Lauren trains five days a week, twice a day. "Monday through Wednesday on, Thursday an active recovery day, Friday through Saturday on, and Sunday a full rest day."
Her first session usually takes around 90 minutes. She does one hour of cardio like running, rowing, assault bike, or interval work, and then 30 minutes of accessory work. Accessory work includes exercises that complement the full-body CrossFit movements like pull-ups and deadlifts. Examples of accessory work include those that target one muscle group or one side of the body such as dumbbell rows, hollow holds, and skull crushers.
Her second session usually takes around two to three hours including warmup, strength (like an Olympic lift or some sort of squatting), a workout, and then gymnastics/accessory work to finish.
On her active recovery day, Lauren likes to do some easy aerobic work to help her recover faster and promote blood flow. She usually does an hour of swimming in the pool on these days. "Sunday is all for complete rest and making sure I'm prepared for the following week of training."
