Monday night was my first experience as a crossfit coach for Cooee Crossfit! I was the main demonstrator for the 7pm fundamentals group of which there was a fairly big group of 9 new athletes. I had to demonstrate to the group the air squat, squat therapy, front squat, back squat, overhead squat, box jumps, push up & sit up. I also had to move around the room and check that each athlete was performing the movements correctly. I jumped in the WOD with them to make up numbers and it goes to show that crossfit does not get any easier! I was destroyed by this “easy” fundamental workout of ‘fun gone bad’. It felt great being on the coaching side of sport and gaining respect from those you are training. The main concern really was demonstrating each movement with near perfect technique, but focusing on my form for a change couldn't have hurt! Overall I feel i did a good job.
Monday's workout was a real leg burner:
AMRAP 20:
-400m run
-15 American KB swings (28kg)
-10 box jumps (24")
The swings actually felt pretty good, but on the other hand my usual strength of box jumps felt as though they were 50" jumps! I ended up with a score of 6 rounds.
