Celebrating Pregnancy at CrossFit

  

  This is a Baby Shower at CrossFit!  Yep- we celebrate pregnancy at CrossFit with a WOD (Workout Of the Day) .  In honor of our expectant mothers, we did the following WOD in teams of 3:

3 Rope Climbs

150 Bench Presses @ 65lbs

150 Front Squats @ 65 lbs

90 Pullups

150 Deadlifts @ 65 lbs

90 Handstand Pushups

400m Sled Pull with 90 Double Unders every 100m

  Upon seeing a very pregnant woman in the middle of the workout people always ask “Is that safe?”  Yes it is.  CrossFit can be modified for any condition, including pregnancy. In fact, there is a website that caters to moms-to-be called CrossFit Mom providing information on each trimester and a daily workout just for the pregnant.

  Since, I started CrossFit someone(s) has always been pregnant.  There have been four healthy babies , these two on the way and I am sure there are more to come at my Box.  These women are redefining pregnancy expectations. It doesn’t have to be a “disability.”  You haven’t experienced humble, until a 8 month pregnant woman runs by and beats you to the finish!  Even the men stand back in awe.  These moms-to-be are truly inspiring to watch. Just another reason why CrossFit is amazing! 

Congratulations to our two Mamas-to-be Tianna and Melissa.
