WODprep Strategy Top Tips:

There’s nothing like finishing the week off with a bit of gentle cardio. Today’s workout is predominately bodyweight movements with air squats and push-ups, but don’t like the simplicity of the movement catch you out. However, they are the fundamentals of more complex skills such as squat cleans, ring muscle ups, and much more!

Including this kind of workout into your normal routine is great for the mind and awesome for drilling in movement patterns that will help you in competition plus later in life when the old bones start creaking. Enjoy!

 

Air squats are a major part of our independent life, let alone CrossFit®. In this video we get very basic and go over proper technique and drills to do an air squat the right way:

Recovery is not just what you do in the 30 minutes after a workout. Conventional ‘recovery tips’ tend to focus on a very short post workout period and are focused on thinks like ‘do a cool down’, ‘do some stretching or mobility’, and ‘get protein right away.’ These are all fine, but do not really address the bigger recovery picture.

True recovery is a much longer process in which your body takes all the stress you just put it through and rebuilds itself stronger. Your energy systems, cardiovascular system, nervous system, muscles, bones, joints, and brain all need resources and time to properly recover.
