Terry says, “If you think you’re too old for CrossFit, think again!
“I was a certified Aerobics Dance instructor for approximately 8 years before I began weight lifting in the 90′s, at which point I also began practicing yoga for flexibility and relaxation. In recent years, in spite of trying to stay fit, I was finding my stamina and strength declining. Then in the summer of 08, my sister Cindy convinced me to join her in our brother Troy’s garage, where he introduced us to CrossFit, and discovered for himself the specific challenges of coaching “silvers”. Since then I have become considerably stronger, reaching my personal goal of doing strict pull-ups and push-ups within the first year. I now feel I am in the best shape of my life, stronger and healthier than ever thanks to CrossFit’s functional movements.
In addition, after experimenting for years with several different food combination’s and diets, in the spring of 2009, under Troy’s guidance, I began the Paleo/Zone Diet. I unexpectedly found this eating program to be the answer to some of my “aging” issues, and it has helped me to stay slim and healthy without much effort.
