For my K-1st students I normally keep it pretty simple and use the same activities I’ve mentioned above, but with my 3rd-5th grade classes (and sometimes a mature 2nd grade class) I find that most of the games below work pretty successfully. Once I feel we are ready I will introduce some fun quick games or challenges as instant activities for my classes that can handle it. I usually don’t introduce games as instant activities until after at least the first quarter since I want my kids to get into a good routine and learn the dynamics of each class and student.

This applies to aerobic or cardio exercise, so this knowledge is useful for your Metcons.You can also add more levels if you want them to work on more than one variation of the skill, see an example below for a format that I use often to allow students to self progress using animated GIFS to show skill specific instant activity challenges. Research has shown that a moderate warm up can increase the time it takes you to exhaust yourself physically, allowing for a longer workout. We will also reinforce the importance of including a warm up in your routine.

Some are great to do alone, others work better in groups. We promise, we will show some fun and interesting warm-ups for CrossFit. If you find yourself unmotivated or uninspired during warm-up, maybe it is time to shake things up.

So, how are your CrossFit warm-up exercises working for you lately? I think I don’t always put my all into the warm out in part because we do them alone, and I am fundamentally motivated by camaraderie and peer pressure, and in part because the warm up itself is uninspired.īut we are not here to psychoanalyze my motivation we are here to talk about CrossFit Warm-ups. What are the best CrossFit warm up ideas?.
