25 things about me… and why a woman should CrossFit- By Angela Felsted
1 – I like
the jaw dropping reactions I get from people when I tell them I do Olympic
style
weightlifting.
2 – Bruises
are a source of pride.
3 – “Pilates”
and “Jogging” are curse words.
4 – For
the rest of my life, I never have to use the elliptical machine again.
5 – I can
squat my body weight.
6 – I can
deadlift almost twice my body weight.
7 – Burpees
are my friend. Burpees are my friend. Burpees are my friend.
8 – I
never said I was afraid of the “F” word.
9 – When
my kids throw a tantrum that forces us to exit the store, I just squat
clean – both
of them.
10 – In
fact, I can successfully hang power clean the dog food at Costco.
11 – I’d
win the pull-up contest at my old gym.
12 – When
someone says, “Nice Snatch,” I can only assume they are talking about my
barbell. Either way, I’ll take it as a complement.
13 – I did
75 burpees (in a row) before I was even allowed to participate in the
warm-up.
14 – I
climbed the rope – twice!
15 – I’ve
been secretly doing “Kenso.”
16 – Hot
Tip: Squats are essential when putting on your best denim for an evening
out.
17 – It’s
perfectly okay to pee a little bit when doing double-unders.
18 – I
don’t have to hide my affinity for metal. And I’m never, ever subjected to
country
music.
19 – My
sweat angel is incredible!
20 – I
kicked “Helen’s” ass. Even owned the “Super Chief.”
21 – It’s
okay, even encouraged, to watch other people jerk.
22 – People
cheer when I dump my barbell and it makes that super loud crashing sound.
23 – My big
butt gets a lot of positive attention.
24 – CrossFit
makes me an outlier.
25 – When I
finish my WOD, I walk out of CFES feeling 10 feet tall and bullet-proof.
Thank you for that Angela.
