This year I joined the ranks of people whose lives have been transformed by CrossFit and Paleo in more ways than I could recall. Not only my health and strength transformed, but my business, relationships and energy in all aspects of life. Beyond my CrossFit life lessons that I get to apply everywhere I am certainly in better shape than I was even when running marathons or doing high school sports. It is amazing what a 6-month CrossFit journey could do… I’m so looking forward to an even more amazing 2012 of Elite Fitness.
