October Mobility ChallengeFlexibility (which we often call mobility) is a physical trait that can be trained and it is ESSENTIAL to CrossFit. You simply must have full range of motion of your ankles and knees to squat to depth. You must have full range of motion in our shoulders, elbows and wrists to support and receive the bar safely in the clean or snatch. We take mobility training seriously and lead you through specific mobility practices every class to prepare you for the workout of the day. Some of you NEED MORE practice! Mobility can be practiced daily:) To help you improve your Mobility we are starting an October Mobility Challenge on Monday. You can do this challenge via GOWOD or for free by downloading the mobility worksheet below. To participate in the challenge you must complete the FREE GOWOD Mobility assessment. Then, do your mobility exercises every day. The person who improves their your mobility the most wins. Easy Peasy:) All is take is 10 minutes a day to improve the issues in your tissues. About half of the gym has completed the free GOWOD mobility assessment. This is how we collectively stack-up. Here's the free spreadsheet if you want to work on your mobility like an OG:) This program relies on mobility exercises in the Becoming a Supple Leopard book by Kelley Starrett. The good news is that like weightlifting, flexibility and mobility improve with practice. If you would like to improve your range of motion, ask Coach Leslie for the gym discount code for a GOWOD premium membership.
