Where Science Meets Fitness

No matter what your current fitness level or former athletic experience, you can learn to train like an Olympic-caliber athlete. I am Erin Borchard, a former elite springboard/platform diver (NCAA Champion and multi-year All-American at Stanford University, former member of the US National Diving Team, and two-time competitor at the US Olympic Team Trials), specializing in personal and small group training sessions. I am also a Phi Beta Kappa student with a B.A. in Human Biology; my strong science background is an ever present influence shaping and changing my training philosophy.

I want to help you push yourself to YOUR maximum...you'll be shocked to find the true athlete living inside of you.

"Travel Workouts" @ Harris Express Athletic Conditioning

Recently, I was contacted by a friend of mine who used to take a bunch of my group exercise classes.  In the last year, he had to relocate for work and now, without the Y, finds himself having to workout on his own every day, coming up with his own Athletic Conditioning-type sessions.  He usually runs to his outdoor workout location, so he cannot bring equipment with him.  He turned to me for some help with ideas.  First, I turned him onto a super resource for these kinds of workouts: the "Travel Workouts" page at CROSSFIT S3's main website: http://crossfits3.com/the-story/travel-workouts/.  Secondly, I told him to look for this blog posting.  Today's 5:45am Athletic Conditioning class at the Harris Express Y was a zero-equipment/ total travel workout day.  Who needs heavy weights anyway?!

See below for the workout breakdown.
