#1 – Row – while one person is rowing, you are completing a movement until they finish the row, then move to the next station and perform until the person finishes the row. so you will go through every movement while one person is finishing the 400m row, then back through it all with a 300m row then 200m row
#2 – Wall slams (change sides half way through)
#3 – TRX row to fly
#4 – plate paddle* – half way through switch to – turkish sit up to tricep press

30 seconds banded run in place with high knees (per person)
then 10 burpees each, alternating
*standing with a plate out in front of you (I used 15# plate) step your right foot back and swoop the plate back – almost like your paddling – then step forward and step your left foot back and paddle with your left arm and repeat until the half way mark of the row, then do the sit ups

I love wakeboarding! Therefore snowboarding is at the top of my bucket list! I’d love to win to have this awesome excuse to finally go out and try it! (I live in Arkansas so snow is a very rare element here… especially the kind of snow you can ride on. )
So excited to find your workouts and the chance to win free skis is pretty nice as well!
Just for reference–what size Lulu pants do you wear? I’ve never taken the plunge but those pants are a good deal so it might be a good time to try!
size 4
Food/morning workout conundrum!!!! Help, Juli! ????????????
…I practice Ashtanga yoga 6 mornings a week at 6 am, typically until 8 am. In the Fall, 3-4 x/week Id do a short workout after in my condo gym, then eat breakfast! THIS month I am starting CF and once my foundations ends, the earliest class I can make is the 9:30 am. I’m a grad student so my day is flexible but now I have no idea when/what to eat!!!!! Not getting home til 11 seems a bit late to start making breakfast when I got up at 5:45 am. But I usually work out mostly fasted and don’t know that a big meal right before a WOD is a good idea?! How would you ‘divide up’ your breakfast?! Etc ???????????? thanks! (disclaimer: I also posted on your IG but then realized how easy it is to miss comments on there
#sofamous ???? So I thought it wise to post here too. Sorry for the excessive posting ????????)
I would love to try sking one day… maybe this will be my chance. I love weight training, but need to find new things to push me. Found a program on bodybuilding to change it up because I can get pretty comfortable with similar routine.
I’m not sure how I like the high waisted crops. They make me feel like I’m 12 again when that style was in. I see you wearing them all the time and you look so good in them!
Hello! Just signed up for your emails and am eager to receive the one about the 10 Travel Workouts! Thank you, Juli, for sharing all this fantastic content with us. You’re GREAT!
I’m in such a rut! I recently moved to Portland for work and love it BUT cannot find a good crossfit gym. I’ve been doing crossfit for 2 1/2 years and am totally obsessed .. and also pretty into improving and growing and learning and getting stronger.. apparently that’s more rare to find here. I’ve tried four gyms and none of the coaches are engaged and the programming doesn’t make me feel like I’ll be improving…
Ugh 🙁 have u been to any gyms in the Portland area? I’m sure there’s more options elsewhere in the city, but traveling too far from work/home wont exactly work..
U should come start a gym out here 🙂
Hi Juli!
I love your podcast! I always catch myself responding to you, but I am owning it….like “yes, I am actually talking to Juli over here.. mind your own business”… anyway when i do push-ups i feel discomfort in my elbow. Do you have any suggestions for combating this? thanks in advance!
there could be a lot going on with your elbow. not sure what yours is but try keeping your elbows in close to your sides, more of a tricep push up, that may help!
What is a grasshopper? I didn’t see an explanation. Thanks!
sorry about that – so you’re in a plank position and then you bring your right knee in and touch your right shin to left elbow then same thing on the other shin to opposite arm
