Good mornings are done by standing with the feet shoulder width apart and hinging at the hip until your torso is parallel to the ground. Make sure to keep your natural lumbar curve during the motion. Supermans are done by lying on the ground on you stomach with arms extended in front of you and then raising you knees and chest off the ground with an arched back.

A proper lunge involves taking a bit enough step that your front knee does not go past your toes and the back knee touches the ground on each step. Even if you cannot get your back knee to touch down, make sure the front knee never goes past your toes. This can damage the knee joint.

Wednesday WOD 20090225

Push jerk 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

CFOZ version

Two minutes of cardio (your choice), samson stretch, CFWU x 3 (x 2 if in first two weeks of WODs)

If you have access to a weights, do this WOD as Rx. Otherwise, use a pvc pipe or broomstick to practice your form. This is not done for time. Each rep is to be done with increasing weight. You are looking for your one rep max effort (1RM). If you feel your form is compromised do not increase the weight. Take as long as needed to recover between sets.

Wednesday WOD 20090218

With a continuously running clock do one pull-up the first minute, two pull-ups the second minute, three pull-ups the third minute…Continue as long as you are able.

Use as many sets each minute as needed.

CFOZ Version

Two minutes of cardio (your choice), Samson stretch, CF warm-up x 3 (x 2 if in first two weeks of WODs).

Skip the pull-ups in the warm-up. Use the pull-up modification you normally do. A jungle gym at a park or in the back yard is a great place to do this workout.

CFOZ WOD

Two minutes of cardio (your choice), Samson stretch, CF warm-up x 2.

PVC/empty bar squat cleans 5-5-5-5-5-5-5

This is only if you have never done squat cleans or have no access to weights. Otherwise you may slowly add weight to the bar for the original single rep version, looking to find your one rep max (1RM). In both cases give yourself a two to three minute rest between sets. When using anything but a PVC pipe make sure to maintain a nuetral lumbar curve in your back. If you find yourself hunching you back, decrease the weight for the remaining sets and practice your form.

For the demonstration video, please go to the CrossFit Exercises link on the right. I should have my Internet connection up on Thurseday, but I cannot post videos from my phone.
