More than muscle!

WHAT MAKES A CROSSFIT KID STRONG AND SMART?
1. Listening to the teacher/trainer/Mom/Dad/other adults
2. A good nights sleep
3. eating healthy
4. drinking plenty of water
5. knowing that it is more important to perform the movements safely, than to compete for the "best time"
6. listening to our bodies. When our bodies say to "rest", then we need to!
7. Always doing the best we can!
8. Always saying "I'll try" never "I can't."
9. cheering on other crossfitters!
10. studying hard in school!
These are a few things we talked about in class today...What are some other things that make you strong and smart? (please post to comments)

KIDS and NUTRITION

Nutrition for Kids in 100 words: (per crossfit kids HQ) www.crossfitkids.com
“Sugar is bad, protein is good and you need to eat some in every meal. Nuts and seeds are good fats. Eat them, don’t avoid them. Pasta, white bread, and white rice are not that good for you; stuff that’s stoplight colors (red, green, yellow) found in the fruit aisle is good for you and eat a lot of it! Look at your plate, make a fist. Eat that much every meal; turn your hand over and fill it with nuts and seeds, eat that much good fat, fill the rest of your plate with stuff you found in the fruit and vegetable aisle. Fill your plate this way at every meal, don’t eat more."
Warm-up: 100 meter jog->dot drills->agility drills->50 meter sprints->50 meter back peddles
Focus: Thruster
WOD: 21-15-9 (for time)
Thrusters (DB) 5# -10#
Lunges
(100 meter jog in between each round)
SKILL: practice handstands (modified as needed without assistance)
WHAT WAS ON YOUR PLATE FOR DINNER?

It Starts Here!

Thanks MAJES! And here we go!
Hello everybody! Michele "MAOK" here! Welcome to the new blogger site! I will be posting our kids class workouts of the day (WOD), pictures, information about CFSCC kids and of course, lots of random fun, fun, fun!

Parents! Please be sure to fill out the form on the corkboard in the gym regarding suggested class times! THANKS!
Our next 8 week session will start on January 18th and will offer two different age groups!
Ages 3-5 (Pre-school)
Ages 5-12/13 *
From now until January 18th, CFSCC KIDS classes will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4pm.

* The kids program at CFSCC is designed for general physical preparedness. This prepares a young child or high school athlete to develop functional skills necessary for their sport and play. The workouts are scaled appropriately (making it possible to train a 6 year old and an elite athlete in the same class.)

Parents! please encourage your kids to post, (with your permission) of course! Here they can share their thoughts about the workouts, our community, and happenings!
This is designed as a secure site for our future super crossfitters to have a chance to express themselves! SEE YOU SOON!!!
:) MAOK
3,2,1 GO!!!!!!!!!!!!
