CSC Sweatiest Angel - June 2016

Congratulations to Lizabeth Lukesic on winning CSC's Sweatiest Angel award for the month of June! The Sweatiest Angel award is given each month to a CSC member who displays significant work ethic, a willingness to support others and a true sense of camaraderie inside the gym. 



Not only is Liz always smiling and showing a positive attitude but she has also made some done some tremendous work lately - posting faster times in WODs, using heavier weight than she ever has and improving greatly at many skills. Just as she says, you get out of it what you put in, and Liz works her ass off.

How long have you been doing CrossFit?

I started doing CrossFit-like workouts four years ago and joined CSC in July of 2014.

What do you do when you are not at CSC?

When I am not at CSC I enjoy spending time outdoors with my posse or experimenting in the kitchen.

When did you realize CrossFit was for you?
When I realized the amount of physical and mental strength required. Everyday has a different challenge.

What is your favorite WOD/movement?
T2B (toes to bar)

What is your LEAST favorite WOD/movement?
Wall Balls

One thing you've done at CSC you never thought you would do?

I have realized that with enough hard work and dedication you can achieve a lot.

What motivates you during a WOD?

The accessory work that follows.

What advice would you give someone just starting CrossFit?
Just like anything else you will most likely get out what you put in.

CrossFit, The Newbie Mindset

Dear CrossFit beginners, this is what your coach wants you to know... Whether you are a new CrossFit athlete, someone interested in trying our style of fitness or someone on the fence, we want you to understand our mindset when it comes to training you and our expectations for you on day one. We will also address the common concerns we hear from beginners. I have to get into better shape before I start CrossFit. I feel bad saying this but sometimes this statement makes us laugh. Perhaps it is the frequency with which we hear it. CrossFit is a strength and conditioning program built on a few guiding principles (constantly varied, functional movement, at high intensity) and created to improve overall health, wellness and fitness. It is a fitness program.
