“When I started my fitness journey at 40, I couldn’t do a push-up or run around the block. I didn’t know what a barbell or kettlebell was.
 At 56, I won the CrossFit Games and was crowned the Fittest Woman on Earth in the Masters division.
 I created this course to show you that you can start now—no matter your age or experience. You just need a guide and the willingness to begin.”
