Cross Fit Challenges

Weekly challenges are an interesting way for keeping the athletes encouraged and refreshed during the course of the week. These challenges look very simple but have proven to be very effective and increase the athletes’ core strength and stamina. Every week there are few challenges out lined for the athletes, which help them get stronger during the course of the week. These challenges need not be completed at the gym.
These challenges can be done anywhere, at home, at work, at the airport and they don’t require any special equipment.  In fact you don’t need to join cross fit to do these challenges. What makes it interesting to do it at a box is that the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation provided by coaches and athletes, who want to get the best out of everyone.   Some of the challenges include the following   1) Accumulate a total of 5 minutes in either a plank hold or handstand hold.
2) Achieve 25 Strict Pull Ups using whichever variation of the movement that will best help you build strength. This means selecting something that will make the 4-7 rep range challenging. This could vary from an appropriately challenging body angle on the ring row, to bands, to weighted strict pull ups. If you can crank out more than 7 at a time, it's not challenging enough for the purposes of this challenge.   3) 1 Minute of couch stretch for every hour of sitting for 3+ days.   Good luck everyone on these challenges.
