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.

  • When I tell people how much I pay for my #crossfit membership, the response is always the same, “oh I can’t afford that.” And yet, I guarantee those same people are spending that same amount on their cable bill. What that says is that they prioritize sitting on their couch over moving their body. They feel it’s more important to be sedentary than mobile. They value idling their time over their health. If this is you, it’s time to reassess what’s important. It’s time to put your health first. Yes, you can afford it. We find money for what’s important. End of story. So ask yourself, what’s important to you? . . . #fitness #fitspo #fitover40 #fitnessmotivation #crossfitgirls #crossfitwomen #womenwholift #strongwomen #strongerthanyesterday
