Favorite WOD
I’m a big fan of “Nancy” because I like overhead squats….and Coach Nancy is my favorite Coach. However, I like really long WODs too. So I choose “Eva”. It takes a longgggggg time complete, but you really feel a sense of accomplishment when you finish.

Least Favorite WOD
That’s easy, “Karen”. The wallball and I do not get along.

Time CrossFitting
I’ve been CrossFitting for about 7 years. Before that I worked out at a Globo gym for two and a half years. I went six days a week for 2 hours a day with minimal results. After four months of CrossFitting and eating better I lost 35 pounds. All while increasing my endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy. Man I sound like an infomercial. I’ll stop now.

What is CrossFit
CrossFit is intense, challenging and humbling. It’s feeling uncomfortable for long periods of time and pushing yourself to new levels. It’s everything you’re not allowed to do at a regular gym. It’s dropping your weights, leaving puddles of sweat on the floor and making a mess with chalk. It’s also inspiring and fun. A place where friendships are made and cheering them on is mandatory. CrossFit is the place to be!

Workout Music of choice
I like loud anything. The louder the better.
