First Pull-up @ 59 years old!

YouTube Preview Image

Congratulations are in order!  If you have been to the 5pm or 6pm classes you can’t help but notice the bubbly personality in the video above!  If you don’t know her name its Teri Cappuccio and she is 59 years young.  She has been with us for 6 months and just got her first kipping pull ups. In 59 years of life she has never been able to complete one.  Simply amazing Teri!  She started off on ring rows like many of our clients do.  She progressed to thick bands on the pull up bar and steadily worked her way to smaller bands.  If she can do it so can you!  Its real simple.  Just continue to work hard in the warm up and before you know it the progression will take you to the same place Teri is right now.  The beauty of Crossfit is that we can make it work for all fitness levels and all walks of life.  Be sure to tell Teri congrats on her accomplishment.  Great work Teri!  We are all so very proud of you and proud to be your trainers!  Keep it up.

    Congratulations Teri! I did my first one that same night but when Jeremy went to video tape me I lost my mind and couldn’t do one…I guess I have a bad case of camera shyness!! Way to go!!
