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.

  • Another day of 1RM. Hit 170 on my front squat which is a number I’ve not attempted in ages. Easy 155 prior. Bailed happily on 180 as I didn’t want to round my back and felt like I was stuck at the bottom. Always happy to smile when I know I’ve had enough. 📸@sorrysaree
  • I love split jerks. Because of my limited shoulder mobility, push jerks are tough. I can’t get under the bar like I can with a split. These felt great. 115 and 125. Still need to lock out more but happy with my depth. 📸@sorrysaree #crossfit #crossfitwomen #womenwholift #strongwomen #fitover40 #fitspo

  • Happy to PR my hang squat clean today. Fairly easy 145, then a very close almost at 155. Knees out, sit back on heels and it’s mine! Lol. Really good fail for me though as I almost corrected and didn’t push forward.
