CrossFit Level 1 Certified
USA Weightlifting Level 1 Sports Performance Certified

Favorite WOD: Helen, 3 rounds of: Run 400m, 21 kettlebell swings, and 12 pull-ups. It’s just a classic and simple triplet combining all three types of CrossFit movements: monostructural, weightlifting, and gymnastics.
Favorite movement: Muscle-ups or overhead squats
Least favorite WOD: Karen is pretty awful. I could easily do without 150 wall ball shots.
Least favorite movement: Wallballs, especially 2 for 1 types. Feel lucky if you don’t know what those are.
Started CrossFitting: March 2009 in Afghanistan
How did you hear about CrossFit: In the Marine Corps. My First Sergeant said, “Hey, Sir, you’d like this workout, and it’s quick. It involves these thrusters and rope climbs, give it a go.” And so it went…
Workout music of choice: The White Stripes, The Stooges, and Michael Jackson, but only stuff from Off The Wall
Workout shoes of choice: Chuck Taylors and Rogue’s Do-Wins
Other interests: Roller Derby and NPR (Planet Money, TAL, Radiolab, and ATC), I dig those programs.
Favorite TV Show Character: Omar from The Wire

Favorite WOD: I love the WOD Grace and the Lumberjack 20, any WOD that leaves me blasted, out of breath sitting next to the fan or pacing in the parking lot! At first it looks the WODs look impossible, but after a few months you get into a groove and eventually you are setting personal records and pushing yourself farther than you knew you could.
Favorite movement: Any type of clean. I love exploding from the floor with the weight and standing up with it. It’s a very rewarding movement. If you put in the practice you can get an obscene amount of weight up to your shoulders. Plus, it looks cool and works a lot of muscles.
Least favorite WOD: 2 WODs come to mind. The 100′s for sure, it was so difficult and I’m looking to avenge my time, but I am not a fan of it at all. And in 10 minutes, do as many kettlebell snatches as possible at 53 pounds. It looked easy on paper, but I was doing the movement completely wrong. It gave me several blisters and made me angry.
Least favorite movement: Turkish Getup, kettlebell swings, and sumo deadlift high pull at any weight. The swing is so taxing on the grip and lungs and always slows me down in workouts. The deadlifts are awkward for me and the Turkish Getup is blehhh…
Started CrossFitting: On and off since 2009. But consistently since 2010.
How did you hear about CrossFit: A buddy of mine in the Navy was doing it on and off for a few months and showed me the main CrossFit website. We did Fran RX for my first workout and it took 21 minutes, big mistake. But I’ve been hooked ever since.
Workout music of choice: Mainly hip hop and hard rock music. Sometimes I need something angry, sometimes I need something fast.
Workout shoes of choice: The CrossFit Reebok shoes by far, the big yellow ones I wear. And my olympic lifting shoes for the heavy stuff!
Other interests: I’m a big foodie. I love going out to eat at good restaurants. I enjoy the occasional video game. And I am an avid sports fan, mainly the NFL (Go Chargers!), NCAA Football (Go USC and OK State!) and basketball (Go Lakers!) but I’m gonna try to get into hockey this season. Oh and I LOVE movies, I go to the theater a lot. I’ve gone probably 20-30 times this year alone.
Favorite TV Show Character: Phil, the dad, from Modern Family. He’s goofy but hilarious. And Ron Swanson from Parks and Recreation! He’s awesome.

Favorite WOD: Burpee Mike’s Birthday WOD (30 calories, 30 box jumps, 30 thrusters, 30 pullups, 30 snatches, 30 burpees, 30 double-unders), “DT” is great! I love the the deadlift and hang power clean combo. “Hansen” rocks and last but not least, “Annie”.
Favorite Movements: Deadlifts and hang power cleans. Also double-unders and GHD sit-ups (although those leave my abs so sore I can’t laugh for the next week lol!)
Least Favorite WOD: “Michael” I’ll gladly do without the running.
Least Favorite Movement: Anything that involves running, rowing or wallballs.
Started CrossFitting: February 2011
How did you hear about CrossFit: My best friend was getting ready to head back to Alaska and instead of saying “I’m going to miss you” she said “I’m going to miss CrossFit”. What?! I was appalled, horrified at the fact that she’d miss a workout more than me! The very next day she took me to my first CrossFit class. Little did I know then that I was about to embark on one of the coolest journeys of my life. “You had me at ‘hello’” (as cheesy as it sounds) would describe my immediate devotion and fascination with CrossFit.
Workout Music of Choice: Metallica or Rage Against the Machine
Workout shoes: The inov-8’s. Recently started using them and I’m in love! Wish I would have started using them sooner. And my chuck taylors are a pretty close second.
Other Interests: My husband 
my dogs Bella, Hercules and Rambo and music.
Favorite TV Character: I don’t watch much TV, but off the top of my head, I’d say Rachel from Friends
