Cross Fit Virgin
For the first time ever I tried Cross Fit today! Mike D and I worked out together in “the pit” at Revolution Fitness in Boston, MA. So I still am not quite sure what Cross Fit is or why it’s gotten such a recent following but it was sorta fun.
We did 3 sets of 6 exercises. We started with vertical jumps like the one’s shown in this picture. We did about 12-20 jumps on...

Today's Workout
I’ve been rather lazy these days after my “weigh in,” I won’t lie. Today, I got to the gym and hopped on the Precor (elliptical thing) for about 25 minutes before the Pilates class started @RevFitBoston - Tomorrow I will kill it with Mike D again, I suppose.

Then why don’t you gain some weight? She mentions she wishes she had boobs to go with her hips but that still doesn’t make her statement any more believable. I didn’t even know she had hips to be honest!

Today's Killer Intense Workout
I was surprised at how warm it felt in Boston today! While walking into the gym, I decided to warm up running around downtown Boston instead of using the treadmill. After 35 minutes of leisurely running around Boston Common, the Charles River and down Comm Ave, I hit the weights. Here is the routine:
-Single Leg Backwards Lunge with Bicep Curl on a Foam Pad: I did 15-20 reps on each leg and a...

The title of these posts is to make you laugh and not take working out so seriously but in all honesty, here is what I did today:

Art, Wine and Dessert
Last night I went to the CoSo Winter Art show which featured “small works.” Who knew looking at art was something I would enjoy?
The CoSo (Copley Society) served Sarah Fit approved apps like fresh cut veggies with yummy red pepper hummus which may have been homemade, wine, and shrimp cocktail. They get an A+ in my book.
Dinner at Sorellina was ridiculously good. I got the arugula...

It started out as a 25 min run, and ended with a 40 min interval thing. Not sure if it was all the lunges and squats from yesterday or my hour long walk in my new ExerWalk shoes from Earth Footwear.. hmmm. Anyway,...
