FITori Answers | All About CrossFit!!!

June 27, 2011 competition June 27, 2011

Hi Tori, Wondering if FITbaby arrived yet… if not, I have a question for you since you’re the most hard core athlete I’m aware of. Do you know much about CrossFit? I went to a community WOD today, and it was pretty darn amazing. I’m considering starting to go to the CrossFit gym, but it’s quite expensive. The people who go really seem to love it and think it’s worth every penny. I even have a friend who gave up cable to afford CrossFit. What are your thoughts? I’m seriously thinking CrossFit might be the BEST possible way for me to kick things up and really start taking my body more seriously. I’ve lost 100 pounds through basic diet and exercise changes but seem to ...

avoid a wedgie at the gym | Boy shorts!

December 23, 2010 fashion December 23, 2010

I saw this question asked in a magazine recently and thought I’d ask all of you…. How do you avoid a wedgie at the gym?! The question in the magazine was “How do you pick a wedgie discreetly at the gym?” Sorry, ladies, but I’m not so sure it’s possible, especially with all the cameras around at the gym!!! I thought I’d share my “cheap” wedgie solution with you all. I love Target…and if you don’t have one (we didn’t for a while and it was a tough time!) you can order online with free shipping!!! So, NO wedgies and NO panty lines!! Yay!! A little tip…once you start to sweat (and you should be sweating at the gym or you’re wasting your time!!) they’ll ...

My new ride!

April 7, 2010 competition April 7, 2010

My new ride!!!! I got the Trek 7.2 FX and I LOVE IT!!! I’ve ridden for at least an hour a day since the day we brought it home. I am enjoying my cardio… finally! Between my bike and some of the classes on base I’m having a blast with my cardio!!! Toby is loving it too b/c now instead of just rollerblading him I can take him on a bike ride too! He’s having a blast! I may get into road biking one day, but for now this is all I need. It’s comfortable. It’s smooth. It’s a GREAT time and GREAT way to get my cardio in (and my dog’s cardio). There are bike accessories I can get when I’m a mommy that ...

Best husband ever…

March 30, 2010 competition March 30, 2010

Please keep in mind that (as my BFF says) this is his “I know I’m the shit” face….so true! And, that he just got back from a long weekend of being TDY and had flown all day (he’s a pilot…so he actually flew). He was so proud of the shirt he found and was so excited to show me as soon as he got home. I HAVE THE BEST HUSBAND EVER!!! As Jim said, this gift was “better than flowers” which I had to laugh at but also agree…I now call this shirt his “better than flowers shirt.” (I hate flowers by the way…I’ve asked him to NOT get me flowers…I hate the work, the bugs, the pollen, etc….a story for another day.) This shirt ...

Shin splints & New Shoes!

February 23, 2010 fitness gear February 23, 2010

Shin splints….boo. That’s what I get for upping my cardio drastically (not gradually) and wearing old shoes. I won’t even tell you how old my shoes are. They were still comfortable, but appears they were not doing the job. So, I got new shoes today (see pic below) and even though I think they’re ugly, BOY ARE THEY COMFY!!! They have a wide base so they help to stabilize my supination (maybe?) from my extremely high arch. They are the Brooks Glycerin 8. I usually wear Lynco L400 arch supports (and have some still) but decided (at the recommendation from the guy at Sports Spectrum) to wait and see if I like the shoes without rather than preemptivley buying $52 inserts if I don’t need ...
