Jamie Brester - Crossfit Suncoast Member Spotlight

From the article:

Q: Describe your most memorable CrossFit Experience for us? 

Not sure there is JUST one. But being able to do a Kipling pull up unassisted for the first time was pretty amazing.  I also love being able to lift weights( in pounds and the movement) that i never imagined doing before.  A very rewarding feeling is doing a WOD, no matter how long it takes or how slow i go,but finishing it and being able to put RX. Some days ( well alot of days, RX isnt possible YET) but also being able to watch and help other members push through the WOD is very encouraging.

Q: Tell us about an area of your life most impacted by your decision to join CrossFit Suncoast? 

As a whole family we eat cleaner…. Ok i still indulge in my sweets, BUT in general we eat healthier and are instilling good eating habits along with excersing in our kids and family.

Q: When have you used CrossFit outside of the box? 

CrossFit has helped me be more confident in all areas of my life, my has definitely improved my running times without having to run 5 days week.

It’s not too early to start planning for retirement


Successful retirees understand the need for creating a realistic vision of their retirement and an action plan that will help them achieve that vision. When you visualize your retirement most of us have a clear view of how we want to spend our time, but where is the money for all of those plans going to come from?

As you start to visualize your retirement, consider: What makes you happy? How much money do you have? How do you want to spend your time? Who else is in your retirement picture? Once you have a clear vision of what you want your retirement to look like, consult a trusted financial advisor that can help you design a road map.
