Crossfit South Bend Kids/Teens Winter Camp Classes

CrossFit South Bend Kids/Teens Winter Camp

We had a great Six week Fall Camp and looking forward to our Winter Camp to begin January 7!!!  We have changed a couple things. First the camp will be eight weeks instead of six and we will have two age groups.  SEE BELOW

If you are new and your child/children wasn’t able to attend last session, let’s recap our FOCUS.

Our focus is on building a great foundation for your child/children that they can use throughout their growing stages of life.  During our eight weeks together we will develop and nurture team building, emotional and physical skills that your child/children use inside and outside the gym. We will start each class learning and reviewing the basic movements used in Crossfit with an interactive game that will allow a transition into teaching them proper body mechanics and ending out our hour with a fun and competitive game or a new skill.

How to Survive the Holidays

By: 0

The holidays can be rough. A lot of people let their healthy eating habits go out the window during the holidays.
 
But there’s a way to survive the holidays when you realize one simple thing: eating whatever you want on the DAY OF Thanksgiving and the DAY OF Christmas, for example, never made anyone fat, sick or diabetic. Those single days are not the problem, assuming you’re eating healthy the rest of the time.
 
The problem is really with two things.
1. That we make November 1st-December 31st into an unmitigated food orgy where if someone randomly brings cookies into work on a Wednesday we just say something like “Oh well, it’s the holidays”
2. The rest of the year we’re not eating that healthy to begin with.
 
So, what’s the solution?
1.Enjoy yourself with family and friends on those SINGLE DAYS that are holidays
2. Make sure you’re eating healthy the vast majority of the time in between the holidays. (Need help with that? Stay tuned for details about our 90 day nutrition challenge coming up in January)
 
You should be able to enjoy yourself for legitimate special occasions like the singles days of the holidays. But just because someone brings cookies into work between Thanksgiving and Christmas doesn’t mean it’s a special occasion.

C. The word “unbroken” should speak to you on how I want this performed, with their being a 4 minute cap as well. This should be just a quick burner.

run 200m
3 Heavy Power Snatches
run 200m
2 Heavy Power Snatches
run 200m
1 Heavy Power Snatches
run 200m

[notes]

A.

Intermediate/Advanced: The 2 isn’t a touch and go, otherwise we would specify that. Separate from the bar and work on your approach.

Beginner: Work on technique and hit sets of 4 in a hang power snatch, you get to move up when the coach says you can.

B.

Intermediate/Advanced: Same here for the workout, find something heavy and grind it out, if you are a more advanced athlete you can work on plate changing and add weight through the workout, or stay the same, whichever you’d like. 80% of your 2rm is a good plate to look at.

Beginner: If you are well under your potential for the 2rm, triple the snatch reps, stay light, and keep the reps clean. There is no such thing as “junk reps” every rep has intention and thought behind it.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”Saturday 11.12.16″ open=”false”]Saturday 11.12.16
