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.

(Workout patterning inspired by CrossFit West Coast.)

WOD A:

5 Rounds -
Within 3 Minutes, Complete:
*30 Wall Ball (20/14)
*x# Ball Slam (30/20) (30 rep cap)

NOTE: To determine # Ball Slams/ Round: do Round 1 as 30 WBS + AMRAP Ball Slam; stop BS’s at the 2:45 mark; that’s how many BS’s you’ll aim to complete (post-WBS) per round from here forward. (30 rep cap)  If you hit 30 reps before the 2:45 mark, rest whatever time remains of your 3 minute round.

GOAL: do not drop reps!  If your rep goal is set at 22 BS (as determined in round 1), you want to hit 22 reps in rounds 2, 3, 4, and 5.

This WOD was done today at Marita's request...hence, the name of the WOD.  This is a photo of  our favorite lady post-WOD A.
