AMRAP 15 Minutes:
12 Hang Power Snatch 85/53
12 Ring Dips
At age 50, I found myself out of energy, over
weight, and waking
up most every day with back pain and headaches. My doctor placed me on medications for high cholesterol and high blood pressure. I have been a active person
all my life in a recreational sense, but had little understanding of fitness. I came to a
place in my life where I knew it was time to make some changes, so I made the
commitment to myself to start doing CrossFit to never give up, no matter what.
I really didn’t think I
could do the things my son Justin said were possible, but as we say at our
house, "I drank the juice." After 7 months of
blood sweat and tears I have turned the corner thanks to trainers at CFES and their never ending
commitment to excellence. All my blood work from
the doctor is good. My blood pressure and cholesterol are back to normal and I am medication free. I Have lost 12
lbs and no longer suffer from back pain or headaches and for the first time in 30 years I am sleeping through the night. My energy level has
increased and I feel a lot better about myself. At 50 years old, I know I could
challenge any of my non-CrossFit friends to a physical challenge and kick their butts.

I
Love CrossFit and I’m so thankful for all of the encouragement from
everyone. What a great group of people to be fit with. Keep on drinking
the Juice.
