I was talking to my brother, when he mentioned that he saw the list of exercises and number of reps outlined for my 67th birthday workout. He commented that he could not do one rep of any of those exercises now. I told him that when I started with Lyonel two years ago, I could not do any of those exercises either.
Two years later, I have done two Crossfit Open Competitions (senior and scaled to my abilities), the ’12 days of Christmas workout’, the Murph Workout (scaled), two Adex club and mace workshops, and enjoyed every minute of it.
My only regret is that it took me eight years of unsuccessful self training to realize I needed professional help. The rest is very doable.
