Let me guess… you’ve got stiff hamstrings, locked-up hips, and a painful lower back?
What most people would consider extreme flexibility-the splits, full lotus, wheel pose-is actually just natural range of motion. If you doubt this, spend an afternoon with any 10-year-old kid and you’ll realize that we were ALL naturally flexible – we just lost it!
Would you be interested in doing a Yoga class every week at the Zone? That’s right… at CrossFit Zone! We want to know if you are interested in trying yoga. Please let us know and we will add some classes to the schedule.
Did you know that with increased flexibility it will help you with…
- Squats
- Presses
- Olympic lifting
- Handstands
- Toes to bar / knees to elbows
- Pullups
- Ring work
I think I just named most of the CrossFit exercises!
