'As you know, I was very out of shape when I started at Docs Box Pax Tecum this last winter. Before that, sometimes I would be out of breath after climbing the stairs even though I am in my mid thirties. I was 40 lbs overweight and I knew I needed to do something about it. I felt like I was at the level of about what a 'normal' 50 year old would be with my general fitness...literally. Its now July and after being in Crossfit for five months I have lost 25 lbs and I feel great. I almost feel like my age again. Give me another six months and I will be way better in shape than I was in my mid to late twenties...literally. I played softball the other day and felt twenty years younger than when I played last summer. In fact, last summer, before Crossfit, my legs gave out from under me the first time I went after a fly ball in the outfield and I was sore for a week. This time around, after the game, I felt like I had just barely done the warm-up portion of a WOD. Needless to say, I am very pleased with the results. Thanks for everything and keep up the great work.' --BM, 071515 |
