first Saturday and wall balls

Today was the first Saturday of our Crossfit Kids program. One of the best things about the Saturday class is it runs at the same time as our 9 am adults class so moms and dads can come to Crossfit with their kids! Todays new skill was wall ball,a movement this is a Crossfit staple . Simple squat to below parallel and as you stand up you throw your medicine ball at a target on the wall. With our Crossfit Relentless kids we use soft balls,basket balls and for the oolder kids we use 4 and 6 lb medicine balls. They love,it just seems natural for kids to throw a ball at the wall. Our work out was 10 wall balls and then  one traverse of the monkey bar, repeat for 5 -10 minutes. Our game was crossfit kickball,once they kick the ball they get to perform 5 butterfly quats. When you make it fun kids will do almost anything you ask. Our hope is to make this so much fun they forget they are exercising and learn to make this a part of their life forever. We are off to a good start!
