Go on, put a smile on during your WOD!

‎"Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher. Life is already filled with those who want to bring you down." 
-Oprah Winfrey

Above:  Single Arm weighted Overhead Squats recruit a lot of your smaller muscles for stabilization.  Many of our athletes were surprised at the demand on the core required during an unbalanced movement.  Single-Arm movements also pull out a "weaker" side of the body, or the non-dominant side.

Today's WOD:
For time:
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 rep rounds, of:
1-Arm Overhead Squat, Right (53/35 lbs. KB)
1-Arm Overhead Squat, Left (53/35 lbs. KB)
10 Box Jumps (24") after each set of Overhead Squats



There's something so warm and fuzzy about watching children hit a WOD, especially when they are in their element and enjoying the moment.  Yes, Haya is smiling while Overhead Squatting and Burpee-ing!  I think she's onto something--I'm going to have to try her WOD technique on Monday of smiling throughout the workout.  Love it!
