You Can Do It, Follow Kristen Graham For The Body You Hope To Have

May 8, 2022,

Eyes open or closed.

Awake or in dreamland, there is the body that we fantasize about having and the one that we hope to have, then we look in the mirror, if even for a few seconds, and often reality sinks in.

Like Reality TV, the mirror stops being polite and keeps it real.

You can’t change the channel.

Very real. Too real. Not polite. Very blunt. Doesn’t hold back. Reflects what it is really thinking.

Okay.

Enough.

Where is Kristen Graham when we need her?

Now that is the body that we hope to have, wish to have but may never have.

But can we come close?

She truly is an amazing woman. You should meet her and get inspired.

Ready to get in shape?

At the informative site strongfigure.com she shares, “My name is Kristen Graham and I am a Coach and Owner of CrossFit Toms River down at the New Jersey Shore! I am a graduate of Stockton University with a degree in business and work for the NJ Department of Banking and Insurance as a Financial Examiner.

I wear many hats but my heart lies in the heat of competition.”

When we meet people who are outstanding at what they do, they often wear many hats.

Kristen just looks better in hers.

She continues, “I have been involved in CrossFit for 3 years. Shortly after my daughter was born I realized I was having difficulty losing the post baby weight and joined a local CrossFit gym. My goal was strictly weight loss until I realized what CrossFit really had to offer. It opened my eyes to competition which I had missed since I stopped playing soccer. There is nothing like the heat of competition and the adrenaline rush you get at the call of 3-2-1 go. I look forward to that countdown everyday whether I am training alone, with a class or competing.

My daughter is 3 years old and there is nothing more magical than hearing her little voice yell “go mommy go” in the middle of a lift or workout! I want to inspire her and her generation to always dream big and work hard.”

Very good. We all need inspiration.

Okay, so she brightens up the Jersey Shore and propels her customers to greater physiques.

What is the Jersey Shore like? Beside the one we’ve seen on TV with Snooki.

The Jersey Shore is the coastal region of the New Jersey.

Geographically, the term encompasses about 141 miles of oceanfront bordering the Atlantic Ocean, from Perth Amboy in the north to Cape May Point in the south. The region includes Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May counties.

Many New Jersey residents refer to it simply as The Shore. Most of the shore region is located in Central and South Jersey.

Famous for its many boardwalks with arcades, amusement parks, and water parks boasting hundreds of rides and attractions, the Jersey Shore is a popular vacation spot with residents of North Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, which locals often refer to as Bennys.

Bennys? Okay. Sounds like a nice neighborhood restaurant.

Certain shore communities are also popular with visitors from the nearby states of Maryland and Virginia, as well as the Canadian province of Quebec.

Get this. Due to New Jersey's peninsular geography, both sunrise and sunset are visible over water from different points on the Jersey Shore.

There is a silver lining in almost everything.

Hurricane Sandy in 2012 devastated much of the northern part of the region, and spawned the demolition and rebuilding of entire neighborhoods, with reinvention on a physically and financially elevated and economically upscale level.

This process of gentrification is transforming many communities on the Jersey Shore into a second home for the New York financial community, akin to the more established Hamptons.

Upscale Jersey Shore. Snooki would be proud.

The global travelers at Lonely Planet see it transformed as well.

They express, “In Perhaps the most famous and revered feature of New Jersey is its sparkling shore – and heading 'down the shore' (local parlance – never 'to the beach') is an essential summer ritual. Stretching from Sandy Hook to Cape May, the coastline is dotted with resort towns both tacky and tony. It's mobbed on summer weekends (traffic is especially bad on the bridges to the barrier islands), and finding good-value accommodations is nearly as difficult as locating untattooed skin; campgrounds can be low-cost alternatives. By early fall, however, you could find yourself blissfully alone on the sand.”

A description with a sense of humor. We always love Lonely Planet.

Now we are fans of Kristen Graham as well.

Yes, we all have our dreams of what are body could look like (see Kristen Graham).

We have our fantasies of what we hope one day they will look like (see Kristen Graham).

We all have our fantasies of what some Session Girls should look like (see Kristen Graham).

Having said that, for now, since we have to live with what we actually look like, our suggestion?

Be careful about looking into the mirror.

Sometimes reality bites.
