Box Jumps and Shipwrecks

Today's WOD:
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
Box Jumps
Kettlebell Swings

Game: Shipwreck
All athletes must swing from the platform (shipwreck) to a smaller platform (rescue dingy) on a rope. If any athlete falls into the shark infested waters they all must return to the shipwreck platform and try again. This game involves grip strength, coordination, and of course TEAM WORK! After about 5-6 tries our CrossFit Teens successfully completed the task and got 6 castaways onto the small rescue dingy without becoming shark bait (ooo ha ha!)

Superman / Banana

Coach Jeremy Thiel joined our CrossFit Kids for a little game of "Superman / Banana." The athlete holds the superman position until the coach yells, "banana" at which point the athlete flips over without putting down their arms or legs and holds the hollow rock position. We have some really strong cores in this class! Thanks Coach Jeremy for playing along.

Nutrition Meeting and Taste Test

The Nutrition Meeting and Taste Test was a fun time for our CrossFit Kids and Teens to learn more about healthy eating and to try some new smoothie recipes. We had four varieties to choose from: chocolate/banana, tropical/vanilla, choco-almond butter, and strawberry/peach. The kids taste tested every variety and voted on the winner - STRAWBERRY-PEACH!

Thanks to everyone who came and participated! A special thanks to the mom's who helped make the smoothies.
