GD,

Both are great resources! Thanks for all of your efforts…

He was just a man doing a job. A job whose primary attribute was self-restraint and self-composure, not for his own sake, but for those whom he lead by example. A job whose objective could be boiled down to the single understatement, as he did at the Hot Gates on the morning he died, of performing the commonplace under uncommonplace conditions.

We have too many heroes lost and not enough workout days to commemorate them. I think it’s fitting to always think of the men and women in service, whether military or peace officers and public safety, as we do our workouts. A bit of motivation to throw a little of our sweat and maybe a drop of blood on the floor in their honor.

I have my 9 year old son watching the videos on crossfit kids-
it made me proud watching him do burpees and attempting handstand pushups first off the couch then against the wall with me holding his feet!

Then at the park my 9 year old and my 6 year old daughter were doing jumping pullups! They can do it better than I can! Then they weigh alot less-at least that’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

Success isn’t how far you got but the distance you traveled from where you started.

All the woulda-coulda-shouldas, Layin’ in the sun. Talkin bout the things, they woulda-shoulda done. But those woulda-coulda-shouldas all ran away and hid, From one little did!

Itis pretty exciting to see how much the kids enjoy CrossFit and will use it for “play”
Last weekend we watched our kids make up pool burpees, where they did a burpee but the jump was a dive in and a swim to the other side, only to hop out and do it again and again.

We’re pulling them off the cameras now. We should have some up on Picasa tomorrow and can send full sized files on physical media.

Don’t forget the drowning situp..that one kept our attention.
Knees and feet over the edge, leaning back into the pool deeply submerging head face and torso and then popping back up.

BWAHAHA! Just so long as the “up” portion equals the “lean back” portion . . . we’re good.

Hi everyone!
I am a coach of a High School Girls Cross Country and Track teams. I have also been doing Cross Fit since April and loving the results for myself. I want to take it to my kids. This summer I have a camp that nearly all of the athletes attend. Weightlifting has always been part of this camp. The camp lasts for 6 weeks - 5 days a week. We did the standard - Squat, Deadlift, Clean, Bench and Press exercises that are the core of more quality lifting routine. However, I feel like it would be great to switch to a Crossfit routine. Does anyone have suggestions? Especially those of you that have worked with large groups of kids before? I could have 30-40 boys and girls in 8th - 12th grade.
