CrossFit Kids- Health Clinics

The lovely Dr. Kathy Weesner recently orchestrated a "health and fitness room"
at the Math and Science Night of an elementary school in Johnson County, Kansas.

There was a "health check" station consisting of two parts - a blood pressure check area
and a learning activity called "The Physics of Fitness".

There they discussed the equations for work and power, and had a quick game line
where the children did "work" using 4lb dynamax balls, and 4 kg kettlebells. Lucky Kids.

Play Day

Play a NEW sport. Something you have never tried before,
learn and have fun.
