Our Member in the Spotlight is Yvonne Tovar RRCFMB: How did you hear about CrossFit and what was your first experience/WOD? Well I had a friend that talked me in to going to a boot camp workout instead of In-Shape. I died. Didn’t go back for a month. Well that trainer decided to change things up and train us to do CrossFit and my first WOD was frustrating since I didn’t know the terms or moves. He signed us up for a competition at Hercules CrossFit (the Rookie Rumble) an...d we had only 3 months to learn. I placed 37 I think. Been addicted ever since. RRCFMB: How many days do you CrossFit? I crossfit 4-5x’s a day (we think she meant a week ) RRCFMB: What motivates you/keeps you coming back to the gym? I love to feel strong and I drink too much wine so those two things motivate me to wake up and get my ass to the gym. I have to burn off the wine and gain muscle at the same time. RRCFMB: Favorite thing about Monterey? The beaches and scenic views of course. RRCFMB: What accomplishment are you most proud (outside and inside of the gym)? Outside of the gym, besides raising 3 children I would have to say passing my Real Estate exam. It was a huge accomplishment. Inside the gym, being able to keep up with the 20-30 yr old ladies. RRCFMB: After a hard workout, what is your favorite meal? I usually have a protein shake after my workouts but if I had to choose an actual meal it would be avocado toast with an egg. RRCFMB: What is one goal you are currently working on? I’m currently working on my gymnastics moves since I’ve never been able to do them properly. I’m working on being more consistent with practice and form when I do attempt them instead of quitting. RRCFMB: If you could wake up tomorrow with a cool superhero power, what would you choose and why? I would definitely have the super power to zap from one place to another in a flash. Maybe this will help to not be late to the gym anymore and I’ll be able to travel without actually flying in a plane.
