The Last Workout

Meg, Amber, Meghan, and Robin
after their last workout together as part of the women's program!

I can't explain how excited I am for these women! We have had such an incredible month. It has been such a pleasure to watch all of the progress being made. Attitudes have shifted. At the beginning of the program everyone was a little reserved and just getting a feel for the program. Now these women truly believe that they can take on any task that is handed to them, and they do! The energy level of the group has gone up significantly. Each of them shows up ready to go, and I know that this energy is transferring to their daily lives as well.

In addition to all these important changes, there of course have been dramatic physical changes. This morning we did our final weigh in and measurements and the results were too good to keep to ourselves!

Meg - lost a total of 7" and 14lbs. Amazing!
Amber - lost a total of 5.5" and 6.2lbs to make for a dramatic shift in body composition.
Meghan - lost a total of 5.5" and 5lbs
Robin - lost a total of 2" and 6 lbs remarkable results for someone who was already lean and fit.

These ladies are an inspiration to me and many others. They have worked hard for the past three months and should be very proud of themselves. I know I am. Great work ladies! I'll miss our small, quirky, tight knit group but will look forward to having you in 7am classes.

Who Are You Becoming, Amber?

At the start of this program we promised that there would be changes, physical and emotional changes. Today, Amber took a moment to reflect on who she has become since starting CrossFit training with the Women's Program 2 1/2 months ago. The changes can definitely be seen and her hard work is paying off. Great job Amber.

Here is a quick video of the ladies hard at work. Working out in a group can be very motivational. Not only is there a bit of healthy competition, but the support and encouragement is amazing to watch. We often end workouts with cheering, hugging, pools of sweat and laughter, all signs of a great workout!

CrossFit makes Mt. Washington seem easy!

Devorah recently climbed Mt. Washington and attributes the ease and enjoyment her hike to her CrossFit training. In the last 3 months she has gained the strength and endurance necessary for her climb, but also the mental fortitude to make it to the top with a smile on her face. During her training at CrossFit Boston Devorah has learned just what she is capable of and how to push herself further. She has trained her physical and mental toughness and it certainly paid off during her 10 hour hike up Mt. Washington. Her next goal is Mt. Katahdin in September, and with another month of CrossFit under her belt she will be more than prepared to tackle it head on!

Measurable Results! 18"

These women so far have lost 18 inches total! We took measurements from the chest, waist, hips and thigh and these women trimming down. On average these women have each lost 2.5 inches in the short two months that they have been involved in this program. All of the women have reported an increase in energy and better functioning in their jobs and home life.

Some other measurable results can be seen in the workouts that we time and score.
On June 17th we performed a 15 minute workout. The women had to complete as many rounds as possible in 15 minutes of 5 pullups, 10 pushups, and 15 squats. (each of these movements can be modified for each individual's needs) We repeated this workout again on August 7th and all of the women improved their score, which means that they got more work done in the same period of time, which means they are getting fitter!

Robin improved her score from 6 rounds to 9!
Meg completed 7.5 rounds the first time and 10 last time!
Amber's score jumped from 6 to 10!

Great work ladies. You are all becoming fitter, leaner and healthier. I'm very proud of the work you put in and the dedication you have shown. It is really paying off.
