I get asked often by women over the age of 40 if they are going to be able to handle my programs. 

Well, if a picture is worth a thousand words, and video runs at about 30 frames (pic’s) per second, then this 5 minute video is worth 9 million words!  It’s Crystal West doing about 5 straight minutes of bad-ass push up variations.  She’s over 40 and doesn’t let anything stop her. 

In fact in a recent blog post, she said she’s now worked out for a consecutive 766 days!  That’s over 2 years without a day off.  OH, heaven’s you say, she must be wicked over trained.  But, listen to her sensible approach to lifting:


“There are two fundamental ideas that I am aware of as I approach my playout. First, make sure that I am having fun. As my teacher says, ‘Fun is Fundamental.’ Secondly listen to my body that day and let it tell me what is right for me.”
