this means, or even know how to pronounce it for that matter. Nevertheless, I’ll try to give you a better understanding of what it is, what to use, what it feels like, and where you can try it!
