Spotlight: Emily Stirling (WBFF Figure Pro)- Adv. Core Workout

stirlinglead

I LOVE Emily Stirling. She is one of the few figure competitors who doesn’t stick with only old-school bodybuilding methods. Her style is often times functional, athletic, high energy, and plyometric. Interesting! Here is an example of a core workout she did that definitely does not fit into the conventional figure competitor core workout! Although it does still focus on the ...

Sky High Workout

Today I ate some of the food that Sasha and I prepared last week. It’s almost done. We had made a week’s worth of chicken, kale, rice, egg whites and oatmeal, etc etc etc. (Sorry for the blurry iphone pic)

Trying New Things: AERIAL CONDITIONING

I am going through a period of wanting to try new things. I love cross training, so today I decided to try aerial conditioning. We started out with a warm up, then we went over a few skills on the trapeze, then we went over a few skills on the tissue. Or it is called Spanish web? Or same thing? In any case, it was pretty fun and came pretty quickly for me, I think because of my gymnastics background. ...

I’m an old ...

Boxing is Fun

I had a fun workout day last Wednesday! In the morning I checked out a wrestling class and learned a little bit about what you can do if you botch a double leg takedown (cough cough all my double legs are botched- they’re hard!!) and they sprawl on you. Later on in the day, I worked with a new trainer at Functional Core Fitness named Eliza Olson. She’s new to FCF, but not new to boxing or instructing. ...

This little boy is soooo cute!!

Sunday was my visa run, so I flew to Malaysia and back. I also called Orbitz, the company I bought my airline tickets from, and they said that I had the option of flying on January 20th at no charge because it was the “same class” of tickets, but if I chose any other day to return home, I would have to pay at least $500 for change fee plus fare difference. Since I am trying to watch my money, ...
