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.

  • 5 years ago today I walked into CrossFit Bayside and changed my life. I had no idea that my journey would take me not only around the world, but to creating friendships that mean the world. Funnily enough, other than my marriage, #crossfit is my longest relationship. I’ve stuck with it and more importantly, I want to continue it every day. It’s shown me that I have more to learn, that I’m stronger than I ever thought possible and that I can find something that makes me happy and that I want to keep showing up for. Thank you to my second home @crossfitflushing for continuing to help me evolve. And to anyone out there who isn’t sure, just try. Just do. Just show up. You have no idea what magic could be in store. . . . #crossfitwomen #crossfitgirls #fitover40 #fitspo #fitness #strongwomen #womenwholift @morningchalkup @crossfit

  • Darkness and light. What would #andywarhol have thought of #selfies and cellphones? He probably would have appreciated the irony in us all being part of the art experience. Nothing more commercial or consumerism focused than putting yourself at the center of everything. #art #popart #what_i_saw_in_nyc #nyc #nycprimeshot #nycprime_ladies #ig_nyc #loves_nyc #just_newyork #pocket_usa #usaprimeshot #usaprime_ladies
  • Words to live by. Stop playing by the rules. There’s no prescription for life. Do what your heart tells you. Soar. Rise. Love. And rebel. Always. . . . #harrypotter #what_i_saw_in_nyc @nyhistory #posters #sayings #nyc_primeshot
