SURVIVOR MUD RUN!

72 and Beyond

posted by Mike Choate
Someone shared the video below on facebook today and I just had to re post it here. I don't speak Swedish so I am not
sure what is being said. but from the video it's pretty safe to say this 72 yr old woman is a shinning example of what
we strive for here at CrossFit Modesto. I would bet money she eats a very healthy diet, gets a good nights sleep and doesn't
have excess stress.She started exercising when she was 46, see there is hope for those of us that are pushing 40+.
People have many different goals for doing CrossFit, some want to be great competitors and maybe even win the
CrossFit games, some want to lose weight or just feel better. I personally think the best goal is to be like Wanja Sjödins
and have the health & fitness at age 72 to be able to pop off 10 dips, 55 push ups, still be able to get out and enjoy life and
look at least ten years younger that the average person in your age group. I will take that over a trophy, cash, or any
amount of fame. Train hard, eat healthy, get plenty of rest, go out and enjoy life even when your 72 and beyond.
