It can be easy to assume that you won’t be as active once you reach a certain age, but that’s not necessarily true.

Nancy Bodet is a CrossFit athlete and a mother of five, wife, nurse, and lawyer. She’s competed in Wodapalooza and the Granite Games. Listen in to what Nancy has to say about what she likes about competing, what her training sessions look like, and why functional fitness matters.
