Today is officially a rest day.
However, I’d encourage you to take some time to breath, stretch, and meditate. We can all use that!
Try this 20 minute morning yoga routine (can be done anytime during the day).
I’ll be back tomorrow with another HomeWOD!

Well-being is super important to me. It’s what I help lawyers with everyday. Just because a pandemic rolls around doesn’t mean we should stop taking care of ourselves. In fact, we need to pay even more attention to our own self-care in the weeks (months) that lay ahead. I started this website and venture not too long ago as a pet project because I am a longtime athlete and advocate for women and girls in sports. After hanging up my ice hockey goalie pads, I picked up triathlons, and now CrossFit. I’ve since become a CrossFit coach at CrossFit Newton.
For all you anxious about how you will keep up your exercise, mental health, and general well-being during this pandemic, I’m here to help you out. I’m vowing to post (and do) a workout every day. I may even try to do some workouts live via Facebook so that you can join along. Feel free to share with friends and hold each other accountable by posting or commenting when you’ve completed the workout for the day. All workouts will vary and include some CrossFit-type movements (that anyone can do). Shoot me an email, text, or call if you have questions or would like scaling options!
