What is Crossfit and why is it better than other workout programs?
Personally, Crossfit has “saved” me in every mental sense of the word. Through that “ah ha” moment, I have discovered a strength within myself to keep moving forward when life may have had me at its lowest depths. I remember the exact moment in a Crossfit WOD when I was sure I would not physically be able to finish a workout. I remember looking around the room and seeing others struggling just as hard, if not harder, than I was. I heard a coach holler at me to get my ass back up on that pull-up bar and felt my heart begin surge as I took a deep breath and told myself, “Erin, you are not a quitter.” That day, I found a determination within I was unaware existed. It was at that moment, that I left the box with a renewed sense of vigor and my head held higher than previously experienced. While enduring some of life’s challenges, I have learned that I want to live everyday with a “3-2-1 GO” mentality. Each morning, I awake to a new day anxious to live it to its absolute fullest potential. True, I tend to cram 25 hours into a 24 hour period, but I figure if I approach every activity with a Crossfit “3-2-1-GO” mentality and put all of my effort into life, I can collapse into bed at night knowing, I lived that day to its fullest potential.
