Testosterone

While many of us think of testosterone as a male-specific hormone, and estrogen is a female-specific hormone, that is definitely not the case.  Both men and women have both testosterone and estrogen coursing through our bodies, obviously at different levels.  While these hormones are sex-related hormones, they regulate other things as well.

Check out this great article from Mark's Daily Apple about Testosterone.  It's a good read, and offers some insight on how this hormone works and effects individuals.

  • Beach WOD today!
    Warm up: 2 minute run (in shoes, packed sand), 1 minute rest, 4 times.
    Made-up WOD:
    Start at point A
    Run 100m (barefoot, loose sand)
    20 squats
    Run 100m back to point A
    10 burpees
    5 rounds of that: 11:50
    Back for another round at Crossfit HHI tomorrow, then maybe another beach WOD Friday if my legs still work.
