Rules of this WOD: 1.) Must complete all reps of one exercise before moving on to the next exercise 2.) One person goes at a time 3.)Must show good form 4.) Reps are added up between the 3 members to achieve the designated amount of reps (example for 100 pull-ups: Person 'A' could do a total of 30 reps, Person 'B' a total of 30 reps, Person 'C' a total of 40 reps which would equal 100 reps)

Monday, June 16 WOD- (Workout of the Day)

2008-06-15T19:10:00.000-07:00

Today is assessment Day!!

Why do we have this day? There are many reasons but a few of the important ones are: To see what adjustments may need to be made for individuals during our WODs, to show improvements over time, to show weaknesses, imbalances, strengths, etc.

This day will be important for future individual scaling of WODs.

This will be Scaled According to Age and Ability Level. Some possibilities might be:

Perfect Push-ups in 1 minute
Max Broad Jump
Max Box Jumps in 1 Minute (12 in/16 in/20 in)
Max Sit-ups in 1 min
Max Set of Ring Rows in 1 minute
Short Sprint
200-400 meter Run

Don't be Scared, we'll have Fun.......3-2-1 GO!!

Followed by Technique instruction of the Squat (air squat)

The main session consisted of: Burpees with a lateral hop over low barrier

Push-ups (emphasis on perfect technique)

Squats (air squat)

We finished this up by playing an active game for a few minutes.

Here are some pics: (sorry, I don't think that I got pics of everybody)

Crossfit Kids!!!!

Crossfit Park City is starting a Crossfit Kids and Teens program…..wooohoooo!!
Throughout the next couple of months in the newsletter and posts on the Crossfit Kids Blog, I will be talking a little more in-depth about the program and how it can benefit kids/teens of all ages and ability levels. I will also be talking about some of the myths that are out there about kids and teens participating in exercise programs.

This months: Myth # 1: “It is not safe for kids to lift weights!!”

First, I should point out that Crossfit is about more than lifting weights and that it is about incorporating all aspects of fitness into a comprehensive program (coordination, balance, speed, endurance, strength, etc). Realistically, kids will spend more time developing other skills rather than pure weight lifting. However, when I start talking about a fitness program for kids, one of the common responses is: “it is not safe for kids to lift weights” or “it will hurt their growth plates”. Obviously parents don’t want to hurt their kids, but is it true that kids who lift weights have a higher rate of growth plate injuries compared to the rest of the population? I could go into a bunch of scientific mumbo-jumbo and give some history on how this all came about, but I don’t feel like boring you into a coma. So I’ll keep this short and sweet.
The short answer is “no, it’s not unsafe for kids to lift weights”. This is especially true when done under supervision by a specialist and given the proper instruction. Obviously, I’m not going to have a 5 -year old stud doing heavy barbell back squats. Younger kids will start learning movement technique with extremely light or no weight and the focus will be on the perfection of technique and skill development, which can lead to a ton of benefits, as Jeff Martin (founder of Crossfit Kids) would say “the magic of Crossfit is in the movements themselves”. As a child progresses in experience and age so will weight and complexity of skills being developed. What’s interesting is that most injuries in kids happen through recreational or teams sports such as football, soccer, mountain biking, skiing, etc and no one really gives a thought as to these sports being overly dangerous. One study showed this: the injury rate for weight training is .0012 injuries per 100 participant hours, now compare this to soccer which showed an injury rate of 6.2 injuries per 100 participant hours. There are other studies out there that will also show that lifting weights is a relatively safe and injury-free fee activity when properly supervised. Furthermore, there are no real studies to show that proper weight training for kids is unsafe. What we are going to find out is that there are actually a lot of benefits for kids lifting weights and that’s what I will talk about in the newsletter and through this blog.
Keep checking the website for more info and updates on the kids program!!

ANY Age can Benefit From Exercise!

The idea of exercise being detrimental to youth is a myth. Over the next couple of weeks you will see posts providing evidence and explanations as to why exercise can be so beneficial to your kids. Everyone from 5 to 105 can benefit from CrossFit. It is a scaleable program by nature. Training a 5 year old and a grandparent vary only by degree of intensity, not by the movements themselves.
