Kids doing Crossfit?!? YES, absolutely!
The Iron Warriors Crossfit Kids program at IBCF was developed with a mission to build a solid foundation of health and wellness in America’s youth. We want younger generation to understand the importance of taking care of their bodies, and that a little hard work can be fun and pay off!
While Crossfit makes people better (i.e. health, wellness, weight loss/gain, strength gains, competitive: with yourself and others), Crossfit Kids makes better people by empowering kids, creating a lifelong positive definition of fitness, addressing health risks/concerns, and building a community!
Crossfit Kids was developed in 2005 and “is a method for teaching Greg Glassman’s CrossFit to children ages 3-18. Based on the principle of Mechanics, Consistency and then Intensity, CrossFit Kids emphasizes good movement throughout childhood and adolescence. Which translates to physical literacy, enhanced sports performance and fewer sports injuries for kids. Not only that, a vast body of research indicates that exercise is beneficial to cognitive function, which means consistent adherence to the program can have a positive impact on children’s academic achievement.” (crossfitkids.com)
What does that mean to you and your kiddo? BIG fun for all ages!! “Broad-Inclusive-General fun; Fun means we provide an active alternative to sedentary pursuits, which means less childhood obesity and all-around better health for our children. Our program is scalable for any age or experience level allowing varied maturation status in one class.
