Every time I go down to LA, I try to hit up Muscle Beach in Santa Monica... even before CrossFit. Except now I can do more than play on the swings! This is probably one of my favorite places to hang out in southern California. I like the atmosphere and I enjoy people watching, meeting people, and testing my physical capabilities here. Rings + beach + nice weather + real sand, what more can I ask for?!
Pictures: These pictures are from my visit last month. Somehow I forgot to post this earlier. We spent hours playing with the rings, ropes, pull-up bars, parallettes, and swings. This was the third time someone tried to teach me how to swing on the rings and I still failed miserably, even after 11 months of CrossFit. I hope this does not end up like ice skating. Anyway, photos!

8. Got so excited I was wearing pants for the rope climb and totally forgot I had poor footwear.
9. The Man Test.
10. Wish Muscle Beach was closer :(

I hope every time I come back here, I can do some thing new. My goals for next time include conquering the double rope climb, doing a handstand on the parallettes, and actually swinging on the rings... at least one way!
