Second day..and the class grew!

The second unofficial day of Crossfit Kids classes at Crossfit Relentless saw the class grow by 3 . It now inlcudes Colby,Elsa and Ava! We reviewed the butterfly squat both for practice and to introduce it to our new athletes. We also went over the "press ups to the sky" move (shoulder press unweighted) to add to our fitness tools. The wod(work out of the day) was 10 butterfly squats,sprint 25 yrds,10 press ups" for about 5-10 minutes. The best part of the day is always the game and we played Crossfit dodgeball. If hit by a certain color ball then the athlete gets to practice the Crossfit exercise that corresponds with that color ball. Red ball = press ups..blue ball = butterfly squats etc. I must say that the fear I had about coaching youth athletes has totally been replaced with excitement, anticipation and fun! It is simply the best part of my day! I believe that I was born to be a Crossfit coach but more now than ever I believe I was born to coach Crossfit for kids!
