If it wasn't for a friend at the Y.M.C.A., I might never have discovered the world of Cross Fit. While doing yet another boring gym routine, Bryan Krouse suggested I do the Boise Spartan Sprint race. My sister and I decided to do the race together, and we needed to learn how to climb a rope and maneuver the rings. We dropped into Boise Cross Fit and Andy Rosenbaum, owner, patiently taught us the technique for getting up the rope (Spartan Sisters Fit after 50 profile). On that fateful day, my way of looking at fitness changed forever.
After the race, I immediately joined Boise Cross Fit and became a member of the Masters class, where I met these inspirational ladies. I was immediately included in the group and impressed by their strength and skill in the numerous Cross Fit exercises and techniques, and they helped me to learn the barbell techniques of deadlift, squat, clean, thrusters, etc. They are stronger and fitter than most people half their age - not only physically but also mentally. In the meantime I have seen an improvement in my hiking, balance, strength, and no more back pain! Cross Fit makes you realize what your strengths and weaknesses are. Our bodies can be pushed further than we think. If not now, when??
