In this "How I did it..." episode, at 57, Brenda Richan had obesity, was pre-diabetic, and struggled with chronic knee and back pain from her 28-year nursing career. Then she got hit with a kidney cancer diagnosis that became her wake-up call. Instead of being defeated, Brenda got determined.
She walked into a CrossFit gym at 244 lbs using a cane & not knowing where to start. Five years later, the 62-year-old lost 90 pounds, got off her medications, and became a CrossFit coach herself - showing that age is just a number when you have the right mindset.
