Fit at 56: Lucie Hobart

[@jpulizzano]

Great article. Never to old to START. At 67 I have been doing it now for 6 months and just love it. I come from a running / triathlon background so some of the drills seem to flow easily but when it comes to weights, it has and will be, a slow learning curve. With that said, I am seeing progress but at the older age, I have to be real careful not to push myself into the injury zone. As she pointed out, being consistent is the key. But Crossfir is just fun AND those young "kids" are very supportive of us old farts. By the way, big acknowledgement to Jeff Rufatto's Crossfit 262 and all the supporting cast.

[@sherrylynne6328]

So well done! This was beautiful and very inspiring. I just started Crossfit and I turn 52 years old next week. Thank you for this, it was just what I needed. 😍

[@MikeRoberts1964]

Congrats on beginning your journey.

[@CFTrucker]

Sherry Lynne congrats on beginning your quest for the best you, you can be! It will be hard, but if you really want it, you will get better. And when you get better, you will love it even more!

[@sherrylynne6328]

Thank you! I appreciate your support. This community is so welcoming. ☺💕

[@puestocero]

Great to see what you have done Lucie. We need more people like you to encourage the rest.Age is just a figure. I started mountainbike racing at 68. I,ve finished in the top two in the 7 championships that I have competed in. Now is the time to change so at 71 I,m starting Crossfit training and will compete in my first event next March. My wife is also now hooked on Crossfit too and trains every day...........wait for it............she is 77!!!!

[@marymccabe2728]

I am 60; take a barbell and dance class some lifting at home. Want to do more. Age is no limit. I too used to smoke and couldn't run two feet but the more I do the easier it gets. Don't give up. For those encouraging your mothers, thank you, that is wonderful

[@CFTrucker]

James, you were one of my L-1 instructors at Mayhem and I learned a lot from you. I cheered you on at the games and when you won. But what you have done for your mom, is truly the greatest thing a child can give a parent, health and fitness. Hope I can give my mother the same gift one day.

[@DebWashington]

THANK YOU! I’m 62 and I’ve been talking about starting. I’m going to check out the place, right near me and sign up.

[@jasondavis8551]

Masterfully done - this to me is better PR than the CF games going mainstream. Keep up the solid work CFHQ.

[@staceyrowell1825]

Thank you CrossFit and Lucie Hobart! I'm 51 and have been struggling with motivation and consistency. THANKYOU!

[@IrfanSehic]

I wish I can do this for my mom.

[@shelly5596]

Wow you are such a inspiration, and what an awesome son! I wish I had a motivator. I’ll be 49 his month, I’m in the worst shape of my life, sever sarcopenia from being inactive for about 8 years. I’m also trying to quit smoking cigarettes and I use pot to help me sleep. You give me inspiration! Thank you for sharing.

[@Sunnyday069]

Nice work, Lucie! And way to go, James for inspiring your mother to change.

[@janicehurley8618]

I am 64 and I have being doing Crossfit for 8 years.....the right coach is everything for keeping me healthy .....great video

[@Luciana-Superluci-Marchi]

Hey Janice! I know you from fb group , you rock!

[@calonstanni]

I'm 56 and 30 lbs overweight and haven't really MOVED in years. I just joined my local Crossfit gym today so I'm looking for inspirational videos and... LOOK! I found one!

[@TheSusanM]

Great video, so inspiring. I m 54 and just started Crossfit and loving it. I need to know more about the diet😊

[@BarbellsandBeauty]

Look at her arms! Love them

[@marialindberg1698]

So Inspirational for me. Thank you for sharing!

[@melonskyutube]

Absolutely inspiring!!! Im 46 and past years I've been dedicated to various fitness- bootcamp, yoga, pilates, cardio kickboxing.. hot and cold classes and lost 20 lbs and gained muscle and speed and i think i look and 10 years younger and i just became certified this year to teach and hopefully pass on the gifts. I love that you started 10 years later than me and doing cross fit which is super challenging!!! You give me hope that i can continue this lifestyle into my senior hood. So thanks for sharing this!

[@roses81731]

Wow.....so inspired...I am stuck on the overhead squat......will keep working on it after seeing Mrs. Hobart rock it. =) I did the zone diet years back in the 90s. Still have the two books....will dust the covers and dig in again. Thanks for this video for us older folks. =)

[@drivenblack77]

Really need more than a "like' button here! Tons of respect for this woman and all people that do something similar to this later on in life! Goes to show that age really is just a number and you can be fit well into your 50's, 60's and beyond!

[@EJess5]

Love it!!! I love the games but this is what CrossFit is all about. Go Lucie!!

[@shimmiegirl]

Thank you for this video!!!! I am a 60 year young female reclaiming my own health and love CrossFit!

[@aassi22]

Your mom is awesome. It makes me wanna do the same thing for my mom.

[@davidlara105]

This video made me cry and inspired me to do the same and even more for my mom. She's getting old, of course but is not the time to go heaven yet, there is a lot to do!

[@91200victor]

Thank you Lucy, very inspirational; I started CrossFit 1 year ago and I fully understand you. I have not achieved yet so much progress as you but I am hoping to. Best wishes. Victor. By the way I am 57 and never been better. ;-)

[@naturalinshapeover5014]

I am impressed. Respect.

[@oldnatty61]

The body adapts to what it is required to. It's all about desire, will, and drive.

[@deunanmi]

My first pull up was a BIG THING for me too! Working to get my first muscle up now. It doesn't feel like I ever will but I know I always feel like I will never succeed then suddenly I' m there, so I keep going 💪🏼

[@shawnbell782]

I’ll be 54 next month and I love CrossFit!! This is inspiring.

[@DavidCruz-qn6cq]

You're a powerful soul. True inspiration...

[@phont24]

Such great inspiration. Also...what's the recipe for that burger?

[@mamaj8810]

wow- you go girl!!!!!!

[@zcvhzd]

I keep trying to get my mom to start CF but she's resistant because of her weight. Been trying to help her with a simple diet and exercise plan. I hope to get her to the point she's comfortable going.

[@cheriseelliott9230]

Jatok when I started CrossFit I weighed almost 280 pounds. I was scared just to walk in there. I thought the owner would turn me away. It took 4 months for me to do a full squat, 6 months to do a burpee, 12 months to do a push-up, and 18 to do a box jump. I'm almost 54 years old and still can't do many of the movements, but slow improvement is still improvement. Tell your mom the journey is its own reward. For me, CrossFit has been a gift from heaven. Good luck to both of you!

[@ydonnay3145]

How your mom doing. This is my 3rd year at CF, I am 58. The best as you encourage her.

[@kfphotography78]

[@Rodrigos.godoy86]

Her body is really very fit, but she looks older than 56.

[@edakaratass]

I am a smoker too and i am just 18 years old.I do not know how to quit that shit

[@slammers6158]

Start CrossFit and believe me, your body will force you to quit. You will lose the desire to smoke.

[@kevindrake714]

Eda Karatas Jesus

[@edakaratass]

julio1c1saga Thank you so much for your comment!! You made my day.

[@zamansyed86]

Eda Karatas I was a smoker for 14years nd left smoking joined gym 💪🏻 no cravings whts so ever The best way to stop smoking is by smoking with a transparent filter . Once you are done , just look at all the tar nd chemicals which are in tht filter. Say to urself , this shit is going into my lungs nd lungs look like this filter . :) so quit as soon as possible nd join gym. Hope this might work fr u as it worked fr me . Blessings..

[@marymccabe2728]

I tried a bunch of times and finally just got sick of it, I used the patch. Try that and see if it works

[@yoshimasaki6466]

badass

[@astharajsingh6008]

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👌🏻

[@horsespiritDK]

You should drop the meat and animal products and go 100%#plantbased and look up intermittent fasting and Autophagy its so antiaging Im 56 and i look much younger and i was a life time smoker. Its so life changing to start with our true diet and do fasting. Maybe you dont believe that you can be better and stronger,but believe me and many top athletes is doing so too Wish you will look into it,you will be so surprised and have a even greater life 💪💚 If you want you can find me on Facebook 😘

[@alanross3843]

Why does CrossFit have a trademark?

[@thegreycommittee2413]

I think the son just wanted a fit girlfriend I got that vibe I watched it again and still got that vibe.

[@suivaxbroussard9851]

[@claredodd1258]

'Aging' is BS.
