Bridget is my hero! One of the original bootcampers and has never taken a break from the gym. She has come in consistently 3-4 times a week for the last 2 years. I dont even know where to start with the changes she’s made to her strength, flexibility, cardiovascular fitness and all over health. A true CrossFitter!
Tell us about your sports and fitness background?
I’m scratching my head trying to think of anything significant. I was mad on gymnastics at age ten after watching Nadia Comaneci win multiple golds at the Olympics. Our rotary washing line which substituted as my parallel bars was never the same again apparently. I eventually managed the splits and forward and backward walkovers before acknowledging I was probably never going to get to the Olympics myself. My twenties was probably the time I exercised the most. I was that person in a leotard at a Step Class in the 90’s. But it was in New York City - so hopefully that makes it sound a bit cooler!
What’s your profession?
I’m a Nurse Specialist at the Outpatient Liver Unit at Auckland Hospital. I support and monitor people who are undergoing treatment for hepatitis B and C. I also run the fibroscan (an ultrasound which measures liver stiffness to assess the degree of liver fibrosis) service for the Auckland Region.
Well it was really through Boot Camp. My niece Natalie was going and she looked fantastic so I invited myself along. Boot Camp was under Wykies direction but when he left it just wasn’t the same. Involvement in CrossFit was a result of following Wykie to his new venture.
Do you remember what your first WOD was?
Not really but I’m sure it would have involved running and squats and sit ups. I remember not feeling too bad the following day but it wasn’t to last…..
When did you start coming to AndFit?
From day one – I am one of the originals
What is your favorite WOD/Movement(s)? Least favorite?
I hate them all but love it at the same time too.
What are your short term and long term goals of CrossFit?
Short Term: To do a kipping pull up which will probably need to turn into a long term goal but I have determination.
What is your biggest accomplishment in CrossFit so far?
Stringing double unders together –it’s only taken me one year! Another great consequence is the improvement to my blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
What is something that we don’t know about you? (Interesting fact, accomplishment you are proud of, obscure/unique talent, funny story, etc.)
I’ve drunk coffee every day since the age of three.
Any advice for people just getting started?
Try everything. Don’t pick and chose your work outs – turn up for it all.
