Ames and her mum, Deirdre
Amy’s got her mother involved in CrossFit, reckon any of you can convince your family members to start working out? For anyone with a subscription to the CrossFit Journal, make sure you download “Training with Jimmy Barker – Mary Conover 1″ and show it to as many people you know. It’s truly an inspiration.
My mother would actually be interested if there were a group of women her own age working out. The reason she quit rock-climbing was because she felt out of place.
Well done to Dierdre for not only giving CF a go but sticking to it. I feel confident in saying this puts her in the top 1% of her demographic. Same goes for Bobby’s mom with rock-climbing. Well beyond my mom’s capacity.
Still very frustrated from last night. I can power snatch 55 but can’t snatch it? Damn central nervous system.
Which reminds me. Has anyone else noticed that Amy’s cursing, drinking and spitting on the floor during WOD’s decreases substantially when her mom is around?
Maybe some night we should have a bring your parent\older relative to CrossFit night? Kind of like show and tell but with burpees and thrusters.
I know asking a womans age is a mortal sin but just so I can try and convince Mary, my mother who is in her early 50s, how old roughly is Amy’s mom? I’ll pitch the idea to mum when I’m home this weekend and I’ll get back to you guys.
Bobby, Mary would be a similar age as Deirdre.
I remember showing this video to my folks, explaining the benefits of deadlifting and box steps, how this would add to her overall vigour and quality of life.
My mum’s bewildered response was a “why?”
A parent/sibling night would be cool. Who’s in? When would suit people?
Cool, as I said I’ll pitch it to her this weekend and see what she says. As long as there’s at least one other woman there her own age she’ll go along with it I’d say. Count me in anyway
Great idea, I’ll pitch it to the mother (similar age bracket).
I wonder do normal people race their parents?
I’ve managed to convert Will’s Oly-Lifting videos to a watchable format of mp4, I’ll try get them on disk tonight.
You know Colm, I don’t use the word ‘Hero’ very often…
Go mam!!!
