- For the 9th item on my fitness bucket list.... 30 Days of crossfit. Thank you athletic greens for sponsoring this video athleticgreens....
Why?! Realizing it was time to refocus on my form, if I want to improve sports performance. For 30 days I worked my way to learning (or re-learning at times) all the foundational moves of crossfit & weightlifting. I documented my entire journey, documenting how my body changed, the before & after, but not a focus on the physical aspects, but my confidence in the gym and perfomance under the barbell. Many ups and downs, hope you enjoy my journey

About Me:
Hi I’m Keltie a former college basketball player turned CZcamsr.
Vlogging as I attempt different fitness challenges, ways to move your body, while I travel the world (little pause on that part hahah). Whether it's running a marathon, sweating it out in a heart bumping spin class, attempting a handstand, debunking a workout myth, swimming in the ocean, or stretching in the sun. New project involving your perfect workout playlist coming soon too :) Stay for BTS of that
My little passion project has been putting together some awesome workout playlists for you guys to enjoy! Follow them & me on spotify and I will keep updating them so you always have awesome music to workout to 🙂:

OMG Harry is a favorite!! Love to see influencers helping each other and not getting pissy and dismissive. Humble pie is a hard bite to swallow but I am thankful for this real take on returning to a branch of exercise. We aren't pros at everything all the time. Love you girl!
He's amazing!!!! Fitness should be all about community and helping each other out :) I truly appreciated he's willing to take the time to talk to me about some tips! Such a good way to put it, you can truly only focus on a few things at a time. LUV YOU MICHELLE 🧡🧡
I want a video where Keltie tries different recovery methods, massage, day of gentle stretching, etc. Can we all get behind giving our girl some TLC in the form of a video?
Ok I would love that 🥺🥺🥺🥺 appreciate this idea so much!!🧡
Oh yeah, that would be great!
Petition to bring this idea back if Keltie hasn't done this yet!!!
@@tiaraashlee4026 agreed I want to see this video
My husband was a competitive crossfitter. He was extremely strong and had amazing form. 300 lb Snatch and all! But now retiring, his body is now dealing with repercussions of having so many years of training and competing. What I have learned is that Crossfit cab be addictive (in a good way at times) but there is a fine line between that over doing it. My recommendation to anyone starting make it a 2x a week cadence for optimal recovery. Anywho, PROUD of you Keltie! (get it boo)
That is why I love Marcus Filly workouts. He takes advantages and lessons from being a Crossfiter.
Completely agree. Also I don’t understand why people who think weightlifting automatically think CrossFit… it’s actually a terribly impractical and idiotic way to weightlift and most CrossFit gyms are by no means even experts in it
@@damoab1909 I agree with you one hundred percent. You can read everywhere that meniscus tears are not far away. It's just kind of an ego thing. How far can I ruin myself?
I did something similar and today I'll keep my hands off it.
I prefer to train slowly and only enough so that I don't damage my joints
@@damoab1909, maybe you should go to a Crossfit box...
There are many elderly people who start doing Crossfit and greatly improve their quality of life.
No I would just never stop that's my plan anyways I know it's possible that age will eventually catch up but at 65 now I still feel there's so much for me to do I'm currently cutting my weight wanting a six pack
hi Keltie! I'm a crossfit athlete and a lot of times people don't understand what it actually takes to be able to perform your best in the sport. People would judge me for preferring sleep over nights out or bringing my own food instead of buying lunch somewhere, and often times people have this idea of crossfit being a cult of some sort that rules your whole life, so I wanted to thank you for trying and even though it didn't went how you thought it would, you didn't blame the sport, but rather the way you were living outside the workouts. That's one of the most important things people need to realise instead of blaming the sport right away. Thank you so much for this video and for showing that crossfit is not what people think it is ❣️
i love that you took his criticism well! most ppl would be “butt-hurt”
this made me like you even more >:)
badass!
I’ve done Crossfit for about 2 years now. I started during the Covid shutdown and it became such a stress reliever and a great outlet for me to go to. I fell in love with the movements, but especially the community it brings you. Crossfit is not an alone activity, you need people around you to motivate you, and to also not feel alone as everyone else is exhausted and pouring sweat too. I love Crossfit and I loved this video. I hope you continue to improve in this great sport.
“It’s not an alone activity” something that could be said for any class based workout … it’s nothing special
I recently started CrossFit and love it! I think the moment I fell in love with my box was when I showed up to class and saw that not only was it 50% women, but most of those women were older. Several of them have grandchildren! They're such an inspiration to me to keep pushing myself and stay active. It's not a form of exercise for everyone, but if you like it, it's a great all around workout.
I recently found Harry’s channel and I was ready to Keltie-stan in the comments of that video, but tbf he gave fair comments, very positive still, and he kind of picked up on your apt without knowing you well. Both you and Harry are all about the positive encouragements and mental health- you’d be a hell of a combo video, I’m a big fan of you both! Glad you’ve been looking after yourself after your busy period!
I've been a CrossFitter for 5 years. I cannot tell you how refreshing it is to see a positive CF CZcams review video. I'm so exhausted by the fitness creators I follow trying CF for one day and giving their opinion. It's too complex to review in one day.
Our gym was of the many that unaffiliated after Greg Glassman's (CEO at the time) awful comments. The only thing that changed is the name of our gym. We no longer pay the annual fee to use the CrossFit name. Everything else has remained the same.
I'm so thankful your video includes things like: the time it takes to learn new movements, introductory courses, proper nutrition and recovery. These are all so important for the average everyday fitness enthusiast. It's not just for the top 0.001% that makes it to the CrossFit Games.
We've had a lot of promising people come through our doors but quit so soon because we don't throw them into group classes. Because they've worked out before they are discouraged that they can't come in and smoke everyone in the workouts. The ego of it gets to most people. You have to be okay with being a beginner again.
We have members ranging from ages 14 - 60's. The workout is what you make it. We have people who are huge on CrossFit and work intensely so they can compete at local competition, people who come in to supplement their passion of running and those who come in just to get a good sweat in. The classes are as intense as YOU want to make them. I love it because I don't want to go to a 24 hour gym and come up with my own schedule. I want to show up and be told what to do and how to fix my form, intensity, etc. I've always said "Everyone can do CrossFit. But CrossFit isn't for everyone." (and that's totally okay).
Ever since I found out about Tia-Clair Toomey I have been in awe of people who do crossfit religiously. Those people are super human! Her diet and workout routine is insane, but I love her as a person too! 💪 Hope you are doing well Keltie ❤
PS - Keltie you are awesome. The work you are doing on CZcams is really inspiring. Don't let one person's video get you down.
She is absolutely INCREDIBLE!! One of those people your jaw just drops when you see what she does. So happy female athletes like her are getting more and ore of a spot light!!!
Yesss Tia Clair is a great intro to CrossFit, she’s an incredible person and athlete. 💜 the stuff she can do is amazing
Might be some pharmaceutical assistance.
Ever since I saw that video I wondered if you'd seen it, it's so amazing to see someone actually take criticism, reach out for help, and improve on themselves rather than raging or rebutting from a place of hurt and ego. I shouldn't have expected anything less from you Keltie! This is exactly what the fitness community, online and in real life should be, let's build each other up, let's learn and progress together 💪
I’m actually loving seeing how hard it was for you to workout and eat well consistently while traveling so much. I’m a flight attendant so I’m literally always flying and on a different time zone and never sleep at the same time and have to eat airport food a ton and I can be very hard on myself to be consistent with my health and training so it’s kind of nice to see someone like you struggle as well. Love you! 🥰
Honestly I would love to see a video about how you were able to travel and workout. Every time I travel or do anything that deviates from my routine I can’t bring myself to exercise. Also props to you to taking Harry’s advice seriously. Not many could do that.
I wasn't sure how Harry's video was going to be taken by you, but his tips just from his videos have helped me so much in my getting back into the gym this year (hadn't lifted in 4 years).
Trainer here: So awesome that the gym emphasized form first, and watching the before/after there was so many micro changes that are going to protect the joints and such in the long run, so happy you stuck through it! Congrats!
Barbell squats are so hard! I love that you took such a positive approach to Harry's comments! And this video has really helped me cue into some of my form issues as well! Passing on the peace!
Life is truly a process of realizing our mistakes and how we can improve on them :) Excited you can start working on your own! We will be on this journey together!
Hats off to you. Crossfit is so challenging and recovery is so key. When I did Crossfit I was easily the strongest I've been in my life. I've been having a hard time committing to a new studio. I really miss the passion I felt for it. Literally would daydream about it when I wasn't there.
Ok that comment abt 1:50 pissed me off. My crossfit gym did NOT make me do mandatory preliminary classes. (That other nake u pay EXTRAORDINARily EXTRA FOR) instead they gave me extra attention every class. I've been going for over 2 weeks now and they STILl give me that extra attention from the owner, trainer AND members who all collaboratively help me with my technique and reaching my ful potential. If I had seen this video first I would've struck them down and missed out on a legitimately life changing experience this gym has offered me
Ugh I forgot write in the video this is "FITNESS BUCKETLIST #9" OOPS
CrossFit has been on my bucket list too!!! Having a baby next week sooooooooo…one day. Til then I really appreciate watching you and seeing you feel like your starting over a bit cause it’s so relatable for me!!
I absolutely love how you and Harry came together on this! Absolutely an amazing example of team work, taking constructive criticism as a way to improve, and just growth in general!
What is his channel name pls?;)
Yes! Thank you for letting the people know that MOST CrossFit gyms do an introductory “course” before allowing new members to just jump right in! Many people don’t realize that and it gets such a bad rep because of that!
Happy to spread that! Its SUCH a good thing the gyms that do, I can see how people get frustrated they an't just start right away. Hopefully this helps spread the idea that that's actually a good thing if your gym does that!
I've always been interested to see what Crossfit was all about so I'm so excited to be watching this video! But watching it I realise if I ever want to try it I should pick a time in my life where things aren't extremely hectic and I can handle the intense nature of crossfit without overwhelming my body or my mind. Thanks for taking us on your journey Keltie! 😘
@Bolu, i love Keltie but I think this video is giving an extreme view of CrossFit. I have been doing CF for 4.5 years. You really don’t need to wait until life is less hectic. Doing CrossFit every day of the week is insane (and not suggested unless you are training to compete in the CF Games!). If you aim to do 4-5 days per week and scale your workout to how your body is feeling that day, you can absolutely include it in your current life. Yes, if you’re challenging yourself, you will be a little sore most days but it’s so worth it for the physical development and community that you get to experience. I highly recommend going for it now!
Do not settle for a bad crossfit gym. Take your time to find a good one. The lower tier ones are just a ticket to injury. The head honcho of a crossfit gym should have additional qualifications more than just the crossfit certification and there should be one-on-one teaching before you start group sessions.
It really depends on the gym. A good gym will encourage scaling and ease you into CrossFit. They will make sure you can do the movements safely and sustainably. I started CrossFit with bad knees and a messed up shoulder and back and my gym let me just come on upper body days at the start while I worked with my PT for my knees. When I began, I had to scale everything, but as I progressed could do more and more things. My gym focuses on the long road. Pushing you out of your comfort zone, but not past the point of injury or over-training. As she said, CrossFit is a brand and every gym has a different culture and quality, but I love CrossFit so much, so I hope you give it a try!
Keltie... I love you so much but as a subscriber who cares about you, I feel that I need to hold you ACCOUNTABLE for the lesson we've already watched you go through: BURNOUT!!! Think back to the time when you overloaded yourself with work doing multiple challenges with no end and where that lead you. Think about quarantine and the lessons you learned regarding keeping your mind happy and taking the time to breathe when you need it. I hate to break it to you but this isn't a "fitness" channel, it's a WELLNESS channel!!! People nowadays love watching others live their fullest, best lives, and watching a happy, bubbly, bouncing Keltie that is bursting at the seams with self-love and care is CERTAINLY not exempt from that. I loved this video but I needed to seize this opportunity to remind you of different goals you might have let slip by the wayside but you are still accountable to yourself for, I hope you see this.
So proud of your awareness & self reflection….way to realize that commitments to yourself mean so much. When in doubt next time, do a video on your planner/calendar & we’ll point out sleep/water/massage/food are missing. Great job!!
You show so much character by taking his critisism and turning it into something great, love seeing you guys helping eachother! His video's (and yours just now) really inspire me to focus more on technique!
I have felt inspired by several of your videos but this is my favorite. A lot of the time I think people in the fitness world make it look so easy and that I could never do what they do. My life is busy. I am limited by my mobility. I definitely get too tired and don’t want to work out. I’m really glad you made this one. It hit for me personally and really boosted my confidence. Congrats on the progress as well!
Great video, Keltie! I’m really looking forward to working together more in the future :)
I just started Crossfit as well, and I've been doing it for a little over a month. I worked privately with a trainer with the movements and I've been doing some classes for a little bit and I enjoy it! I'm grateful that the "box" I go to has helped me perfect the movements so I don't get injured!
You did awesome and I love your videos! I love the Crossfit community because they're all super encouraging and help when times get tough in the workout! Love your videos, keep it up Keltie!
One thing all games athletes keep telling us is that recovery is their whole life. They schedule their life *around* recovery. Many of them use the whoop straps to monitor their day strain+recovery quality, use special mattresses, blankets, ice tubs, saunas, etc. Your recovery is almost more important than your training because if you don't make it a priority you can't train effectively! People really always underestimate that.
It's been hard to stay motivated because I can't really run outside anymore. The sun isn't up until right before I go to work, and it's going down by the time I get off work. It's so difficult to focus on the treadmill or lift at the tiny gym that the tribe offers and the one ran by the city closes at 4:30. The closest larger gym is 45 minutes away. Running was kinda all I had.
I watch Harry too and love that he's always very respectful and objective in his critiques.
That's so cool of you to take the criticism and growing from it rather than reacting negatively. Harry's a really good egg though and I'm so glad you both communicated. Good video!
Thank you Christina :) Constructive cristism is always appreciated as it truly is an opportunity to grow from it
Thank you for the video. Super interesting insights.
Regarding your air travels and the associated inconveniences: I can highly recommend to focus on one specific airline and join their frequent flyer program. You quickly will be able to discount or upgrade travelling in business class. Or simply book business class, at least in the beginning ;-) Aboard, enjoy the flat bed for proper sleep, or involve the flat bed into your sleeping schedule. Have decent meal options, or even have individual meals (whatever and whenever you want/need it, just pre-order it and they will service you). In this wise you easily exchange squandered time into a chain link, into livability.
your great attitude is why people love you. says a lot about your character. ❤️💯💪
Very timely video, and I can relate. With aging it becomes so readily apparent, that we really need to focus on all the things that affect our performance in athletic endeavors outside of the gym. I have been so discouraged lately that I just don't bounce back like I used to, only to realize that I need to pay attention to all of the habits that are mentioned in this video. New Year's resolution season is right around the corner, it makes a whole lot of sense to start working on these habits away from the gym, so you can be prepared for any athletic resolution you may have for the new year, in order to avoid hitting the wall by mid-January. Well Done!
I did CrossFit for 9 months and I hated it every day. I only stopped because the gym closed for COVID and I felt like I had an out. I felt like something was wrong with me because people raved about it and I just hated it.
CrossFit is awful long-term. I’ve never known anyone over the age of 25 who has been able to keep up with the routine without injuring their body & then having some major recovery process. The same friends who raved about it 3 years ago have all quit going to the gym entirely. I think our bodies tell us when enough is enough sometimes. Slow(er) and steady is better for your central nervous system too.
I think its great that you had to do the introductory class. Olympic lifts are so technical and can be dangerous if you aren't taught them properly! Your form looks great at the end! Just that in and of itself is amazing!
This video is tough watch. In fact I couldn't finish it. The whole video is keltie complaining about how out of control her life is. I learned fuck all about crossfit.
CrossFitter here to fill you in on the drama, Greg’s been around for ages but we didn’t like him much he was a bit nuts, didn’t like the games and was mega focused on getting annoyed at soda companies. Then there was the accusations of the really bad sexist stuff and the racist comment. The entire CrossFit community basically dropped him, started dropping the name, athletes dropped out of the games etc. He owned the whole company so he couldn’t just step down, but then he saw sense and sold it to Eric Roza the new CEO who is awesome!! He’s made lots of great changes and basically everyone is affiliated under CrossFit again. 🙌🏻☀️
Loved the honesty in this video! I would've struggled with someone calling me out like that but you took it in stride and addressed it. Also, as a crossfitter the old CEO was thankfully removed and a new Crossfit CEO was appointed last year. The new CEO is amazing and has done a ton to help right all the wrongs the old Crossfit CEO did.
Keltie, you are amazing for being so open and honest and really listening to what your body needed! This really indpired me with this video!
So happy it was inspiring to you!!! 🧡🧡🧡
Aw! I love your channel and I love Harry's channel. I'm glad y'all were able to work together and there wasn't animosity!
Your front squat looks great! Can you pleeeeease do it for 2 months post-intro courses? I’d love a true CrossFit review from you!
Not me learning my own lessons about pushing myself too hard. Thanks Keltie, you’re a legend!!!!
I saw that video and wondered if anyone showed it to you. Im glad you took it and corrected your form.
Won't lie it crushed me when I first saw it. But all you can do is take the lessons life gives you and see how they can make you and everyone around us better!
I’m so happy I found your channel. Super motivational in an externally healthy and non toxic way!
I've been doing CrossFit for 2 years five days a week and I'm in the best shape of my life! Lost over 40 pounds, nutrition and sleep on point! CrossFit saved my a**! Love your video! Keep it up💪🔥❤️
ABSOLUTELY LOVE HEARING THAT!!!!!!! SO happy you found crossfit 🧡🧡🧡 Keep it up!
@@KeltieOConnor I'm actually competing starting in June 2022! It became a real passion!
Yay a Crossfit video!😍 I've been doing crossfit for 1 year and 9 months now and I still love it! I love the community and getting stronger. I even joined The Nationals competition in my country!
But when I first started my muscles were so sore it wasn't funny😂
We do have courses if you don't have crossfit experience but that's just a few classes and they're not mandatory like at your box🤔
I loved your video, keep it up!❤️
I especially love all that you said in the last 5 min of the video! You are so genuine and honest!💗
THANK YOU for listening all the way trough 🧡🧡🧡 That means so much to me!
You’re so right, recovery is super important. Rest days are really important in CrossFit so that you can actually make gains. I train 5 days a week and I find that best, I compete in the sport. I’d definitely encourage you to scale it back a bit and just enjoy it if you can. There’s a lot to learn and you have to enjoy the process. Well don’t for giving it a bash ❤️
SO CRUCIAL! Scaling back the travel and spending more time on recovery has improved everything so much 🧡 Its so fun, goal is to go 1-2 times a week with my friend Joe now as I use it to supplement strength & improve power/explosiveness for some other challenges :)
@@KeltieOConnor that’s awesome! Sounds like a fantastic way of fitting it in. I’d love to see more of that 🙌🏻
love ur honesty !
Just hope u don't feel pressured to continue with challenges that aren't enjoyable or good for u/too much... because u r more important than a vid and we all sometimes start a challenge that we are not equipt to handle or don't enjoy as much as we thought we would
You should do the open!! It’s so much fun, there’s tons of scaling options and it’s a great way to challenge yourself.
As a person who has been doing crossfit since 2017 and also Olympic Weightlifting I want all the ladies to know how important it is to strength train! It helps your bones become stronger since as we age our estrogen decreases and are chance of developing osteoporosis goes up!! I also should say, you won’t learn how to properly do these movements overnight, it takes time, effort and a will to want it. I have a lot of CrossFit videos on my channel, and I love it and I hope to compete in a Oly competition this next year!! ❤️
Do you do strength training at CrossFit or outside of CrossFit? I’m not familiar with the workouts!
@@sydneywerner7554 so you technically “strength train” every day in the workouts. In crossfit you’re not going for aesthetics (how you look) but rather what you can do. All the movements are technically strength training but not in a “bodybuilding” way. Olympic Weightlifting is a whole different ball game too, it’s more technical than anything and requires a lot of work and dedication! Hope this helps! I do have some videos on my channel of me working out if you want to see what it looks like doing crossfit or weightlifting if you’re interested, if not it’s ok too!!
I am a big fan of CrossFit but with that aside, I really enjoyed this video. People forget that CZcamsrs have a life and doing these challenges can take a lot out of a person. You have always been super committed to your videos but it is also good to be reminded that you are in fact human! Lol I’m sure a lot of us can relate to trying to figure out why we lack motivation for things we used to love. I know I’m struggling with that right now. Anyway, really appreciated this video! Really good information and of course loved the honesty ♥️
I love your honesty in your videos! It helps remind me that even people that I view as fitness inspiration have hard days.
So happy it resonated with you Sara 🧡🧡🧡🧡 Even professional athletes have bad days, weeks, months, and even years.
Girl you are looking SO strong! I think its important to realize that although fitness is important it isn't EVERYTHING and we need to listen to our bodies and focus on what is important to us in every season of life
This is such a wonderful response to constructive criticism (I assume it was constructive since you reached out to him for guidance)! I react so poorly to almost any kind of criticism (something I am trying to improve) and this is inspiring me to keep working on that.
It's actually really refreshing to see you stayed humble and didn't get passive aggressive after Harry's video. Subbing to you as a result :)
I love that adequate sleep and taking care of yourself as a whole became a big focus of this video ❤️ keep it up Keltie!! Love your content 😊
really sorry to mention but I would recommend working on your erg form. The current form you have might cause lower back injures.
Oof, thank you for the reminder that recovery is 🌟key🌟 Today is my first day of a new workout program and I definitely appreciate the reminder 😄🥰 my dad always says that "rest is the best medicine," and, boy, is he right.
Good luck on your new program!!!!! Your dad knows best! Better to go slower at the start with lots of recovery so you can keep going over time vs. balls to the walls break yourself and having to quit in 2 weeks. Keep me posted how your new workout program goes :) 🧡🧡🧡🧡 You're crushing 2022 before it even begins!
Thank you for always being so visible with your journey. You are a huge inspiration to me! You make me feel like I can accomplish my goals in life as well.
Thank you so much Ashley 🧡🧡 You can accomplish anything you put your mind to I KNOW IT! Glad we can be on our own separate journeys but at the same time together!
Keltie!!!!!!!!! I can't believe how so often your experience mirrors my own in some way, it's really weird. I told you a number of weeks ago I had made a true plan and was sticking to it...... follow 3 days later I incurred a reoccurring injury to my lower back that makes even walking a struggle. I often can recover in around 5 days if I take mindful rest for 3 days and then just focus on mild stretching for couple of days, buuuuuuuutttttt.......... I took the second job as a bar tender and mu injury happened 2 hours before a shift, I went to that shift and literally screamed my way through it and the next day and then back to my day job. It took literally weeks for me to fully recover and that happened yesterday, I haven't worked out or stretched or barely slept in that time though pain. Wednesday I quit my second job, it had evolved from and Saturday to covering Fridays, Sundays, Thursday, did I need the money, kinda yeah but my health and body was literally failing me and I could not get a balance, I has a couple of hours a day to get shit done, house work, eating, loving on my dog, relaxing, working out. All because I had set no boundaries. I've taken my time back this week and tomorrow the plan starts a new. I have a goal and its set in stone. To feel comfortable in a bikini for my holiday to Greece in June. I could literally see the tension in your shoulders at points in this video when you were talking to camera. I did see the video that pushed you to relearn movements and I did feel it was a little harsh as he had not taken the time to know your journey with mobility etc but I am pleased it motivated you rather than hurt you. You are my absolute inspiration everyday and although we are so different in our make ups and I'm 41 years young you are a fitness role model we can all aspire to be. You learn from your body and your misjudgements of what is possible. We are all fallible, we never get it right all the time and sharing that and showing your work as it were so as to help others is a true gift to us. We love and appreciate your total truth and trust in us to get you. You're the best Keltie ❤
My heart just hurst knowing you were going through all that bartending! Especially such a social & physical job most people don't realize. So happy you were able to quite and hopefully get more hours to yourself back! Health you can never buy back so its so important you put it number one! Focus on that for awhile and you will find some way to bring more money into your life I know it!!
I appreciate you all that watch the video and knew my journey & mobility issues rather than thinking Keltie was promoting this for, saw some of you speak out about it and truly means a lot to me. Thank you for always supporting me!
@@KeltieOConnor we always have your back. Bartending is a physical job, people don't realise, I was bending fir glasses and screaming to stand back up, did I girl like a fucking warrior getting through it.... yes, should I have.... absolutely not. The money isn't the end of the world, I'm grateful to have another full time job but it was very helpful, I went from just managing to being comfortable the cash wouldn't run out by the end of the month but thats totally manageable and like I said I'm in a far better place than many. Taking my time back and enjoying my life and movement is more important.
I'm grateful for you, your encouragement and your grace in not quite reaching your expectations. Its no fail, you showed as ever ultimate determination and true boss energy. ❤ as ever
This resonated with me pretty hecticly. I'm not a crossfitter but I do a lot of mixed training including boxing, weight training, HIIT, cycling and running and being a critical care flight medic in the middle east with lots of dragging people off of sand dunes my body is usually operating at a pretty high level of exertion with very little sleep as I do 14hr shifts and wake up 2am for work. Its hard to tell the difference btwn not wanting to and not being able to train and being able to identify reasons for demotivation....and mostly its a lack of adequate recovery and sleep. Its so easy to get to that point where you're doing worse for your body when you train and so easy to get to that stage of feeling like your body is failing you without even seeing you're on that path. Thanks for this video.....a bit of a wake up call❤
Wow, I actually had his video come up recommended but never watched. Good on you for taking the feedback and making a positive out of it!!
I loved your honesty in this video! It totally clicked when you said “do you not like it or are you not setting yourself up for success?”
Also, with your new running challenge was wondering if you could pass along your fave sports bras for running? I just got my tatas done so I’m looking for some supportive ones to keep the gals in place (and not waste 10k dollars worth of surgery lololol)
I have zero interest in trying CrossFit. However, I was riveted by all the CrossFit competition movies on Netflix. Those girls are strong!!!
I’d love to see a video about knowing when to stop, and knowing when “dedication to fitness” is actually creeping into the “ignoring actual human needs and overall wellness” territory.
I loved this video. I appreciate your raw honesty.
One idea - I’d love to see you do a series on recovery and mobility!
Seriously? You decided to do crossfit and then you keep complaining for a whole video. Nobody forced you at gunpoint to do it, stick with it and do it or give up. Stop making excuses
"boohoo" I was traveling here and there and this place and that place.
I am so impressed by you! I don't see a whole lot of fitness CZcamsrs take constructive criticism that way! Good on ya, don't ever change that sparkling personally of yours girl! Thanks for the content ! ❤
I'm kind of surprised nobody brought this up, but why are you traveling so much? Let alone doing so during the pandemic?
Plus how did she not get sick? Traveling for work sucks in general, now crank it up and add Covid and it’s a nightmare. Slow down girl!
Hey keltie what shoes are those you’re wearing? The white ones your lifting in on the day when you wore black shorts? they’re super cute:)
you seriously post the greatest videos. i love your content and have enjoyed seeing the few videos that are not just fitness minded. it has been wonderful seeing your channel evolve!
Thank you so much Avery! I'm really enjoying how my content is evolving too! Thank you for being on the journey with me 🧡
Keltieeee!! Is my brain broken or did you cycle backwards on the assault bike?! 😅 As a long time fan of both Keltie and CrossFit I was WAITING for this!! Love Love Love 💕
I watched his video because I love his channel. What an excellent and classy response, I would expect nothing less from you, Keltie! ❤️
Ps. CrossFit is how I gained confidence weightlifting. The coach I had was huge on strength and fundamentals, what an awesome way to get comfortable under a barbell!
Thank you Melody :)
I absolutely loved you found confidence through crossfigt & weightlifting! SO HAPPY you had such an amazing coach when you started too! 🧡
I live in Santa Cruz where it was started! That’s so cool I had no idea :)
I feel the same about Crossfit as I do spin classes. Would I have fun doing them maybe but the cultish following of both turns me off from trying them.
This i one of my favorite challenge video you've ever done, bc of realness and honesty
Keltie is posting after the longest day at work.. appreciate it!! ❤️
Glad I can be there for you after a long hard day. Go get yourself some water Zsofia 🧡🧡🧡 I
I got athletic greens a while back and struggle with the taste. I will try the little bit of milk idea. Would love to hear if you have any other tips for drinking athletic greens. I like how they make me feel but it is like pulling teeth to drink them.
Maybe blend it with a banana and a little bit of honey or dates? Banana tends to dominate taste wise so it might help a bit.
@@therese4089 I tried whole milk and chocolate instant breakfast powder with the athletic greens. Surprisingly much more palatable. Side note, don’t use cold whole milk with vital proteins collagen peptides, jelly lumpy gross.
2 words for this video MATURITY and GROWTH!!! Proud of you Keltie
I‘m doing crossfit since 2018, but have not been so motivated the last couple months. Mainly because I feel like the quality of the classes is dropping and our coach isn‘t correcting our form how he used to be. So thanks Keltie for the reminder, that sometimes you need to listen to your gut feeling. I‘m thinking about cancelling at least for 6 months now, so maybe now is the right time to quit crossfit and find something new.
Why quit instead of finding a better CrossFit gym with better programming and coaches who focus on form?
@@rsfarris86 unfortunately there is only one crossfit / functional fitness gym in my city 🤷🏼♀️
@@lilaliveslife4846 dang, sorry…I hate to hear that. I’ve had such a positive experience since starting CrossFit, wish it was the same for everyone!
@@rsfarris86 at the beginning it was much better than at the moment and I love crossfit just for the feeling after the workout and how strong I feel. Maybe I find something similar somewhere else 😉
@@lilaliveslife4846 well, good luck!
Happy Friday Keltie, time for squats and shots - sounds like a good CrossFit 😁😁🧡🧡🧡
BEST KINDA OF FRIDAY!!! Hope you have an amazing one Gabby🧡🧡
I needed to hear this today. I definitely feel rundown. Not sure it’s from my workout but life and work and lack of sleep
What an AMAZING message you give in this video, such an awesome experience to watch you go through that training program 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Why so much travel? I'm confused
I do CrossFit. whenever I eat a bunch of crap or drink more than one drink the night before a CrossFit class, the class is sooooo much harder. Harder than any other workout that I have done. That’s just my body.
Oh I FELT THAT after whistler *cue puke emoji*
Here for you because you have demonstrated the principles of AHIMSA before now & you Will going forward. Clickbait be dammed. “Simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies [and limiters?],
you accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.”
-Lao Tzu
LOVE your fitness challenges and it is so refreshing to see the hard parts in these and the real consequences to go go go! Thanks so much for sharing 😋 also - what shoes are the white Adidas?! soo cute
As a CrossFit lover and a former coach, I would like to keep the door open to those gyms that don't do foundations classes like she's describing. There's a lot of gyms that are smaller and you get one on one coaching regardless so the foundations can be carried out during class time. Now if a coach is pushing you to do more than your comfortable with, stand up for yourself and maybe don't go to that coach anymore. But pushing you is part of their job! They're just not good at the other part which is knowing people's limits lol but CrossFit IS GREAT especially when you find the right gym!
QUESTION- when you talk about getting on an eating schedule, as you still practicing intermittent fasting, like you have in previous videos? Thanks so much for this video- it was just the reminder I needed as I get back into racing after taking off so much time in the past 18 months. It truly is a journey and I/we have to think long term and incorporate proper recovery. Can’t wait to hear more about your running journey!
No I don’t do IF in the traditional sense. I’ve always just not eaten for first few hours, so do “fast” in the morning. But have no set fasting schedule m (like 16:8 etc). What I mean more so is normally digestion is better fkr most people when you eat at the same time everyday (ex: 8am breakfast, 1pm lunch,7pm dinner, around those time everyday). When you travel overseas it throws off your hunger & digestion a ton, because when you were eating breakfast now was 11pm before. So you have to work on realigning your circadian rhythm. So your internal clock matches the time zone you are in ☺️
Omg I admired you so much now! Is amazing to see the way that you took the video from Harry and turned into a better version of yourself. Specially that you got recommendation from him I thi k is amazing!! 💜💜❤💪💪 what a girl are you!! 💪🤸♀️💜
Thank you so much Victoria!! 🧡 Always appreciate some constitutive criticism on how I Can get better and make better videos for you all!! Felt very special that Harry was willing to give me some tips as well :) 🧡 Some more videos around this coming soon!
Wow you know Harry!!! Great guy.
Ok I need more info on the athletic greens I have been seeing these EVERYWHERE!!!
Thank you for trying this challenge but wow with that travel schedule, it’s amazing that you got through it. Hope you enjoyed Ottawa. :)
Csn't wait to see what you do next! I am so lost in my fitness journey right now, I don't find lifting weights enjoyable anymore and I have almost exhausted at home workouts because pandemic lol
Not going to lie your recover looks a lot more fun than the usual 😆
Also I am upset that your coach did not fix your snatch hand position at 6:00 minute point like why….
Can you please not complain about traveling when some of us would kill to be able to travel 😭😭😭
