Meet A Bull: Lucila Pineira
Lucila Pineira aka Lucy or P.
I�ve been a member at Bullstrong since it opened on July 29, 2013
I was born and raised in El Paso, TX!
Currently in a relationship
I am a mommy of four kids whom are 10,7,3,1.
My typical day involves dreading hearing my alarm at 415am, then realizing it�s
the best way to start off your day at a 5am CrossFit class. After that it consist of
showering, getting my kids ready, feeding them, heading out to school/ work
which involves me being a TEACHER. After my work day it involves me going
back to CrossFit at 4/5pm to work on my goats (weakness in CrossFit skills).
After that, it involves picking up my four kids, making dinner together, talking
about our day, getting them ready for bed, then finally sitting down or laying down
in my bed.
Where do I even begin to describe my biggest accomplishment at Bull Strong. I
would have to say one of the biggest accomplishments I have had at the facility
was GAINING my dedication, motivation and determination in becoming a better
version of myself. I have always been over weight, low self esteem and even
more after having my kids I lost a lot of self confidence. Now that I�m fully back
after having my miracle baby, it�s been a reminder of how dedicated, determined
an motivated I am to be a better version of myself. Bull Strong coaches and
members have given me that confidence that I am capable of reaching goals that
I never saw myself accomplishing. My biggest weakness in life has always been
trying to exercise and having others tell me what to do, I�m the type of person
who had the mentality of MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY, but thankfully it�s
completely different now. Now I allow myself to hear others advice and allow
them to show me and tell me how to do things correctly. Bull Strong has definitely
been a life changer and I wouldn�t change facilities for anything.
Where do I even begin to mention my favorite WOD! I would honestly have to
admit that as much as we all hate every movement I honestly LOVE them all.
Reason being because the more we work at them the better we get at them.
Even though I might not have every movement down or lift a lot of weight, I�m
slowly getting up there and I�m slowly starting to truly enjoy this way of staying fit.
Definitely a unique and amazing way of getting your body moving.
Honestly my goal in CrossFit is to one day become a CrossFit Kids Coach. I truly
enjoy teaching kids. Teaching is honesty my true passion in life and to be
surrounded by kids, what a better way to accomplish more goals then by showing
kids different ways to stay fit and also learn new things. Kinesthetic learning is
the new way of learning. I would love to embrace this type of learning into
workouts to show kids that learning can also be completely adventurous and fun.
Ohhhh my alarm at 4:15am is the one who tells me to get up and workout daily.
That�s how it�s become a routine in my life. I started going 3 times a week then
5/6 times a week, it�s just part of my daily routine. Don�t get me wrongs, there�s
days I am dead tired and sleepy, but I still remind myself that the only person who
can change, is myself.
I don�t think I have an ultimate favorite experience/story in CrossFit because
honestly everyday is AMAZING! So if you ask me, to me everyday is my favorite
experience, everyday I learn something different about CrossFit but better yet
everyday I�ve learned something about myself and how to improve myself.
