OBVIOUSLY I'm not doing Crossfit to compete to be the "World's Fittest Person." I first joined Crossfit to lose weight and just now I am started to focus on my strength and getting stronger. So since I'm probably never going to compete on the larger scale, what are the smaller/real life benefits of doing Crossfit?
1. I only need to try on 1 outfit for work. Before Crossfit, it would take me at least 3 different combos of pants and shirts that fit before I went to work.
2. I can carry ALL my groceries from my car to my house. I used to have to take multiple trips back and forth. And I ALWAYS tell the bagger to "bag them heavy."
3. I accidentally embarrassed one of my coworkers who was having trouble opening a bag of shredded cheese. He was struggling so I offered to help and I easily opened the bag. BTW this motivated him to immediately join his local Crossfit box.
4. I sleep like a rock. I used to lay down, toss and turn, and/or have to read in bed to get my eyes tired before I could fall asleep. Now I'm asleep before I hit the pillow.
5. I've made a lot of really awesome crossfit friends.
6. Let's face it, I look better in the clothes that I wear now, so my husband is enjoying the view and well, what that leads to has also improved.
7. I can help Dennis with moving furniture (rather than supervising) and same goes with heavy yard work.
8. When I get mad at Dennis and I want to slam a door, I can really slam a door now with ANGER!
9. No matter how crazy my friends think I am, or how proud of me they are, I always feel like I could do better. This keeps me motavated to go back for more and keep improving.
10. When I'm out dancing or at a concert I can jump and point (our trademark dance) for hours!
My point being, even though I will never be a Crossfit "BEAST" I can be me with a few athletic surprises up my sleeve.
