At 66 years old, most peoples leisure activities would likely involve
strolls along the beach, reading a good novel at a coffee shop and, of
course, the occasional movie night. Not much so for Laurie Nelson. She has
worked at Pepperdine for the past 37 years as a professor of sports
medicine as well as an adviser for pre-med students. Today, she is
nationally ranked Crossfit athlete.
.
Crossfit is a national fitness organization that has gyms all over the
world. The concept of Crossfit is built on functional movements that give
several different kinds of fitness. It involves much more than just weight
lifting, Nelson explained. The workouts are constantly varied and train us
in each of several fitness domains.
.
She trains in Crossfit Malibu, which is owned by Michael Anderson, a
longtime friend and coach.
.
Michael Anderson was my student at Pepperdine, my colleague here on the
faculty teaching physical education classes for several years, and one of
my hiking partners, she said. When he introduced Crossfit to Malibu,
Nelson resisted going to the gym for an entire year before finally giving
in and trying out this new workout routine. I thought that I had too many
orthopedic problems with my right knee and my feet, and also that Olympic
Weightlifting would be too hard to learn at my age.
.
In the summer of 2010 she decided to try out the On-Ramp beginner program.
I was very pleased with the progress I made in just five weeks getting
stronger and feeling better. So I decided to join the regular classes she
added.
.
Nelson admits to not always having been a star athlete. High school and
college sports were not available for me when I was growing up, but I
still played many sports recreationally, she said. I did hiking and walks
but I stopped weight lifting and therefore became weak in my upper body
and core.
.
However, after adopting Crossfit, Nelson feels stronger than ever.
