We spoke with Bruzzone about her fitness routine, CrossFit, and her motivation.
CrossFit to me is a program that challenges my weaknesses daily. There is and will always be something to learn and get better at. Aside from that, the community within the walls is like no other, it’s very easy to wake up for.
Rope climbs are my favorite exercise. Not that I’m good at it, but it is easy to track how high I can get, which really helps and it was outside of my previous experience.
