Fight Gone Bad

Most of all I loved watching all of you at your most intense moments when you were pushing your hardest. I hope that everyone experiences what that feels like and looks like to "give it every ounce" The reason that I am in this is to share that feeling, to share that emotion. I don't want to live life, coasting and not feeling. I want to know what it feels like to "intensively live life" and I love seeing someone else exhibit exactly that!!!! Great job team! I am proud to be a member of such a positive experience! Thanks for all of the donations from fantastic friends!!

Ripped Backs and Six Packs

Watch this video:

Their ripped backs and six packs are not the reason that I posted this, the best part for me is that these ladies are probably moms/ wives/ normal people just like you and me who probably have a million excuses not to do it, but they do. The best part for me is that they are putting it all out there and pushing the limits! This video inspires me because these ladies are so focused and determined. They have discipline and momentum! I am not there yet, but you better watch out, here I come...

Crossfit Chicks

This weekend we had our first Girl Scouts fitness training, called "Crossfit Chicks". That was probably the most fun that I have had in months! I loved seeing them get excited to be active and enthusiastic about sweating it up! The girls were so full of life and into it! Better yet, their moms did not come prepared to work up a sweat, but they got involved and participated as well. They inspired me and made my whole weekend! I went there to share what I know and left feeling like I had learned more than they did! Thanks girl scouts, I hope we can do that again!

Why I am here...

I am overwhelmed by the state of obesity and the common lack of physical activity in our children today. I would like to do something about it! Crossfit Kids is my way of sharing my love for fitness with the children in my community and being a part of the change that I want to see in the world!

Working with kids has always been my passion; they bring me joy and inspire me tremendously. I have been a teacher of many different levels, foster parented, been a camp counselor, a nanny, and anything else that I could find that would mean that I got to talk and play with kids.

Crossfit has been, like many other things for me, a continuum of learning. I think that I get a little more driven to be the best, every time that I break a sweat. In the beginning, I began to work out only for me, then I began finding out that I really enjoy sharing it with others. Recently, I got my Level 1 Certification because I am ready to move up to the next level of teaching others my excitement for living the best life. I get so excited that I get teary eyed watching others push their limits and achieve their goals. There is nothing more exciting to me than seeing or hearing of amazing accomplishments that were started by one or two small goals. I hope to help children and their parents experience the feeling of enjoying life in the body that they are in!
