Q.  How long have you been doing CrossFit?
A.  7 months

Q.  How did you get into CrossFit?
A.  My husband Aaron introduced me to CrossFit.  I wanted to make a major lifestyle change and that meant eating healthier and exercising more.  I was bored of the regular thing I would do at the gym and would lose my motivation to exercise.  Crossfit seemed to be a better fit for me.  I really like the supportive environment and the diverse workouts.

Q.  What has been the most significant benefit/change since you’ve been doing CrossFit?
A.  My energy, strength, fitness level and confidence have increased.  I eat healthier and I have a better awareness of properly balanced meals.

Q.  What is your favorite exercise?
A.  Though I still need to improve, I enjoy squat cleans and deadlifts.  Box jumps are fun too!

Q.  What is your least favorite exercise?
A.  Thrusters, wall balls, rowing, summo deadlifts high pulls.

Q.  What is your favorite healthy meal?
A.  Green beans tossed in salt, pepper and butter with a grilled ribeye steak.

Q.  What is your favorite cheat meal/snack?
A.  Cheat meal – pasta and pizza
     Snack – ice cream, chocolate and cookies (I love Oreos)

Q.  Now that you’ve been doing CrossFit, what’s one thing you could never see yourself doing again?  (workout, nutrition, lifestyle, etc.)
A.  Bosu Ball workouts, plus I will never look at corn the same way.
