Footwork is a commonly overlooked area in lifting with CrossFitters.  Focus on mastering your foot position (i.e. set-up, pull, jump and land) and you will erase bad habits and unlock PR’s.

Today was our traditional annual “12 WOD’s of Christmas” workout and I think everyone figured it out and fell into the rhythm of it. Only one person got out of sequence which is a PR! We had a total of 53 people work out which is pretty good considering we didn’t do this on a Saturday and many are away for the holiday.

The first five exercises are a light “barbell complex” where the sequence of movements progress together. It allows you to “link” them so that after you complete the Deadlifts you transition to the Power Cleans then Push Presses, Thrusters, and Sumo Deadlift High-Pull without putting the barbell down. This combination of exercises for a “12 Days WOD” keeps both the reps of each movement and load low, and the workout is about moving fast and and not getting “stuck” at any one exercise. You will find some “12 Days” workouts programmed with super heavy, complex movements and loads that end up taking well over an hour.  You won’t find us ever programming that style.

Next year we will bring out either a food truck or some type of food/pot luck. I also think it would be fun to do a “White Elephant” gift exchange next year along with the usual amazing sweaters and other assorted Holiday wear.

This year’s holiday card from CrossFit is their best one yet. #pukiecharliebrown
