I started CrossFit to try something new, as I had been doing "globo-gym" workouts for years, as well as teaching Zumba and other workout classes. Once I tried CrossFit, I began to love it and started attending classes 5-6 times a week. I loved that it pushed me to do new things and allowed me to feel the competitiveness I had felt as an athlete growing up. I was able to reach an intensity in the CrossFit classes that I had been missing in all my other forms of working out. CrossFit has also taught me that I can do hard things that I didn't always think I was able to do in the gym and in life. I have learned to adopt the mindset of "the power of yet" and share it with my own child. As a mother, it is easy to give all your energy to your family, but CrossFit has allowed me to have something for myself that helps me be better for my family. I love that CrossFit has allowed me to not only become a healthier person, but it also pushes me to be better in my personal life for my family.
