Efficacy of the CrossFit protocol is proven again....and again ...and
By now most have you have seen the postings we have done featuring Brenda Glidden. Her achievements here at CrossFit have been nothing short of spectacular. She has been such a model CrossFitter and inspired so many that all of her immediate family and most of her extended family are currently being coached here. She is not the only person in her family to inspire and amaze us. Her sister,Renee Cortland has lost over 20lbs and is a size 2! Her husband Greg Glidden has lost over 40lbs! All of this doesn't even begin to touch on the athletic progress they have all made. So Today I want to share with you Brenda's lastest affirmation of CrossFit Relentless and our program. Here it is....
Hi Merle!
Today I had a general physical and my doctor was stunned at my transformation! The last time I had a physical was 5 years ago in my early 30s. My doctor was amazed to see how much weight I lost...that is already public knowledge, 70 lbs. She wanted to know what I had been up to so, I described Crossfit and how much fun I was having and how hard I worked on my diet.
Superficially, the weight loss is great and going down six sizes is a joy when shopping! However, I had not giving much thought to the less apparent health benefits of Crossfit. I have a family history of high cholesterol and heart disease so my cholesterol ratio and levels are monitored periodically by my physician, to ensure that I am in a healthy range. My doctor informed me today, that my cholesterol level improved by 35 points, which removes me from the borderline range I was in, in years past, which places me within a very healthy range! Most people go in the opposite direction at my age, she explained.
While there are many aspects of my health that are genetically predetermined or a matter of chance, I feel so empowered that I have worked hard with your help, to reverse the direction my health was headed toward. I cannot say enough good things about everything you do as trainers and the stellar gym you run! Crossfit has drastically altered my long term health in 9 months; what more could I ask for in a fitness program?
