She is an inspiration! I am 65 years old and I am just getting back to working out. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@Kevinakevinakevina]

There's a thumbs up button... but there needs to be a heart button to click on because I LOVE THIS!!!!

[@mpbeautyinsight]

Agreed!!!!

[@ewp8092]

Great 👍

[@jdstep97]

Not just about living longer, but quality of life while you are here!

[@raynellemccathern3018]

This is amazing!! A 65-year-old woman doing cross fits.

[@indiesindie1984]

Wow! She is so inspiring

[@Maino88]

Been training at an affiliate for nearly 3 years. I've seen it transform people's lives. And there's really only one reason for it - people come back because they find it to be a social activity. It's an hour out of their busy working day where they get to have fun and be social. The results flow from that - both physically and mentally.

[@AlexandreDaSilvaActor]

Have fun and long life Freda, an example to follow

[@michaelandreini5977]

Great video too many people focus on the short term fitness goals abs and weightloss etc....there are also more beneficial things going on inside as well and Freda touched on it! Awesome!

[@Tuberted]

I am 58. I was scared to try it, but once I did, I was hooked. I just completed my first 6 weeks and I am seeing big changes. Thank you Fort Mill Cross Fit.

[@harishparmar614]

I don't do.cf anymore but these are the vids I miss.

[@marioestrada6963]

As a 55 plus CrossFit member I want more testimonials. I love seeing the kids testimony but we need more for us older athletes. Full details as far as what wods are best for recovery,what Rx wods are made for older athletes, nutrition for health what we need to eat to continue to build muscle bone density flexibility. Thank for this video thank you for listening

[@keithfine8020]

Amazing !!

[@miguelmawete]

Inspirational 65 YO and going on those pull-ups, the KB swings going all the way up...UAU!!!

[@akrylamid]

wait what! she does regular push-ups @ 65. life goals!

[@teresaanthony9987]

I showed my husband this, because he thinks I’m nuts for excersising so hard, I told him your only a few more years than me, and even older people do it. I like how I feel,

[@skeederpeter]

@crossFit I sent this to my mom. I hope she hears it. I'm L1, but she doesn't hear me. Maybe you can reach her with this excellent video. Thank you

[@wagnernoise]

Amazing and inspirational!

[@jackheadford8678]

[@matthewwilliams9335]

Cool!

[@yknetwork]

great..

[@Jibbie49]

So did Freda Burnette drop out of CF, as I searched the internet and only found her FB page, which had pictures of her and Don and HB wishes as she had turned 71. No mention of CF on her page, but she looked slim and healthy.

[@sherryYYC]

badass!!!

[@joe3276865536]

Pretty awesome squat form for a 65-year old.

[@melaniej.roberts206]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@darkgod5555]

"It hurts them to get up and down out of a chair" This is all of my inactive friends in their 30s already.

[@nachoijp]

damn, a grandma can do better pull-ups than me and I'm a 29 y.o. man... I'm so embarrassed, but not for long grandma, not for long ¬¬

[@skeederpeter]

She's probably been doing this longer than you and she likely weighs A LOT less than you. Keep in perspective, keep going and keep giving %100. You'll get there bud

[@hezilin]

So, whens the next road to the games episode being released?

[@ricardoacevedo7788]

BONITO Y MOTIVANTE VIDEO . POR FAVOR NO QUIERO SER AUTORITARIO , TAN SOLO VIDEOS DE TÉCNICAS EN ENVION Y POR LA SEÑORITA MAGGY POR LO DEL ESPAÑOL Y QUE ES UNA EXCELENTE INSTRUCTORA GRACIAS

[@MARKO-ls2kt]

One in 1.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000 :)

[@yknetwork]

i dont understand .what kind of these excercise..i know its good but i saw all videos crossfit..people are not doing chest workout,shoulders, biceps, triceps, they are not these body building excercise still.they have muscular body chest. also six packs. shoulder bucips.etc . they are just doing few excercise squat.kellte bell, still they got in shape...how ? any one can tell me ? which sport is this ? tx

[@teresaanthony9987]

I’m doing a 15lb. Kettle weight, what is yours, and do you feel okay after you excersise.

[@mauricemayfield73]

👍👍

[@rogerw4507]

It looks impressive but those large plates on the weight lifting bar are home gym plates not solid iron plates. My guess is she is lifting around 165 lbs, which is pretty good for her age.

[@teresaanthony9987]

What’s the weight you lift

[@crasidorin653]

From when Sport improve longevity ?

[@ewp8092]

👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤You are so beautiful

[@rojadoja]

Now the trick is to get more of her demographic using social media so they can see this! I'd send it to my grandparents if they could turn on a computer.

[@JanThorCrow]

Absolutely fantastic. Plan B might be to lovingly kidnap one of her friends and get them to a workout...
