I bet your Goat is not this cute!!!
After watching the 2010 CrossFit Games and reading through the comments on our site I noticed that it really opened a lot of Zoner’s eyes with their Goats.
What is a Goat? A goat is an exercise that you don’t like to do… probably because you are not good at it. What are the exercises that you see in a WOD that make you not want to come to the Zone? Which exercises make you cringe every time they are posted???
While watching the live stream of the CrossFit Games, it seemed as though the emphasis this year was on gymnastics elements. A lot of the exercises were a make or break it for the athletes. There were muscle ups, pistols, toes to bar and handstand pushups (ring handstand pushups for the males). To watch the Games, check out the archives
Don’t let this be you…. make sure to continually work on your Goats. You are only as strong / fit as your weakest Goat.
If your Goats are Gymnastics, remember that we are running Gymnastics classes weekly with Sean Lind to work on those movements that randomly pop up on a WOD.
