November 10-16 is Orangutan Caring Week, a whole week dedicated to the gentle giants of the Asian rainforests. Orangutans deserve a whole week, as their numbers are plummeting more each year.
ZooFit Special Workout: Veteran’s Day- Hero WOD
In ZooFit, I honor Conservation Heroes who have died either while on the job or after many years of conservation service to the world. The whole idea of Conservation Hero Workouts was inspired by CrossFit’s Hero Workouts. This is an incredible way to honor the men and women who have sacrificed their lives to protect…
Just Say Hello
There really aren’t many times I can say a single conversation has changed my life. But going down to Seattle for a dear friend’s birthday brought on one of the most incredible discussions I’ve had in a long, long time.
ZooFit Workout- November 7: NaNoWriMo Breaks and Boosts
November is NaNoWriMo- National Novel Writing Month. It’s so exciting to spend a whole month working diligently on a novel, or whatever your project may be (I did a NaNoWriMo one year working on essays, another on articles). But NaNo can take it’s toll on our overall health and well-being, as writers are notorious sitters….
ZooFit Workout of the Day- 11/5/19: Burpees 4 Fun

ZooFit Workout of the Day- 10/31: Happy Halloween
If you think I would pass up the opportunity to celebrate Halloween without a little ZooFit trick or treat, you are sadly mistaken. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. It’s the one day you can be ANYTHING. A unicorn, a beluga (who wouldn’t want to be a beluga?), a goddess, or a wizard. Some…
ZooFit WOD- 10/29: National Cat Day
According to Peppermint Narwhal’s Animal Calendar, today is National Cat Day. It doesn’t specify whether it’s domestic cats, or wild felines, but that doesn’t matter. Cats are cool, and they deserve a special day (and workout) in their honor.
ZooFit WOD- October 24: Evening the Odds
On Tuesday we did a circuit EMOM (every minute on the minute), rotating through 4 exercises. Today we’re going to do yet ANOTHER version of an EMOM, with only 2 exercises. One is an all-out test to see how many reps you can complete in a minute. The other is to help bring your heart…
ZooFit Workout of the Day- 10/22/19: Love Your EMOM
Next month is going to be a crazy amount of burpees, so I’m dialing the burpees back for the week. This week, I’m going to some oldies, but goodies.
