There was a spread posted in the Crossfit Journal this past december. It was of pictures of women working through the 2009 Crossfit Games.
It was truly inspiring.
Fashion magazines constantly push the image of beauty as being stick thin, petite and delicate.
But look at these women!
They are all beautiful. They are strong. They have legs that can backsquat at least 175lbs. Their backs have felt the strain of a 200lbs deadlift. They know what failure feels like. They also know how to overcome it.
They know how to dig deep to find the strength to throw that 95lbs bar over their head one more time to get just one more rep out of their 15 minute time allowance.
Every rep counts. Every second counts.
These girls don't give up.
To me, they are much more beautiful then the women posing and smiling on fashion magazines.
