💜 CrossFit + Strength Programming for Women by @shawna_norton 🏠@crossfit1904_
… Check out all the programs ⬇️

Learning how to kick up with control is a MASSIVE Learning how to kick up with control is a MASSIVE piece of the “being upside down” puzzle, and the better you get at it the more confident you’ll feel with all things handstands (including handstand walking!).

If you’re someone who routinely almost puts holes in the wall or doesn’tr trust themselves kicking up for walking because you’re convinced you’ll kick right over, this drill is for you!

By forcing yourself to kick up further away from the wall you have to be smart about how much force you apply (still gotta get over, but don’t want to be collapsing) AND it gives you a little longer to feel the feet going over your head.

Focus on letting your feet barely tap against the wall, squeezing your butt as you get into the handstand position.

Give these a try the next time you’re working on your handstands, and let us know how they go! 

Want to work on your handstands consistently? We’re working on them at least once a week in our crossfit programming - you can access the whole thing or just the Open Prep gymnastics track. Head to our linktree to try a week for free!

Do you really really really want to get better at Do you really really really want to get better at jumping??! We GOT YOU!

So first, you are NOT alone in your jumping struggles - ESPECIALLY getting onto that DAMN BOX! Jumping doesn’t come naturally to a lot of women - for a whole host of reasons (like hypermobility, not strong calves, feet, hips, fear of being off the ground).

The cool thing is that just like any movement, with enough practice and strength building you can get better - we PROMISE (even to the point of jumping on the box!!). Here are 6 ways to make it happen ⬇️

1️⃣ Depth Jumps

Depth jumps are an awesome way to work on your jumping muscles in reverse. Just like we do pull-up negatives to build pulling strength, jumping OFF something helps build the muscles you need to jump UP (to be a strong jumper you need to be a strong lander!). Go HIGH on these (and play around with closing your eyes when you step off).

2️⃣ Depth Jump to Tuck Jump

Develop the strength to land and then work on your jumping strength/reaction time and explosiveness (these are a LOT of fun!)

3️⃣ Jumping on Plates Next to the Box

These are great to help you see that you CAN jump that height, and for some the smaller surface feels less intimidating (it’s not as big and there aren’t as many sharp corners to get you!). Stack some, jump, add some, keep jumping!

4️⃣ Tuck Jumps Next to Box

These help you see the height you can jump. Record yourself and gain confidence your feet get that high (and of course they help you build the power to be the strongest jumper!)

5️⃣ Weighted Jump Squats

These help you be explosive and develop that initial drive off the ground (these are also an awesome way to warm up for Oly and squats!)

6️⃣ Broad Jumps

These are a great way to build power and to help you develop strong landing skills- also a great exercise to add into warm ups!

Try doing SOMETHING jumping related every day you’re in the gym, even if it’s just a few broad jumps, and play around with the ones that make you feel the strongest and the most confident!

Which one do you like the best? Which one scares you the most??! Share with your friends who want to get stronger at jumping!
