CrossFit Crescenta Valley

Dear CFCV family, Hope you are staying safe and healthy. Team we are going to have to cancel classes today. The air quality is really bad due to the fires. We will resume classes tomorrow. Thank you for understanding. We want to keep you safe and healthy. I will be emailing you an at home workout for today. ... Sincerely, Coach Vaz

Repost... Dear Patient and Friends, In 2015, I weighed 210 (BMI of 33 "obese") and felt that I could not move in my overweight body, even though I put in my 2-3 morning sessions at the YMCA doing cardio workouts. I felt stiff, had random pains in my knees and back, and was short of breath walking up a flight of stairs. I was tired of feeling "old." A dear patient of mine recommended that I see her rolfer to loosen up my body. I thank Eric Shah for loosening up my fat body ...enough for me to feel more flexible and less painful. I also received acupuncture treatments from my dear friend Lisa Weber to activate some of my dormant muscles. I texted Lisa who is also a certified Nutritionist to direct me to some good references to begin a Paleo or Keto diet. I was determined to change. From October 15th, 2015 to January 15th, 2016, I lost 25 lbs on Paleo (that's right, through the toughest time to diet: Halloween candy, Thanksgiving feasting, Christmas gifts and family dinner, and Chinese New Year banquets). Nothing was going to deter me from my goal. I enrolled at my new gym at CrossFit Crescenta Valley in Montrose. I loved all of it: the ever changing workouts, the excellent coaching, "red lining" during workouts (at moments thinking, "this would be a good time to have a heart attack"), the feeling of accomplishment after every workout, the community of friends, yes, and even some of the raunchy hip-hop that gave me some of the anger to push through mental barriers. I lost another 15 lbs by the end of my anniversary with crossfit. Now I was a thinner 170 (BMI of 25 "nearly normal"), with a belly roll that Mom would still call "baby fat." But now was able to do 12 straight pull-ups with that "baby fat" and "Murph" (1 mi. run, 300 squats, 200 pushups, 100 pull ups, ending with another 1 mi. run) in just over 50 minutes..... #crossfit #gym #fit #wod #doctorsofcrossfit #montrose #lacrescenta
