Here’s something you may or may not know about me.  I’m a Crossfitter.  I still remember how bizarre the gym (also known as a Box) looked when I first stepped in.  There were no machines, no treadmills or ellipticals.  What I did find were these cage looking structures, dumbbells, rowers and huge rubber weighted plates.  As I sat there, staring, I felt kind of intimidated because I was not sure what to expect.  Then, came the demo class.  I thought I was in shape since I was training for a half marathon and going to a gym.  Wrong!  After the demo class, I was sore for days.  However, I wanted more.  It’s been 2 years since my introduction.  Since then, I’ve grown stronger, I’m more energetic and feel healthier.  So what is Crossfit?  It’s a programmed high intensity workout that pushes your body and mind to its limits.  It’s never getting bored with the same workout routine.  It’s a group of people who feel your pain and cheer you on as you struggle.
