I will run an ADDITIONAL workout on Wednesday this week since there is SOL testing on that day. If you are going to take advantage of this extra WOD, please respond to this post, so I know how many people are going to attend.
Remember, the point of CrossFit Kids is to improve brain function,
so taking the morning off because you have an SOL goes against everything
that we've been working for. If you want to see proof of this, check my Twitter feed to the right of this post.
I've got plenty of articles that show how exercise improves brain
function, attention span, as well as reducing stress and anxiety. Starting with this one Preparing the brain for taking a test.
Sounds like the perfect test taking prep to me!
No Excuses!
Okay, on to the WOD
"Double Double"
As Many Rounds As Possible in 5:00
7 Double Jump Burpees
15 Double Unders
Today's WOD is a partner workout. Partners stand 12-15 feet apart.
Partner A does 5 wall ball
Partner A and B throw the ball 5 times back and forth
Partner B does 5 wall ball
Both partners do 10 Double Unders (30 singles)
AMRAP 3 min
10 Push Ups
10 Sit Ups
10 Air Squats
* With 1 minute rest in between
MEH Students meet and hang out with Mid-Atlantic CrossFit 3rd place finisher, Gretchen Kittelberger. Gretchen works out at CrossFit Reston and will be on ESPN this summer competing in the CrossFit Games.
30 second Handstands (20 Handstand Kick Ups or 5 Wall Walks)
10 Push Ups
The 30 seconds is cumulative and on your honor, you'll count 1-Mississippi, 2-Mississippi, 3-Mississippi until you get to 30. If you come down before the full 30 seconds, start where you left off.
Coach Karl Paoli explains how to kick up into a handstand. His Gymnastics WOD YouTube videos GWOD/Naka Athletics are amazing and can help you with whatever level of handstand you are working on at the moment.
