Maybe Consider Keeping You Kids Crossfit This Year
CrossFit is a strength and conditioning program integrating metabolic conditioning, strength training, and gymnastics into workouts designed to improve your quality of life, fitness, and health. An approach that combines all elements necessary to build functional fitness: strength, endurance, agility. It is evidence-based fitness with measurable, observable, and repeatable results. CrossFit is a General Physical Preparedness program designed to prepare our athletes for life outside the box. It’s always best to look into a good Crossfit personal trainer in the Tampa Bay areas, or where ever you may be, to achieve the level of fitness you and your kid’s desire.
How can CrossFit Kids benefit my child?
CrossFit for children enhances a child’s motor skills by teaching better movement and cognitive skills through engaging children to think about their movement, count their reps, remember the sequences, and work towards goals. CrossFit for kids augments a child or teen’s involvement in sports by incorporating strength training and conditioning to make our CrossFit athletes better athletes at any sport.
In addition to increasing a child’s or teen’s fitness and athleticism, CrossFit Tampa:
• instills a lifelong definition of health and positive body image,
• reverses prevalent health issues such as obesity,
• protects against injury,
• creates a community of like-minded individuals for support and self-confidence, and
• hones life skills such as concentration, problem solving, perseverance, dedication, motivation, and goal-setting.
Fitness as a Lifestyle – One of the main reasons I started working with children is because it was important to me to instill the value of fitness at an early age. It is also important to make sure kids find fitness fun – if children grow up associating working out with being something enjoyable and clearly seeing the benefits to their bodies and health, then they are more likely to keep fitness as a priority throughout their lives. Eating healthy becomes a natural and normal choice and being active becomes something they just do. Enrolling kids in an all-encompassing program like CrossFit training also shows children health and fitness is something their parents prioritize and want to educate them about.
My favorite thing as a CrossFit coach is when a whole family ends up working out together. We have numerous families who are all members of my gym. So maybe when you bring your children to check out a CrossFit class, you might check one out yourself, too. Sharing a love for fitness can be not only a time for your family to bond, but also ensures you more happy healthy years together.
What is inappropriate behavior for children?
Generally, we would like children to maintain self-control and not act against the coaches’ instructions. Inappropriate behavior for children includes but is not limited to: inappropriately distracting others during class, not listening to the coaches’ instructions, disobeying coaches’ instructions, disrespecting others, disrespecting equipment, creating a dangerous environment for self and others, criticizing others, or acting without own or other children’s safety in mind. CrossFit training for children should be fun, and we want to keep it that way for everyone!
