Hi Sara!

Thank you so much! I will chat with Jen and see if she can post more info about her routine. I know that CrossFit posts their workout of the day (WOD) on http://crossfit.com, as well as, other health and fitness info, so you could check that out for more details.

jennifer,
You are so right. You have to listen to yourself and do what's right for you. Our purpose in life comes from within and everything we do can lead us in the right direction, if we listen to it. Thank you for the inspiring story .

Great Article! Thanks Jennifer. It is very true that many of us do not take the time to truly understand our bodies. I can feel that certain foods and drinks are not processed efficiently in my body and promote retention. Other foods leave me feeling light and energized. When lifting I was always told to lift heavy to build muscle mass but realized that heavy weight-training is not for everyone and can be harmful if not done properly. My body type is not meant to be big and bulky but slim and trim and responds best to aerobic-type training. Anyway, thanks again Jennifer!

Wow Jen good stuff…. I could so relate to this and it's so weird that I was thinking about this the other day. I work in a gym and everyone is always giving me advice on what I should do to reach my goals and get back into shape. I think you are right and I should really look inside myself and figure out what it is I would like to do and come up with a plan myself. Gracias mija for being such an inspiration!!!!

WOW, this is such a refreshing article! Sheila I hope you have more like this one coming for the New Year!
I could really relate to what Jennifer is saying. I too have struggled listening to everyone else and not myself enough. I have tried every diet, believing that someone must know better then me. I also found this true in how I was working out. I always thought in order to get into great shape I had to spend hours at the gym focusing on one body part each time. Well,I looked inside to what it was I wanted to do to get fit.Guess what,I too found Crossfit. It allowed me to get in a great work out,push myself, & and in the process meet some wonderful people. So,it is true;sometimes if we trusted our inner voice a little more we might find what it is we are truly looking for.

She has found the key – everyone is different and has to find their OWN answers. If you try to follow another person's routine, you will most likely fail. It has to be a combination of what works for you. I am 41 and have been up and down my whole adult life in working out/eating well, etc. I think I just figured this out this new year – stop talking about it and do it! Thanks!
