CrossFit - Laurie Nelson Starts CrossFit in her 60's

[@jeanniekim3759]

I started CrossFit at 50 and it’s one of the best thing I have done and will continue to do,!

[@Ariadne76-k3d]

Me too, I started around age 54, and I am so glad I did!

[@miguelmarlowe6]

Jeannie Kim I started at 50 as well...with no plans of stopping. Keep it up.

[@johnkeith2450]

65 here

[@darlenehugheswhite3156]

I totally agree with Laurie! I started CrossFit at 59, 4 months after having a Total Hip Replacement and feel stronger now that I did decades ago.

[@morganderrick6912]

Darlene White that’s cool 👍🏻 How long do you intend to continue with the exercise

[@mariethaimmelman8515]

Thank you for inspiring me,..I am starting on Monday at 56 years old

[@MaxSafeheaD]

Take care of your form and have a lot of fun =)

[@westy40]

Hope you're still doing it one year later!

[@calisongbird]

Marietha Immelman how has it been going?

[@marciestraud]

Thank you for being a role model for all of us seniors!

[@cindygrajeda2860]

I will be 60 in six months and I have been doing CrossFit 5 days a week for almost 2 yrs and the changes I’ve gotten are truly amazing! Loved watching this video !! Great Job!! #crossfitatanyage

[@morganderrick6912]

cindy grajeda 👍🏻 How long have you been exercising and how long do you intend to ?

[@RedSpiralHandTV]

I am 63 and currently in my 2nd month of crossfit. Doing highly scaled exercises but already noticing benefits in my everyday life!

[@bradfoster874]

59 and looking into it.

[@jeanettewayland6039]

59 and started it in August 2022! Former gymnast here and I'm really enjoying building strength...slowly...and how many of the moves remind me of gymnastics 😎

[@johnkeith2450]

65, in month 5....Amazing results

[@gladissemensato2061]

Great! I am practicing crossfit in my city Porto Alegre/ Brasil and loving. You are a inspiration. I have 51 .

[@nivledsttaw]

You are a true inspiration Laurie!!!! I don't know what else to say.

[@GalileoSmith]

What amazes me is the different levels of conditioning in "healthy" older people. As a 65 year-old who still keeps in contact with many high school friends, I really can see the extreme differences. I am on the upper end of the spectrum. I do a weight lifting regime three times a week and power walk four days a week for 45 minutes to an hour. I shoot baskets on a basketball court for about a half hour a couple times a week, just to maintain some coordination and flexibility. I weight about 185 pounds which is about ten pounds more than I had when I graduated from high school. I have a classmate who really does nothing in terms of fitness. More than a few dozen stairs takes a 15 second rest. He weights about 100 pounds more than he did the summer after high school. He complains about knee pain though he says there is structurally nothing wrong with either knee. He is literally a semi-invalid though there is really nothing physically impeding him from fitness. He tells me that he simply does not have the self-determination to begin an exercise program. It is really rather sad.

[@karcher2801]

I LOVE this video!!! I needed that today as I was feeling pretty old and tired at 39!! Lol! Thanks for sharing your story!

[@missmjl2468]

I am a broken 52 year old ex PT. I need to get back to fit, I was considering crossfit and you have settled my fears and given me inspiration. Thank you.

[@xladenx]

Did you start yet? I really hope so. I am the owner of Laurie's gym- CrossFit Malibu- and I just turned 50. YOu can do it.

[@andrewbell8837]

I started at 70. I did and passed CF1 at 72. At 77 still making gains and going to regular classes. No plan to stop. Never an athlete in my life.

[@virginiadavies7077]

I would have never believe that women like Laurie Nelson Starts started doing CrossFit at her 60's, this raised my Goosebumps. Very inspirational and help me to understand that age is just numbers; it’s your inner spirit that help you to achieve toughest job in simple manner with satisfying results.

[@stedmans4christ]

I'm sooooo inspired and completely adoration of you Laurie...just started cross fit and been about 8 times now...I have counted each one at this point bc I have grown stronger with each and every single visit. I am blown away by crossfit and what a dramatic change it makes on ones life...there is even a bond between those you work out with that is somewhat unexplainable.

[@xladenx]

Hi from [e-mail]... how is your journey going?!@ We hope you kept up with it,.... Laurie has!

[@e.bellanca9830]

Have been doing CrossFit for 4 years now started at the age 40 will never go back to anything else. CrossFit forever.

[@Kiwiwanderer]

[@kushmainali]

What a beautiful story!

[@drivenblack77]

Absolutely LOVE it! Way to go Laurie!

[@jioce1]

Just what I needed to see. I can't squat low, or lung especially with one leg and I'm 57 I've been going to they gym and wondering if I'm going to get better. Thank you for confirming it will and does.

[@Ariadne76-k3d]

It does! I couldn't do either of those things either, and now I can! I was too stiff to even put a bar on my shoulders.

[@craigyoung1636]

This lady is nails tough! Love her spirit

[@gainedinthegarden3925]

I'm 38 years old and I thought the statue of limitation to do CrossFit was long gone for me.. so witnessing this video, and this woman at the age of 60 do some pull ups when in fact I can't even do one is very inspirational💪👍👏

[@taoist32]

38 is young. I'm 41and I don't think I've reached my potential.

[@runsontrails1]

Never ever think you are too old, too broken, to get up and do it again. Great video. I'm creeping up on 60. Modify what you can not do yet.

[@missjacksonla]

Laurie Nelson is my new hero!! I'm turning 44 at the end of the month and am exercising quite a bit as I'm training for the LA marathon. Crossfit twice a week, yoga once a week, and 3/4 runs a week. However, I'm feeling older each day when I look at those around me at the gym and everything always hurts. My dream is to just do one damn pull up! Now that I've seen Laurie do it (and more!), maybe it's actually possible. Thanks for the inspiration! :D

[@xladenx]

@@missjacksonla Did you get your first pull up yet?! Come to CrossFit Malibu and meet Laurie and other inspiring athletes

[@christyjackson7668]

[@petersellers8733]

I am a trainer where im from. There are alot of older man like 75 and that age range but no women. I think more women that age should consider weigth training.

[@FrozenSurf]
