I'd like to know her background. Was she always fit and strong? Is this her maintenance program?

Excerpts from the articles carly linked to (so excited to see a mention of step classes!):

"The attorney and adjunct college professor regularly attends a 6 a.m. CrossFit class at a gym near her Stamford, Conn., home.

"She has been active her whole life, usually taking a dance or step aerobics class two days a week, but became a CrossFit devotee five years ago when a friend introduced her to the intense workout program."

"Carozza also credits Bruzzone’s strength in her 70s to her consistency as well as her willingness to focus on her weaknesses, instead of just doing the exercises at which she is best.

"Bruzzone is also flexible, thanks to years of doing yoga, and watches her weight, though she doesn’t follow one particular diet."

"Mostly, Bruzzone said she just follows the advice she would give to other people of any age, which is to never give up and to pace yourself with exercise.

“I’m happy taking it slow,” she said. “At my age you don’t want to break anything. It takes too long to fix.”

https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Wellness/...ry?id=60753439

"Starting out as a ballet dancer, Bruzzone has been active throughout her life, whether dancing or taking group fitness classes at various gyms. However, about five years ago, when she was 67, she decided that she wanted to kick it up a notch. That’s when she decided to join the CrossFit gym following a friend’s recommendation."

"James helped Bruzzone achieve her goal of doing a pull-up earlier this year — something she had been working to accomplish for years."

"She adds that the the key is scaling the workouts to a level that is manageable for your own body’s capabilities, whether that is lighter weights or a slower pace, and learning the correct form to prevent injuries."

Amazing! I also feel vindicated because a while ago I started moving more slowly and with more intention during my workouts like she is doing in the video. Some move SO FAST. And Now I actually enjoy things like burpees because I do maybe half of what I did when I followed other people/programs.
