Food became fuel for my body to perform better during workouts, and things began to change.
We all have stories to tell about our bodies, and while mine is not so different from others, it is uniquely mine. So, let’s talk about the body.
I’m 44 years old, perimenopausal, and tired all the time. When I discovered CrossFit, I had just turned 41 and was 25 pounds overweight.
I’ve always worked out to maintain a good mood and avoid throat-chopping people. Working outwas a habit I developed from my teen years onward. Working out has always been a part of my life, whether I was lifting weights in the garage, running—because it was free—or taking the family to the YMCA. However, my previous workout routines weren’t effective anymore, and what once worked for me in my twenties and thirties no longer did.
Eventually, I reached a point where I didn’t care anymore and began to accept that life was changing. Yet, a nagging feeling grew inside me, and my brow furrowed. That was not an attitude I liked to indulge for long.
Not long after, I saw some people running around what looked like a new shop. The sign read “Side Yard CrossFit.” I didn’t know much about CrossFit, but it was only five minutes from my house, so I decided to call and inquire about personal training—because I am a bit of a scaredy-cat. Before I knew it, I found myself standing in a room full of athletes, wondering what the hell I had gotten myself into.
I started personal training for three months until I got laid off, and then it was off to group classes for me. That is when I fell in love with Olympic lifting, HIIT workouts, and the support from all those individuals with whom I tramua bond with our shared experiences each day. It may not sound like a glowing recommendation for CrossFit, but that’s not the point.
Over the following months, I watched my body change in ways I had never seen before. I’m stronger than ever, and my endurance is outstanding. I have more definition now than I did in my twenties.
Am I an Rx athlete? No, not at all. I scale my workouts all the time. Even as a coach, I don’t feel the need to push myself to the brink; instead, I focus on getting stronger and faster.
