SHARI CAMPBELL ATHLETE OF THE MONTH!
What is your fitness background? How long have you been Crossfitting?
I swam competitively when I was young and have enjoyed some type of active lifestyle since then. Crossfit has been a part of my routine for 2 ½ years.
What are some words to live by? 2 Timothy 1:7 is my favorite: Fear is not from God – but a spirit of Power, Love and Self Control is! Grab all of His gifts and use them every single day you are on this planet.
What is your occupation? I am a Litigation Claims Specialist for Penn National insurance.
Where are you from? Knoxville, TN
How did you hear about Crossfit HVille? A friend from the YMCA and church brought me to a foundations class when Lindsey was still downstairs in the closet of First Baptist’s gym.
What’s your favorite part of CrossFit? I love the variety, the intensity and the comradery of the work outs. Lindsey’s the best-ever trainer and her customers are the best-ever people!
How have you seen yourself change – mentally or physically – since being a part of CFH? Crossfit has energized my love for being healthy again. It motivates me every day to make better choices as it affects my body and makes me realize it’s so important to prioritize health so you can be at your best in everything else you do.
What is your favorite movement? Anything without bar bells.
What is your least favorite movement? Snatches…ugh
What has been your favorite WOD so far? I like the longer WOD’s – 20 minutes and on your own. It adds the endurance factor in to the workout that you must adjust to and I love the challenge.
What has been your least favorite WOD? My least favorites are the short, intense ones with only one move in it.
What are some of your goals that you have for yourself in the next year?
I realllly want to get to Level 2
. That rowing machine is going DOWN.
How do you see CrossFit as different from other programs? Crossfit is based on sound science and it makes so much sense I don’t see how anyone can ignore its principals. It’s flexible, never boring and encouraging (because you track your progress and can watch your journey along the way)!
How can other people relate to your story? As you get older, it takes a lot more effort to be healthy. Its painful, you’re tired and you feel you have earned some rest. Don’t fall in to that mindset, as that will take you in to a ‘slow fade’. Heck…you can rest when you are dead. Colossians 3:23-24 encourages us to work at anything we do with all your heart for the Lord; receiving your inheritance from Him…..when you’re dead! (okay I added that part)
What is something that others may not know about you? Do you think people realize how blunt I am about things? There aren’t many rocks I leave unturned about my life. I will just apologize for that – again. I am a passionate person and come on a little strong; a little moody.
Favorite sport or activity? I love to do anything outside; hiking, biking, jet skis.
Recent adventure you’re planning? I am creating a non-profit Teen Center for Sumner County where teenagers can hangout in a healthy, encouraging and safe environment. I want to provide a supportive community to help them transition in to a responsible member of society; learning to give back to their world. 1 Thess 4:11-12 teaches us to make it our ambition to lead a quiet life, mind our own business and work with our hands, so that our daily lives may win the respect of outsiders and so that we will not be dependent on anybody. I want to provide support for these kids who are desperately seeking their identity in areas the formal institutions cannot reach.
Leave the fine folks of CrossFit Hendersonville with some parting words… I love you guys. I am thank God every day for the opportunity to pay someone to hurt me like you do. Seriously, though – although being healthy and the journey is fun, remember that you cannot serve two gods. Put Him first, others second and then everything else will fall in to place according to His will. He loves you so much and gave you this fascinating body and mind to work for Him. I pray you will all use your gifts for His Glory.

CFH KIDS PRACTICE SQUATTING IN THE SUNSHINE!
Coach Greg Glassman, founder of CrossFit, discusses why we should squat! Here are 23 tips for his “Squat Clinic” article you can find in the CrossFit Journal.
1. Start with the feet about shoulder width apart and slightly toed out.
2. Keep your head up looking slightly above parallel.
3. Don’t look down at all; ground is in peripheral vision only.
4. Accentuate the normal arch of the lumbar curve and then pull the excessarch out with the abs.
5. Keep the midsection very tight.
6. Send your butt back and down.
7. Your knees track over the line of the foot.
8. Don’t let the knees roll inside the foot.
9. Keep as much pressure on the heels as possible.
10. Stay off of the balls of the feet.
11. Delay the knees forward travel as much as possible.
12. Lift your arms out and up as you descend.
13. Keep your torso elongated.
14. Send hands as far away from your butt as possible.
15. In profile, the ear does not move forward during the squat, it travels straight down.
16. Don’t let the squat just sink, but pull yourself down with the hip flexors.
17. Don’t let the lumbar curve surrender as you settle in to the bottom.
18. Stop when the fold of the hip is below the knee – break parallel with thethigh.
19. Squeeze glutes and hamstrings and rise without any leaning forward orshifting of balance.
20. Return on the exact same path as you descended.
21. Use every bit of musculature you can; there is no part of the body uninvolved.
22. On rising, without moving your feet exert pressure to the outside of your feet as though you were trying to separate the ground beneath you.
23. At the top of the stroke stand as tall as you possibly can.
