3 Cs: How Dr. Autumn Blackburn went from Cheerleader to Couch Potato to CrossFitter!
Autumn was a competitive high school and college cheerleader with terrible eating habits, like so many other young ladies out there. Her idea of being healthy was drinking Diet Coke and popping diet pills, no joke. After her cheerleading days came to an end, she gained about 40 pounds as she moved into 'adult life' (sound familiar?).
After undergrad, she decided to really take control of her health AND jump into action helping others by attending Palmer College of Chiropractic. While there, she learned a lot about eating *real food* and she finally understood *true health*...but she was still missing a piece of the puzzle...an intelligent exercise routine.
At the time, she walked 4-7 miles/day and although she lost some weight, she was also losing muscle, driving her poor body into the ground, depleting her energy, and feeling sick all the time. During that time (2011), she fractured her leg and badly injured her knee. In fact, she had an orthopedic doctor tell her that she would never be able to jump, run on uneven surfaces, squat, lunge, etc....so she babied her knee for years...UNTIL NOW!
Autumn's training at CrossFit Hermitage has taught her how to dial in the nutrition info she learned in college, drop body fat & change her body composition, safely build her strength, and made her knee FINALLY feel strong again! She has now checked Tough Mudder off her bucket list; hit a 250# back squat; and competed in a number of in-house and local CrossFit competitions.
In her own words: "I'm so glad I found a workout program I WANT to attend and I've stuck to for years now. I love the fact that as a chiropractor I can appreciate how CrossFit Hermitage improves people's functionality and helps everyone gain strength & prevent injuries. After my competitive cheerleading days ended, I had given up on ever being 'fit' again and I actually used to joke that I 'peaked' back in college. Now I can confidently say I'm on my way to being in the best shape of my life."
