Lauren Plumey in action |
Introduce yourself.
My name is Lauren Plumey. I am a 30-year-old affiliate owner and CrossFitter in Branford, CT, USA.
How long have you being doing crossfit?
I began doing CrossFit in April of 2008.
Have you been involved in some other sports before that?
No...I was never considered an athlete in any regard. I dreaded gym while I was in school. However, I had been working out since the age of 14 religiously.
How did people around you accept the fact that you are doing crossfit?
Did they take a jaundiced view of it? I know that my friends that do not CrossFit and my family secretly think that I am a fitness fanatic. In the beginning, my husband used to mock my constant banter of "the WOD." Slowly, I began to persuade most of my friends to do CrossFit, including my husband. He now owns the affiliate with me. For those that I haven't been able to bring over to CrossFit, they wouldn't dare to say anything negative because they see that CrossFit works. Its physical effects on my husband and I speak multitudes regarding the efficiency of CrossFit.
Do you have a nutrition plan that you follow?
If yes, do you meet disapproval from you friends?Or do they understand why you eat the way you do? I am a strict follower of the Paleo diet. Most of my friends follow this diet as well (as most of them are also CrossFitters). My Italian family thinks it is ridiculous that I NEVER plan to eat pasta again, but once again, my health (And their lack thereof) speaks for itself. However, I never try to impose the diet on those that are not interested.
What does crossfit mean to you and did it change your life in some way?
Oh my God..what a loaded question! Well, first off, CrossFit made me an athlete. I regret not finding it earlier in life. It has taught me tenacity, and turned me into a problem solver, which I never was. Prior to CrossFit, if things didn't come easy to me, I didn't attempt them. Now, I ENJOY working for things. CrossFit has also given me a healthy habit. Through college, I made a habit of going out and partying. Now, if I party too hard on Friday night, I can't perform the way I'd like to in the WOD on Saturday morning. It has increased my confidence in all avenues of life and allowed me to forge friendships with like-minded people.
What is your favorite WOD and which one do you hate the most?
My favorite WOD is "The Filthy Fifty" (I love chippers), my least favorite is "JT" and the thruster/burpee WOD from the '09 Northeast Regionals (5 135/95 lb Thrusters, 10 burpees, 12 minute AMRAP)
Is it hard for you to combine your daily tasks with workouts?
And have you ever used the excuse that you are too busy to workout? WORKOUT first WORK later! I've called out of work to workout! I have found that, like anything in life, if it is important enough to you, you will find a way to squeeze it into your schedule. So, yes, working two full-time jobs and training myself can get crazy, but I love it too much to make an excuse not to do it.
What is your biggest accomplishment in crossfit so far?
Qualifying for the CrossFit World Games two years in a row. Successfully running an affiliate.
Do you remember some funny story with you and crossfit?
There are certainly a lot, but none that I am sure would transfer as humorously into text.
Lauren Plumey and her husband David |
Don't be discouraged if it seems like you are the only one of your friends involved in this "insane fitness cult" Just as it did in the USA and Canada, it will spread like wildfire throughout the country in time. Be patient~you will not be a CrossFit rockstar immediately. But, like anything in life, the things that are worthwhile must be worked for. "What we obtain too cheaply, we esteem to lightly." True fitness is earned.
