CrossFit Kids Teamwork

Teamwork is an integral part of life and the only way some of us get through a WOD. With the support and comraderie of your fellow crossfitters and teammates you can push yourself harder and perform better.  For our CrossFit Scottsdale Kids, they get introduced to teamwork at an early age.  Not only do they learn to work together but they learn to cheer eachother on and support their teamates too.  Nothing makes me smile more than when our heroes are giving “hi fives”!

“Hell Week”

It’s my Birthday and I’ll cry if you make me? For my “21st” Birthday I partied in Vegas till 4 in the morning. When I turned “26″ I celebrated by opening a Night Club and at “30″ I celebrated by the Grand Opening of CrossFit Scottsdale. So what does the owner and Coach of a CrossFit want this year? “Hell Week” 5x days of the hardest most physically and mentally challenging training on the planet. SEAL FIT is an integral and functional Mind-Body-Spirit training program developed by former Navy SEAL, competetive athlete and martial artist Mark Divine.  Combining training of the mind, body and spirit in the warrior athlete tradition, SEAL FIT is a full-spectrum functional fitness, mental toughness and self awareness training program.

SEAL FIT is popular with CrossFit and competetive athletes, special ops candidates and any professional who seeks to develop serious mental toughness and fortitude, and learn to operate at peak capacity for long periods of time.  SEAL FIT emphasizes Strength, Stamina, Work Capacity, Endurance and Durability development.  Our primary tools are CrossFit, SEAL-inspired Team and Mental Toughness Training, Austere Tools, Hybrid Programming and the Environment. Here is an example of Seal Fit programming. We will be starting a “Hell Week” style training program in October. 2x workouts a day for 5x days. Participants who accomplish and achieve this honor will be recognized on the Warrior wall of fame and have a limited edition “Hell week” CrossFit Scottsdale t-shirt.

Warm Up:
  Run 2 miles at a moderate pace.  Max rep kipping pull-ups, or minimum of 40.

Strength:  Work to 1RM Push Jerk

Stamina:  5 Rounds, not timed:  3 x PJ @ 90% 1 RM, 10 x KTE, Buddy Carry 50 M

Work Capacity:  Tabada That -
2 times through of::
  • 8 rounds of (:20) seconds max effort (:10) seconds rest of:
  • Row, Air Squat, Pull-up, Push-up, Sit-up
  • Rest 3 minutes

Durability:  50x GHD situps. 50x GHD back extension. Stretch.

CrossFit Scottsdale Kids have F.U.N

We had a blast at Saturday’s CrossFit Scottsdale Kids Water WOD! What is great is that we have a blast at every CrossFit Scottsdale Kids class. CrossFit is FUN! Life should be FUN, and CrossFit makes you better at life! Enjoying and associating exercising with fun makes all the difference in what kind of lifestyle we adopt.  Are your kids going to be in front of the T.V.on the couch  in their free time or are they going to be out and about seizing whatever opportunity they find to be active and challenged? We are learning functional movements and building skills that are broad, general and inclusive so that you can play any sport, be more alert in school, be healthier and you can do anything that life throws at you. We are building the foundation for our kids to do the impossible! More importantly we are building a lifestyle where exercising is our play time.   Now that is FUN!

Today’s WOD

Warm Up: 10 Push Ups
Sprint
10 Squats
6 Rounds

Skill: Push Press

WOD: “Little Danny”
10 Minute AMRAP
15 Box Jumps
10 Push Press
15 Pull Ups

Congratualtions to all the CrossFit Scottsdale Kids!  You are all SUPERHEROES!

“Strength & Conditioning” Part I

CrossFit is first and formost  a “Strength and Conditioning” program. With equal parts bieng emphasized on both. The challenge to us as athletes is how much time to spend on each without taking away from the other. “Strong people are harder to kill”Coach Rippetoe once said. I do agree but “Fast people are harder to catch”Coach Kayyem. This week we will integrate a piece of strength training behind each conditioning WOD we perform. Squat, press, deadlift, clean/jerk and pull up. For those of you who are level I students and enrolled in “Strength class” and the after school program use the 5/3/1 principal. After each warm up session we will also get comfortable  on the GHD starting small 5-15x reps and working on proper technique and safety. *See video below.

Warm
400x Run
50x Wall ball’s
50x Push ups

Strength
Back Squat
3,3,3,3,3

Skill
G.H.D (glut, hamstring developer)

WOD

400x run
30x burpees
10x shoulder to overhead #165/95

      • The Freaky 5K Prelims

        09/25/2010 - 08:00 AM

        How do you feel about running? Do you love running and want to keep getting better and faster? Do you hate running and find it frustrating? In either case, the only way to improve is to KEEP RUNNING. Nobody gets better at anything by NOT doing it. Every great athlete at one point was the new guy, learning, fumbling and failing just like the rest of us. People who have achieved "mastery" don't ever stop the work, though. They exercise their "show up, don't quit" attitude over and over. A great way to make the "work" interesting is to put some "skin in the game" and to do it with a group of like-minded people. Which leads me to...the CrossFit Scottsdale 5K Challenge. Are you in?? Cost is $25.00 per participant. Sign up by emailing infor@CrossFitScottsdale.com or signing up at the gym.
