Crossfit kids class 3/08/2010

We introduced a new movement in class today....the oompa loompa! Yes it sounds silly but this is just a neat way to get the kids visualize what the "push press" looks like. Remember the dance the little orange guys  performed on Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? Well,add and overhead press and you basically get the push press. The kids had fun with this one and we incorporated it into the workout. 10 walking lunge steps and 10 oompa loompa's. The game was Crossfit basketball. The kids had to shoot a basketball and if the made  a shot they would all perform 5 "press ups to the sky". If they missed they would do 5 butterfly squats. Little Elsa missed her first few trys and you should have seen the look of suprise and happiness when she finally hit her shot. Simply priceless!
