The flux CrossFit Kids Saturday skill development and W.O.D. included deadlifts. After warming up we watched the video of Duncan (from Brand X CrossFit Kids) deadlifting. Then we set up to learn the important 5 steps involved in performing a proper deadlift.
1. Stance
2. Gripping the Bar
3. Shins to the Bar
4. Chest Up, Chest Up, Chest Up
5. Lift
Once we really started feeling the movements well in our bodies, we moved from the pvc pipe to a weighted bar (not too heavy though).
Both Julia (age 6) and Mason (age 8) concentrated hard on having good form and getting the technique down. They performed deadlifts for the first time and they did it well.
We also worked on L-Sits, box jumps, and sprints.
Way to go Mason and Julia. We're all very proud of you!

Julia says "thank you charity, that workout was very difficult but it was so fun"
