Usually I get "what is CrossFit?" which can be answered in one sentence: Constantly varied, functional movements executed at high intensities. "Why do I do CrossFit?" takes more than a sentence. In fact, it would probably take an entire blog for me to fully explain why I do CrossFit. And it just so happens that I just decided to start a blog about me and my love of CrossFit.
CrossFit is dependable, suprising, fun, challenging...wow, aren't those qualities we all want in our ideal love? CrossFit is dependable. I can count on it 6 days a week (7th day is for rest-which I spend watching CrossFit videos) Even if I'm sore or injured, there's ways to motify the WOD so I can do it. And if I really really am injured, I always enjoy watching people do CrossFit workouts. CrossFit is surprising. You never know what the workout is going to be up until you wake up. And trust me, before I even get up to pee, I'm on my phone checking the WOD. Finding out I get to deadlift makes my morning grumpiness go away in a heartbeat. CrossFit is fun. Man, oh man do I smile so much when I'm at CrossFit. Before workouts, during workouts, after workouts...it makes me so happy. CrossFit is challenging. It pushes me to the limit and exposes my weaknesses, which I have plenty of. CrossFit makes me want to be a better person, physically as well as mentally.
I wasn't always a happy camper. I wasn't always strong. I wasn't always able to get up in the morning and feel like I had any purpose. I felt like my smiles were fake, and they were fake. Not anymore. I'm a new person. A better person. I love myself and I love that CrossFit has given me the opportunity to love myself more and more everyday. Because not only do I get to do something I love, but the people I meet through CrossFit become like family. We all support each other. We all cheer for each other. No one is trying to put you down. No one is hoping that you lose. Everyone wants you to suceed.
On another note...I'm getting another tattoo soon :)
I pump iron, I pump life
Might be a girl but it’s my right
To be strong and live it up
Put down your weight son, I’ll pick it up
Try to squat me down with words?
I will mess you up
