Crossfit....

Crossfit...those words to me once were a crazy term. My sister and some of my good friends were doing it, and I thought they were nuts when they talked about it. I didn't understand it at all!

Today, I can't imagine my life without Crossfit. I have only been part of The Arena for a little over a month, and it has impacted my life in such a positive way in just a short time. I think people have such a miss conception of what Crossfit is. I truly had no idea about anything until I started my Foundations classes. Yes, you will lift weights, and do weight lifting you never imagined you could do. No, you do not have to get all beefy, but you will get FIT. You do not have to show up the first day and be expected to do the RX weights, they MODIFY! You do not have to show up the first day and do 10 strict pull ups, they MODIFY. I think this is the BEST part of Crossfit, is that ANYONE and EVERYONE can do it! At The Arena, we have such a variety of people, it is amazing.

I have done a lot of different physical activities in my life, and this is one I am willing to wake up at 4am to get my workout in. I feel good when I leave each day. Check our your local Crossfit gym, it might be something that changes your life as it has mine.

Dear Jen,
If you are reading, I want you to know what an INSPIRATION you are to myself, and so many others. I've met a lot of people in my life, but have never met such a positive and truly caring person. I appreciate you taking the time to guide me to be a better person inside and out. The atmosphere you and Monika have created at The Arena is indescribable. We are all so lucky. It has changed me as a person, in a good way. I needed this. 
Thank you for EVERYTHING!

Remember whatever it is you do for yourself, it is important to keep yourself healthy. I truly am a happier person when I eat healthy and workout.

Hopefully some new recipes to come next week!
