flux CrossFit Kids
Over the past month at flux CrossFit Kids we have been focusing on 'good' food and achieving excellent form and technique in all of our movements including squats, push-ups, planks, sprints, presses, and deadlifts. We have also been concentrating on improving our body line with timed plank drills, slow negatives on push-ups, and ring work (skin-the cats, levers, etc.).
To help each of our Kids continue to make improvements Darci and I have developed a "Goals" checklist which we will be introducing in our flux CrossFit Kids class today.
This goals list will enable coaches, athletes, and family to support every flux Kid in achieving their goals and improving in the following 10 elements of fitness:
1. Cardiovascular/ Respiratory Endurance
2. Stamina
3. Strength
4. Flexibility
5. Power
6. Speed
7. Coordination
8. Agility
9. Balance
10. Accuracy
For the month of November we will be working towards perfecting the following three movements: push-ups, back lever tuck, deadlifts
Push-Ups: strong plank all the way up and down, chest to floor, looking slightly to horizon
Goals:
1 perfect push-up
3 perfect push-ups
5 perfect push-ups
Back Lever Tuck (on the rings): inverted hang, keep back rounded with knees held tightly to chest, thumbs out, lower hips to horizontal position and then pull back through
Goals:
skin the cat - athlete pulling themselves through and back through without spot
back lever tuck - with spot
back lever tuck - without spot
Deadlifts: stance, grip, shins, chest (tightening back), pull
Goals:
5 perfect form deadlifts (with pvc pipe or training bar or weighted bar)
I look forward to helping all of our flux Kids become better athletes!
