I will be chronicling my gym or "box" experiences as best I can. Hopefully my stories will find other older Crossfitters or those thinking of trying Crossfit. Most of all I hope to convince whoever is reading this blog that YOU TOO CAN DO IT! Anybody can!
Without a doubt, Crossfit offers the most satisfying and fulfilling workout I have ever done.
An Explanation of What Crossfit Is and the Philosophy Behind It.
I have been a Crossfitter for a relatively short time. I have been "working out" in one form or another for over 25 years. I was the general manager of a "traditional" gym for over 10 years and that afforded me the opportunity to work out every day. I did the basics like Lifecycle, Stairmaster, etc., for over an hour a day and I lifted approximately 5-6 days a week. Which means I have an exercise experience to compare with Crossfit. The purpose of this blog is to share and document my experiences as a relatively new but "older" Crossfitter, and offer tips to potential Crossfitters on what to expect.

PS-I am lucky to be a member of Crossfit New England-2nd place finisher in the 2010 Crossfit Games Affiliate Competition, home of the 1st place finisher in the Masters Competition, and the 8th best woman finisher, IN THE WORLD!

UPDATE For 2012: 12th Place Affiliate team (in the world!). Masters who finished 1st, 9th and 14th (in the world!)
This is a really great blog post detailing this woman's paleo and fitness journey. It is about fat and muscle and how they relate to the scale (that some of us look at on a daily basis)and how becoming more muscular is a GOOD thing. She states: "Being muscular and strong is how we keep our bodies functioning like they should; preventing injury and decrepitude."
It is a good read for those of us who lift weights and hopefully an encouraging read for those of you contemplating lifting weights!
