Athlete Spotlight: Lauren Buroker🏋
âś…What brought you to CrossFit in the first placeâť“
I loved Olympic lifting in high school. I was never brave enough to try it in the college gyms and lost touch. COVID left me high and dry on my training front and I needed an uplifting community that was face-to-face during a new season in my life. CrossFit checked all my boxes.
✅What was your first impression❓ How has that changed❓ I texted a couple of friends I knew loved CF: “First day at on ramp. Pray for me”. Then 46mins later: “Day one. I’m hooked.” What’s changed is my habits- everything I wanted. I’m in a healthier place: mentally, physically, and emotionally. It’s been a crutch and a whip in the best way.
✅What was your first “bright spot”❓
Ashamedly: I love the social apps connected. Every first workout being a PR is a great way to change the mindset of comparison game-especially within our self. And as a competitive enthusiast: watch out! fistbump
âś…What are you working on nowâť“ Squat Form. Ernesto gave me homework for range and flexibility. As a runner, my hip flexors are naturally really tight. Plus, I sprained my ankle (in my own time) and have had to be diligent to work through some specific form issues that were created in protecting my ankle subconsciously.
âś…What would you tell the old you prior to starting? Start sooner. You do have time time, you just have to make yourself the priority and act upon it.
