Her workouts involve push-ups, handstand push-ups, pull-ups, burps, box jumps, air squats, barbell back squats, deadlifts and full cleans, along with 20 straight pull-ups, lifting a 50lb back squat, and a 65lb deadlift. Okay! Now, who is she? What is so special about this now that we are writing it on our page when there are many who are into such intense workout routine? Well! I'm talking not about any adult or a child of 10 years age at least. I'm talking about a little girl who started hitting the gym routines when she was just 10 months old. Not even one year old but weights became her toys. She never played with toys. Why need toys when there's a lot of equipment in the gym that's calling her! Prisais, a wonder kid from California, is dumbfounding everyone with her fitness regime. Let's get to know more about her and understand why her story is worth reading!

Like Father, Like Daughter:

Prisais' father is the co-owner of Automo Crossfit in Moorpark, California and is a former NFL player turned personal trainer. He hits the gym every day as a part of his job. Prisais surprised her father when she was just three months old. While other toddlers struggle and try hard to move at three months of age, Prisais started crawling already. By the time she was 7 months old, her little feet started walking! Prisais walked so fast that her foot was turned out to the side in a way resulting it to drag when she walked. When Townsend mentioned this to her paediatrician, the doctor assured that it was fine as babies just usually can’t walk that early but Prisais is. As a result, she said, some parts of her body need time to catch up to her coordination. Though it was extremely unusual, the doctor assured that it had nothing to worry about. When Prisais reached 10 months, Townsend took her to the gym regularly along with him. After Townsend observed that the girl is enthusiastically exploring the space whenever she was taken out of the stroller, he wanted to let the girl explore more. So, whenever he took a break, between the sessions, he would let Prisais run around and do whatever she wanted.

She had such a natural gift for everything she tried in the gym, he says.

When he noticed his daughter's interest, he started offering her some light training.

Picked Up All By Herself:

Prisais interest in the gym routines grew with her age. Townsend always eyed upon her so she doesn't get into the intense workout and hurt herself. During this process, Prisais showed her father, her love and ability for weight lifting. Even before Prisais cut her first birthday cake, she was eagerly heading towards swollen muscles. She picked up two-pound dumbells straightway and started doing dumbbell snatches with it.

I had never shown her how to do anything like that, says Townsend.

Prisais just watched her father do the things in front of her and she caught them right. When Prisais was 14 months old, she amazed her father by jumping on to a plate two feet off the ground. When her father wanted to test her athletic abilities again and asked her to do the feat again, she did it without hesitation. “If you ask a baby or a toddler to do a squat, they simply can’t or won’t do it. But she knew how to open up her feet, keep them shoulder-length apart, and seemed to instinctively understand technique and form", says the proud father.
