Emily did not grow up considering herself an athletic person. As someone who is secretly very competitive and does not like to let others down, Emily quickly felt discouraged from team sports in grade school. Emily did discover both yoga and horseback riding when she was 14 years old and continued to practice in both of those sports throughout the remainder of her life. Horseback riding became Emily’s first love and outlet to a healthy lifestyle. Spending any waking moment on the farm and doing hours of manual labor to ride any horse provided to her. During her senior year of college, Emily had a horseback riding accident that herniated a disc in her back. Emily was told by doctors that running would likely be out of the question due to pain and danger of re-injury among other activities. After rehabbing, Emily continued to ride off and on but often...Read more

“Lynne” Thanks for the posts about benchmark WODs guys – lets hit one today!  This is how it works…. There is no time element to this WOD, you simply need to complete 5 rounds within the class time, and you may rest as needed between sets.  While using a spotter,  complete max reps of bench press, once you have completed your set immediately move to pull-ups and complete a max effort set. Rules: 1 You must use a spotter 2 You must move IMMEDIATELY from the bench to the bar.  This means that if you need chalk, do it before you bench. 3 Max effort means max effort, no leaving reps in the tank, if you don’t see a significant drop off after each set you are doing something wrong.  Your pull-up set is over once you come off the bar / rings, or can no longer achieve range of...Read more
