Previous workout/exercise history before starting CrossFit? I did circuit training for about a year then tried it on my own at a large gym. I was going about 3-4 times a week but didn’t see much progress.
CrossFitting Since: I started in Jan of 2015
How did you learn about CrossFit Sting? My boss/friend told me about it and talked me into going.
Was it love at first WOD? Yes it was! I love to lift weight but not a big fan of cardio and for me this is a great combination of the two.
Favorite WOD or movements? I love EMOTM!!! (That mean Evey Minute on the Minute) Love deadlifts, power cleans, over head squats
Least favorite WOD or Movements? Hate burpees!!! (Make that ALL types of burees, right?)
Favorite CrossFit Sting moment? Describe your experience here.
The moment you think you can’t do something and then everyone is cheering you on and your coaches are telling you that you can! This was squat cleans for me and my last PR was 105, I knew I could do more just had to remember to squat under the bar. After multiple attempts and extra coaching I finally got 115lb!!! I was sooo excited.
Why do you CrossFit? I love it! It pushes me to do more. I always leave feeling like I’ve had the best workout. I’m seeing results in my body that I’ve wanted for a long time and I love my crossfit family! And it’s fun!!!
Tell us something new about you that we don’t already know? Over the past couple of years I have struggled with finding myself and being happy again. After 3 kids and a divorce my weight has been on a roller coaster ride along with my self esteem. Finding crossfit has been the best thing for me. I have found my happy place, my balance in life, and my body is on its way to being what I want it to be. I’m a happier and healthier person for my kids and myself.
Love all of this and we are so happy that you have found CrossFit Sting. Your last statement is what it is ALL about, “I’m a happier and healthier person for my kids and myself.”
