Athlete Profile

How I Eat

I eat strict Paleo

I eat quality foods but don't measure the amount

At the moment I along with other gym members are doing the Whole Life Challenge. It has been a good experience.

How I Train

I workout mostly at a CrossFit Affiliate

The owner of our gym Michael Anderson is a good friend and colleague. I decided to do Crossfit because I trusted his judgment about training. I normally participate 4 to 5 times per week and love all of our instructors/coaches.

My Athletic Background

I regularly play recreational sports

I would have played sports in high school and college if they had been available. Instead I did particpate in many recreational sports when younger like volleyball, tennis, running,hiking and skiing. Now I mainly hike but I could participate in other sports again because of the fitness I obtained with CF.

My Experience With CrossFit

I began CrossFit with a coach (e.g. at an affiliate)

I have completed the CrossFit Level 1 certificate course

I have had a life changing experience due to CrossFit

I really enjoy participating in the varied and shorter workouts that Crossfit provides. It has changed my fitness level incredibly so far. It is fun to do something that you have never done before, reach goals that you set for yourself. Working on my weaknesses has helped me to qualify for the games.

My Work/Rest Schedule

I usually only do 1 workout a day

I do multiple workouts in a day 1x a week

For CrossFit workouts I typically rest 1 to 2 days per week but I still hike sometimes on the same days as CF and always on my days off. I also do Yoga about once a week.

How long have you been doing CrossFit?

2-4 years

I started at the age of 64 so it is not too late for you!
