Jason Wiese – 400 pounds to Wodapalooza and Inclusive Competitions

 
IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL HEAR ABOUT THINGS LIKE…

• There wasn’t the proverbial ah-ha moment for Jason, but the truth of it was that he just got tired of being tired. Most people don’t understand how exhausting being morbidly obese is.

• The weight loss journey started with YouTube videos. It then progressed to gaining the courage to join a gym, hire a personal trainer, and then he found CrossFit.
• The Fittest On Earth documentaries inspired Jason and his wife to make changes. Netflix!!

• There are 37 different divisions at Wadapalooza if you can believe that……but THIS year………………, they did something different. There’s a brand-new division just for beginners.

• Competition showed him that he could do more than he ever thought possible.

 

 

SOME QUESTIONS I ASK JASON…

1. What did your life look and feel like before your health transformation?

2. At what point into CrossFit did you start thinking about competition? When did it go from “just getting healthy” to…… hey, I really have a passion for becoming a better athlete?

3. What are three of your biggest takeaways from being able to compete?
