CrossFit can change how a woman both defines beauty and feels about her body, as Rita Benavidez, Jackie Perez, Erin Cianciolo and Andrea Ager discuss in this video.
Once thinking beauty was a picture of a waify woman on a magazine, Benavidez feels differently now. "My perception of beauty has changed over the past few years," Benavidez says. "True beauty ... is strength and fitness, and confidence in yourself."
Perez was originally motivated by trying to be skinny. "That wasn't getting me anywhere," she says. "With CrossFit, I set goals. I want to deadlift 225, I'm going to hit that faster than I'm going to look in the mirror and like what I see."
Ager says putting in the work is key to getting what you want. "I think that hard work and the way that your body looks go so hand-in-hand," she says. "Once you do get a body that you want, you're very proud of it ... you're proud of what your body can do."
Through CrossFit, these women are confident, stronger and fitter. They are mothers, tomboys, coaches. They are CrossFit athletes.

I'm only 14 and been Cross-fitting seriously for 5 months. As a teen, CrossFit has completely changed my perspective on life. All young teens, especially girls should do CrossFit. It teaches you that the first person to finish and the last are equal in all aspects of respect and work load. It boosts confidence and gives you a new and better perspective on life you never had before. Girls need to stop worrying about bulk. I dead lift 245 and clean and jerk 125, and I promise I'm not bulky at all

I like that you're defending the video but dude, muscle isn't light. Best keep weight out of your argument because A LOT of strong women who strength train are easily 140+. It's not about weight, it's about strength.

if you're only a 14 yr old girl and you can deadlift 245 you should be competing.

So... Level B MMA fighters are reputable athletes who use crossfit for his/her training? No disrespect, if you don't like crossfit, that's your right. However, a person is made reputable by other people, journalism and media.

I will. Not one reputable athlete uses crossfit for his/her training except for some level B MMA fighters.

Hello, have you heard of "Musclegend" (search on Google)? There you will find a useful free video featuring the way to start building noticeable lean muscle very fast whilst dropping body fat as well. Kyle is one of the countless guys who had positive results because of this approach. Perhaps it will work for you also.

Hey there, have you come across "Belly Fat Quencher" yet? Just look on Google. On there you will discover a helpful free video presentation by a well respected doctor and certified nutritionist talking about the way to eliminate excess weight. It made it easier for John to reduce his stomach fat. Hopefully it will help you too.

Crossfit is "proven" not to do anything? Then how on earth are these women so fit and powerful? Please, enlighten us with actual scientific evidence!
