Fittest On Earth
If you haven’t yet seen Fittest On Earth, it’s an awesome documentary featuring games athletes and what they go though during the grueling 4 days at the CrossFit Games. Our very own Jacqueline is competing next week! I can’t believe it’s here already! If you don’t have the pleasure of heading to the Alliant Energy Center in […]
Logging Workouts
I used to be diligent about logging my workouts. However, as of late, I can’t seem to get back into the habit of logging workouts on Beyond The Whiteboard. Even now as I’m writing this, I’m realizing I didn’t log today’s workout! I made it my monthly goal to log EVERY workout on Beyond The […]

Instagram is no better, we assume that because it’s a social medial site, those photos are untouched. I came across this video the other day and am thankful I am surrounded by […]

Hero WODs
Great turn out for Memorial Day “Murph” yesterday! While I wasn’t able to do “Murph” yesterday, I have done it several times, and every time it is incredibly humbling. I came across an old article from the CrossFit Journal on “Murph” and the creation of Hero WODs. Check out how Hero WODs came to be […]
