About Polar Coastal

Polar Coastal is a blog by two different women who are polar opposites and live on opposite coasts (see what we did there?!). It’s a chance for us to express ourselves and what’s important to us outside of our families, though they might get a mention or two. From Beachbody and CrossFit to healthy eating and dating with kids, this blog offers real accounts from two women over 40 who are finally hitting their stride.

  • One-fiddy going up at 7am! There is nothing more exhilarating than hitting a lift you’ve been chasing. I haven’t tried to PR in what feels like years, but these days I’m feeling good so when the opportunity presents itself, I take it. Almost 5 years into CrossFit, these wins are fewer. But considering I couldn’t even squat below parallel with no barbell when I started, doing 150 feels pretty fucking epic. Check out my story for fails and 145. Thank you to my partner @tazrubakabir and to @joe_the_g.o.a.t for the tips and the shout! . . . #womenwholift #crossfitgirls #strongwomen #strongerthanyesterday #crossfitmasters #crossfitgirls #crossfitter #crossfit #fitspo #fitness #fitover40
