February's CrossFitter of the month! Amanda Jennings!
Congratulations to CrossFit Silver Fox's CrossFitter of the month....
Amanda Jennings!
What made you want to join CrossFit Silver Fox?
This stunning young lad :-) … but in seriousness the article on The Batavian/The Batavia Daily News made me aware there was a CrossFit gym in Batavia. I had watched the competitions on TV and wanted to see what WODs were all about for myself. After talking about it with Michele we decided to sign up together. I'm so thankful for her because I'm not certain that I would've signed up alone.
I thought it was going to be very intimidating. I wasn't sure if I was going to fit in or be able to do it. The only CrossFit I had ever known was from watching the competitions on television. I now realize those competitors on television aren't possibly human. haha Anyone can do CrossFit, I didn't know workouts could be scaled to your level of ability.
What is the biggest thing you've noticed since you began?
I've realized how much I enjoy working out and how good it makes you feel. There have been days I feel tired and don't want to go to the gym, but once I'm done working out i feel so much better. Finishing a WOD makes me feel accomplished for the day.
What have you improved most in?
Confidence. It is sometimes still scary to try new things, but you just have to believe in yourself. You have to keep practicing things you want to improve in.
What do you enjoy the most at the gym?
The people. I'm thankful for the new friendships I've made. I look forward to seeing everyone and working out with them. Most everyone has a great sense of humor, CFSF makes any bad day much, much better.
What differences have you noticed in yourself?
Ive always enjoyed working out but CrossFit just takes it to a whole new level. I used to feel guilty if I didn't go to the gym. CrossFit makes me totally enjoy working out, If I have to miss a day I feel like I'm totally missing out. Missing a day sometimes feels like missing a week
What is your Kryptonite?
Burpees… and kettlebells, I thought I would enjoy working out with them, not the case.
What do you like the most about CrossFit?
It is never the same and it never gets easy… for anyone. Everyone has a certain something that they are good at, except for Jason.. he is pretty much good at everything. :-) Even strangers think he is incredible.
What do you like the least?
Finishing a workout and wishing I would've pushed myself a little harder.
What are your future goals at the gym?
I want to continue to improve in my abilities. Continue to do things I never thought were possible for myself.
Amanda Jennings!
Amanda is a pleasure to have in class. CrossFit Silver Fox is fortunate to have such a motivated & hard working lady in the gym. Amanda is kicking ass at CrossFit Silver Fox. She recently PR'd her back squat at 245#!!! If we can brainwash her a little more, we see competitions in her future.
As per the norm, we asked our CrossFitter of the month a few questions. Please take the time and read her responses.
