My mom was always super supportive of anything I wanted to do. Back when I competed in CrossFit I was known as one of the strongest women in the field, but in my family and the way I was raised strength was normal and expected (my sister is stronger than I ever was! 🙂).

Almost exactly one year before I competed in my first CrossFit Games in 2011, I had stepped back into the weight room after about a 2.5 year hiatus. Prior to that break I’d had over a decade of consistent weight training under my belt. After I became a mom, for convenience I had leaned more heavily into walking and running, startin

Freeing oneself from the quest to always be on the latest training trend is an incredibly valid option. Evolving over time is different than following trends. When the trend is, “high quality movement,” I’ll be interested. | Elisabeth Akinwale
