A New Take on Physical Education & Athletics

Schools are even adopting CrossFit into their classrooms around the world. Teachers say that they like the workouts because each one can be a quick and simple activity to get all kids up and moving. Also, some teachers out west have even been able to set up a full box in their school. CrossFit is also being implemented into school athletics for students. Some schools provide students with the options to develop teams or compete as individuals at competitions as way way of feeling part of a team. I think this is a great way to get students who are not gifted at excelling in sports that involve a ball. CrossFit provides an avenue for every student to feel successful and part of something.

Check out the video below where a school intergrated CrossFit into everyday PE!

  1. I think it is so cool that cross-fit is being implemented into school physical education programs now. I could definitely see the potential for more successful physical education classes. When I was in high school there were always those kids that would try really hard and participate in everything and leave class all sweaty and tired out, but there were also people who would hardly do anything at all and leave class looking just like they did when they arrived. I think incorporating cross-fit will be very beneficial in that everyone will have to do the exact same activities and get the same workout each class.
