CrossFit Athletic Group

This morning Mrs. Gloria did her own version of power snatches and double unders. At first I thought we should just get the general idea of jumping and have her go to a plate or two. Then I thought maybe a little bit of running would work. But finally I said, "eff it, let's see if she can jump rope."

Well, she couldn't.

The whole idea of getting her feet and hands to cooperate seemed as problematic as getting Mrs. Tara and Mrs. Nevarez to cooperate (I heard they hate each other). So for the workout we did 5 rounds of 1:00 jump rope attempts and 10-15 kb swings. I figured we could start making progress now with the idea of being able to get something resembling a jump rope a few months from now.

Then out of nowhere Mrs. Gloria began to find a rhythm with the jump ropes during the second round. She used a little in-between jump to help her timing. On her last round, she got them without the in-between jump.

Keep up the good work Mrs. G!
