This Crossfit Athlete Was Born Without Limbs

This Crossfit athlete was born without limbs and can deadlift over 100 pounds. Lindsay Hilton has played sports her entire life, and says that her abilities were never limited. “I can remember being in phys ed class at a really young age and my gym teacher always thinking about, okay like, how are we gonna make this work for you?” says Hilton, “Not thinking like…you should maybe sit out. It was never that.” The 31-year-old uses a series of special straps and chains to perform many of her workouts, and she competes regularly in Crossfit competitions. Hilton hopes to inspire others in similar situations to keep doing what they love. “I want people that maybe do have some sort of physical difference to be able to see that…I shouldn’t let that hold me back from doing the things that I want to do.”
