A CrossFit Kids Class at CrossFit Brand X

Training kids is very different than training adults. At the end of the day, we want fitter people, but dealing with young athletes requires a special approach.

In this video shot at CrossFit Brand X, Mikki Martin leads a group of CrossFit Kids through a workout integrating—yes, you guessed it—Lego as a motivational tool. Also part of the workout is game of darts using a Venn diagram filled with movements as the target.

By the end of the video, it’s pretty obvious the kids are having fun, but they’re getting fitter at the same time.
