“I really changed my life a lot…I was doing all the bad things…drinking, smoking cigarettes…I felt if I could do it, anyone could do it! You are never too old, too overweight…” 

-Hilary Topper, Author of From Couch Potato to Endurance Athlete: A Portrait of a Non-Athletic Triathlete.

After realizing she had to make a change in her unhealthy lifestyle, Hilary is here to discuss how she went about hiring a trainer, finding some accountability partners, joining some training groups, and embracing her new life. Hilary also dispels the myths surrounding the ability to be an “endurance athlete,” even if you have never competed in sports before. Now, she is using her experiences to inspire others that “anyone can do it” through her book, From Couch Potato to Endurance Athlete: A Portrait of a Non-Athletic Triathlete. Learn more about Hilary, grab the book, or read her very witty and inspiring blogs by heading to her Instagram page and Linktree @hilarytopper.

A Fit Crazie Recap: From KONA To CAROL - Episode 314

Episode 314 - A Fit Crazie Recap: From KONA To CAROL

It has been a few weeks since the Fit Crazies released a show, but it is not without a good reason. It’s time to grab a hat and hold the heck on to it, because today’s show will explore the power of relationships and the importance of showing up both for yourself and others during the highs and lows of life. Listen up as Christine shares her experience racing and guiding in Kona, Hawaii at the IRONMAN World Championships. Then, stick around to hear what was really going on behind the scenes as Christine prepared to execute this race. From the joy of representing the 1% Better Foundation and crossing that coveted finish line, to the sadness of catching a flight three hours later to New York to plan her mother’s funeral, this episode encapsulates the true essence of the human experience. We hope you not only find some great takeaways from this show, but also take a moment to realize that life is short. So live, love, laugh, and stay crazie! 

Stay Fit! Stay Crazie!
