CrossFit Bits & Pieces

by Megan M. on October 13, 2009 · View Comments (Blog) | email me

I found this video at the CrossFit Central Women blog, and thought it would be awesome to show you the place I go many mornings and the sorts of things I do. My workouts are nothing like the one Chris does in this video (mine are scaled way down and take me much longer to [...]
