Tell us about you? - age/nicknames/background

I'm Kylie aka Kyesta or Kye to my family & friends.  I've been married for 4 years to my husband Steve & have 2 kids, Talia, 22 & Alex, 19.  I work part-time in retail & I'm 41 this year #gomasters

What did you do fitness wise before CrossFit?

Before Crossfit I did Bootcamp -  group fitness at a gym that then changed to Crossfit.  All through my schooling I played softball, I loved it! 

Why CrossFit?

Why not Crossfit??!! I love that you get to try & do things you never thought you could! I really enjoy the spirit of Crossfit, it's an individuals sport with such a supportive atmosphere.

What results have you seen while at CFMB

From being at CFMB my overall health & fitness have obviously improved but the biggest change is in my physical strength & also the confidence to just 'give it a go'.  It's also been helpful in achieving other goals I've set myself outside of Crossfit.  I think it really just helps with my general wellbeing, both physical & mental. 

Favourite exercise?

cleans

Least favourite?

thrusters

Favourite food/?

all of the food!! Can't choose just one food but favourite drink is Bacardi in any way, shape or form!! 

Who or what inspires you?

Someone who inspires me is anyone who can set a goal & work hard to achieve it! I love that, especially when someone says they can't or doubts their ability! 

Advice to new comers?

My advice to new comers...just keep turning up & learn to love the aches & pains, they never go away! #rapigel
