Tell us about yourself…. I’ve been married to a cute man for 21 years I have 4 kids 18,15,12, and 9. I love people and having fun.

What is your favorite WOD or Lift? Something with jump roping and sit ups push ups.
What is your favorite skill/movement that you have learned at CrossFit IoTA? Pull ups I’m working on double unders
How has CrossFit changed your life? A lot! I have had pain all over my body for a while. Even though I would work out all the time the pain never went away, but with CrossFit the pain has gone away for the first time in a long time I have no back pain at all and no pain any where else. Amazing hu! It feells so much better. Having help with the diet even made things better. I can’t believe the changes.
