Day 21: Frogstand, Side Rolls, and Structure!

In today’s CrossFit workout, we try out a different work to rest ratio. Why? Why not just do the same workout over and over? Because variety helps you understand your physical capacity and understanding what you are capable of is (at the very least) fun. Do work. Keep it varied.

For kid’s class today, we worked the side roll. Man, that roll is HARD! But the good news is we showed 3 different versions and the first version everyone should be able to get… the third one, though? It’s tough. But we like challenge and hope you do too!

Friday is internal martial arts with Jaydra day! Join her for her favorite Qigong “wake up” routine.

Today for your take home martial arts work, I’ve mixed striking and grappling together. I know. It’s like chocolate and peanut butter… amazingly delicious. Anyway, try working jabs, level changes, and your penetration step together as one smooth, delicious treat.

Last, and not least, if you’re working on your forms, try putting your phone to use for something other than scrolling through Facebook! Take a video of yourself doing the form, then watch the video and see if you notice anything you could improve. Finally, do the form again! Manifest that correction. Be your own teacher.
