Though she be but little, she is FIERCE!

Meet Our March Warrior of the Month

Lisa Orndorff

Why did you start CrossFit? 
I’ve always enjoyed working out but was needing a new challenge. I had heard about it before but was unsure what it was exactly. I tried out the free week and I remember Sarah asking me if that was all I was going to lift while we were maxing out on a push press. I surprised myself by almost throwing a hundred pounds above my head. I joined it because I realized with CrossFit I was stronger than I thought.

Favorite Exercise? 
Deadlifts, box jumps and plank. Oh whoops! That’s 3!

Least Favorite? 
No least favorite. I love it all. [Editor's note: Girl, you cray cray. I could name a few hated movements!]

Athletic goals in the next year (CrossFit or otherwise)? 
Get a muscle up and a handstand walk. Also perfect my pistols and handstand push ups.

Advice for newbies?
Sometimes it’s what your doing after class not just in class. I stay after as much as I can just to work on a few movements. You're not limited to 1 hour.

Favorite Pandora Station? 
Sum 41

Lastly and most importantly, why do you sweat so much?
Sweat? I glisten :)
