CrossFit - Introductory Foundation Class - Day 3!

Today we started class with a 400-meter run. I must admit this was much easier than doing the Medley (sshhhh, but don't tell Mr. Selders that).

We then did something Mr. Selders called a "Good Morning."

This basically entails putting a bar behind our head to about the length of the shoulders and drop back to godegrees.

Class ended up being concentrated on two (2) movements:

(1) Deadlift

(2) Hang Power Clean

We practically spent the entire class attempting to get the form for this exeercise down right - Mr. Selders is very big on getting the form correct. This is very important to avoid injury (first and foremost) and so that we can get the maximum workout.

The last thing he taught us that will hopefully deter us from being late to class and/or not bringing our tools (notepad) for the class, is called a burpee.

Mr. Selders said that throughout the workouts, we will be expected to do burpees as part of our routine, but for the most part, I gather that they will be used as "motivational consequences," as he choose to call them.
