Boise CrossFit On-Ramp


Day 1

What is fitness/cf?

Increase work capacity across broad times and modal domains, using constantly varied functional movements at relatively high intensity (as seen in CrossFit L1).

Workout

“Baseline” for time 500m row 40 squats 30 situps 20 pushups 10 pull-ups

Baseline will determine how someone moves their body. The bodyweight movements makes this workout accissible to people with strength being a limiting factor. Pushups and pull-ups can be scaled.

Day 2

400m run and other routes (jog the 400 to warmup). Tell them about 200m & 800m routes.
