Umdlali wobomi bonke, UDanielle Sidell Ukubandakanyeka kwiindawo ezininzi zokomelela ngaphambi kokuba afumane umnxeba kwibhokisi yeCrossFit. Emva kokukhuphisana kwilizwe elinqamlezileyo kunye nokulandela umkhondo kunye nentsimi iminyaka emine ekholejini, umhlali waseOhio oneminyaka engama-25 ubudala wajoyina uMkhosi weSizwe kwaye wagxila ekwakheni umzimba, ekhuphisana rhoqo kwizigaba "zomfanekiso" kunye "nomzimba" kwimiboniso yalapha. Kodwa xa umphathi wakhe wacebisa ukuba azame iklasi yeCrossFit naye, wahleka. Wayengazi ukuba iza kuvula indlela yendima yakhe ezayo kumdlalo ozakuba ngumdlalo omkhulu welizwe olandelayo: iNational Pro Grid League.

I-NPGL (eyayisakuba yiNational Pro Fitness League) ichazwe njengeCrossFit kodwa ngecala lemidlalo yababukeli: Imidlalo iya kusasazwa kumabonakude (eyokuqala iya kusasazwa kwi-intanethi), kwaye iya kubeka amaqela adibeneyo eembaleki ngokuchasene njengokuba babalekela ukugqiba iiseti zomsebenzi ezibandakanya imisebenzi enje ngokunyuka ngentambo, ukutsala, kunye nokuxhwilwa kwebarbell, ukubala nje ezimbalwa.

Njengoko uSidell elungiselela isizini yokuqala ye-NPGL ngo-Agasti, uxelele iShape.com malunga nendlela azibandakanye ngayo kwiligi kwasekuqaleni, kuthetha ukuthini ukuqina kuye, kwaye kutheni engakwazi ukulinda ukuduma.

Ubume: Ngaba iklasi yakho yokuqala ye-CrossFit yayinothando kwi-WOD yokuqala?

UDanielle Sidell (DS): Isuphavayiza yam emsebenzini yayingena kwi-CrossFit, kodwa ndacinga ukuba nabani na owenza ngaphezulu kwe-10 ukuya kwi-15 reps yayo nayiphi na imithambo wayenobuqili. Waqhubeka nokundikhathaza, nangona kunjalo, kwaye ndifuna kakhulu ukuba kwicala lakhe elilungileyo, ndaye ndahamba-ndasela i-KoolAid ngokupheleleyo. Ukuzilolonga kwam okokuqala kwakuyimizuzu esixhenxe ye-burpees, kwaye ndandixhomekeke. Ndiluphose ngokwenene useto lokhuphiswano kunye nenkxaso yeqela endandinayo njengembaleki yasekholejini, kwaye ngokwakha umzimba ndafumana kanye ngenyanga xa ndisiya kwimiboniso. NgeCrossFit, ndiyifumene yonke iklasi.

Ubume: I-CrossFit ikhokelele njani kwindawo kuluhlu lweNPGL?

I-DS: Kwikholeji bendiyimbaleki, kwaye bendihlala ndixhalabile ngokugcina ubunzima bam buphantsi. Ukusukela ngoko ndizuze iiponti ezingama-40-ngalo naluphi na usuku phakathi kwe-168 kunye ne-175 yeepawundi-kwaye ndomelele amaxesha ali-10, ndithembele ngakumbi, kwaye ndikwimo engcono ngoku kunokuba ndandinjalo ngoko. Nje ukuba ndiqale ukungenela kwaye ndiphumelele ukhuphiswano lweCrossFit, abaququzeleli beligi baya kum malunga nokujoyina elinye lamaqela abo okuvula. Ndiyathanda ukuba ukhuphiswano luya kulungelelaniswa. Indoda elingana ngokwenene yomelele kwaye ikhawuleza ngakumbi kunomntu obhinqileyo ofaneleke ngokwenene, ngoko ke uqeqesho nabafana luhlala lundityhala ukuba ndibengcono.

Ubume: Itshintshe njani irejimeni yoqeqesho lwakho lwemihla ngemihla?

I-DS: Kutshanje ndinikwe ithuba elimangalisayo lokuyeka umsebenzi wam osisigxina, ngenxa yenkxaso-mali ehlawulelweyo kwaye kungekudala imivuzo esiza kuyifumana nge-NPGL. Ngaphambi koko, ndandichitha iiyure ezingama-50 ukuya kwezingama-55 ngeveki emsebenzini wam, ndiqeqesha iiyure ezimbini ezinesiqingatha yonke imihla emva komsebenzi, emva koko ndileqa ekhaya ukuya kuhamba nezinja zam, ukuhlamba nokulala. Yayindikhathaza ngokwenene loo nto kuba ukuba ndandinokunyuswa kakubi, ndandingenalo ixesha lokubuyela ezingqondweni okanye ndizame ukwenza ngcono. Ngoku ndiqeqeshelwa ixesha elipheleleyo, ndingathabatha ixesha lam kwaye ndigxile ekusebenzeni kwam kunasewotshini.

Ubume: Yintoni eyona njongo yakho ye-NPGL?

I-DS: Ukuze imikhombe iphumelele yonke loo nto, ewe! Ngokuqinisekileyo yinjongo yelungu ngalinye leqela, kodwa sifuna ukuba le nto iqale kwaye ithelekiswe nawo nawuphi na omnye umdlalo weligi. Ndifuna ukuba kube mnandi kwaye kunike umdla njengebhola yangeCawa yasebusuku, kwaye ndifuna abantu bavuyiswe kukubukela i-NPGL kwiTV. Ndifuna abantwana abancinci bathenge iijezi zikaDanielle Sidell!

Ubume: Kwaye yintoni elandelayo kuwe buqu?

I-DS: Umyeni wam kunye nam sivula ibhokisi yethu ye-CrossFit, ngethemba kwinyanga ezayo okanye ezimbini. Ndiyakhuphisana nakukhuphiswano lwe-Olimpiki lokuphakamisa iintsimbi kulo Agasti uzayo, apho ndinethemba lokufumana umgangatho kwi-American Open Championship. Okwangoku, ndisebenza ekuphuculeni ubuthathaka bam, ndiqinisekisa ukuba ndizibeka phantsi kwaye ezandleni zam (zokuhamba ngesandla kunye ne-pushups) kwiseshoni yoqeqesho nganye. Ndiyakucaphukela ukwenza ezi zinto kuba andizenzi kakuhle, kodwa kubalulekile ukusebenzela kwizinto ongakwaziyo kuzo. Andifuni ukuba nobuthathaka-ndifuna ukuba yimbaleki iqela lam elixhomekeke kulo kwaye lithembele ekuphumeni kuyo nayiphi na imeko.

Nge-19 ka-Agasti, i-New York Rhinos ikhuphisana nolawulo lwaseLos Angeles eMadison Square Garden. Yiya ku-tikiti-master.com/nyrhinos kwaye ufake i- "GRID10" ukufikelela kwiitikiti zangaphambi kokuthengisa kwaye ufumane i- $ 10 kumaxabiso akumgangatho ophakathi.
