Last summer, Lizzie attended my summer camp along with my little sister Sydney from Wisconsin. They had been modern day pen pals via text messages and facebook. They arranged plans to visit me in Austin over the summer, under one condition... they had to attend one of my Kids camps at CrossFit Central.
Granted this was a record breaking HOTT summer, over 100 consecutive days over 100 degrees the girls faced some pretty intense conditions.
CrossFit brought these two girls together, and has impacted their lives more than they may be aware. After the camp, Lizzie embraced living a healthy lifestyle, making what may seem like minor changes. But in reality they will have major impacts on her for the REST of her LIFE!
Being a teenager is one of the most crucial times in anyone's life. It can be the best time or the worst. Today, I feel like kids need more and more guidance on what's REALLY important in life. Positive Mental Attitude needs to be taught just like any other subject in school. It is so easy to get caught up in the opinions and negativity of others.
Think when you've personally felt your best... your sweet spot. Might sound like this: your workouts are on, your diet is on point, there's balance in your life, a clarity, positive energy, calming sensation, doing things you love to do DAILY and/or unexplainable happiness. In order to even come close to finding your sweet spot you need balance. Emotional, physically, mentally, spiritually. One week of CrossFit Kids helped Lizzie get closer to her sweet spot.
I asked her a few questions about her experience, and well if you know Lizze she has quite the sense of humor. So I also asked her mother, who has seen the positive impact it has had on her.
