Finally basketball is back on – so the teenager can get to training – although it’s only once a week. The other day when I picked him up from training he was asking me about crossfit.
I’ve done crossfit for over 5 years now (I should be good at it, right?! – I do my best..). Every year they have an online worldwide competition in which you do a workout every week over 5 weeks, log your scores and get placed in a league table relevant to your age both in your location and worldwide. The top 200 in the world get to do online qualifiers – in which you get to do a further 5 workouts over 4 days one weekend. For the last 2 years I’ve got through to that stage and finished in the top 100 worldwide for my age group.
So he was asking me about that .. then asked if he could come along to try it out.
So yesterday he had his first attempt. There was a technical part in which he was shown cleans (unfortunately not the sort involving bedroom floors and dirty dishes) and a workout with Toes to Bar and box step-overs carrying dumbbells. I do realise that makes no sense unless you’ve tried crossfit!!
He loved it though – result!!
