Crossfit

Apologies for slacking on our blog posts!  This is a way for Rachel and I to share a little of our personal lives with you guys.  For me, sometimes it's challenging to come up with topics that I think will interest you.  When I think of my life right, I have two main things that come to mind, 1. Kids 2. The gym.  In this post I'm going to tell you about my new gym that I'm totally obsessed with right now.  It's in Waukee and it's called Crossfit Primal.  Maybe some of you have heard of Crossfit before?

It's a lot more lifting than I've done before, and after 6 weeks I've never felt so strong.  I was so intimidated at first but the support of the coaches and fellow crossfitters has made a huge impact on my life.  Here's a photo of me from a couple of weeks ago.

Now before you get too impressed with the weight, notice they're only 10 pounds apiece with a 15 pound bar.  And see that gentleman in the background?  His name is Will.  He's a coach and he decided to come over and put 25 pounds weights on each end.  Gulp!  But he told me I could do it.  And I did... kind of.  It wasn't pretty but I lifted it a couple of times.  It's just one example of a time when I've been at this gym and I did something I didn't think I could.

I'd love to talk to anyone about it if they're interested.

As always, thanks for reading,

Amanda
