Well, I'm still fighting my head cold, but I think it's on the way out. I went to my class, though, as the teacher.
I had the class do a version of yesterday's workout. Instead of 10 rounds, though I scaled things back. Also, instead of having them go across the whole distance, I had them half the distance.
As usual, the workouts stayed around 10 minutes. The evening workouts are usually shorter, since the class has already been going for about an hour.
Tomorrow morning's class should be interesting.

The Monday Class That Wasn't
I woke up this morning to see snow on the ground and more falling all the time. Living in the South, I figured no one would be at the class. I decided to go anyways, though. Even though I had a head cold, I knew I could at least go in and go through a modified version of the Crossfit warm up.
I was right about no one being in class this morning. It's kind of sad, since I had a new workout all figured out for everyone. The plan is below.
10 Rounds For Time
Dot Drills (go through each of the drills before moving on)
Lunges
5 Hand Stand Push Up (progression)
Bear Crawl
Well, since the Monday morning class didn't do them, then I guess the Tuesday evening class can do a scaled down version (probably fewer Rounds).

New Month, New Movement
Every month, we work on a new movement. Learning to move your body into odd positions, things you're not used to, help give you a better feel for your body and what you can do. For February, we're concentrating on
H A N D S T A N D S.
Handstands help develop better strength in the shoulders and give us a feel for body position, even when upside down. Luckily, we have a good location to practice, with padded floors and free standing posts to allow you to kick up without worrying about hurting yourself too much on the fall.
I surprised myself a little bit by easily getting into a pretty straight head stand on the first try. Of course, the next move in the progression will be a Frog-Stand (for balance) and some kick-ups (for strength and balance).
