Learning a new skill can be challenging, but with practice and persistence it gets easier. For instance -- the squat. It’s one of the most basic movements here at CrossFit LA Kids. In some countries children grow up squatting as part of their culture, but that is not the case here in the U.S. where many of us must be taught how to squat correctly. In addition, as we age the squat becomes more difficult because flexibility decreases.

For these reasons we squat frequently in CrossFit LA Kids class. In fact, May’s “Skill of the Month” is the squat! You will see us squatting in many classes over the next few weeks. Remember new skills take lots of practice to get them right. Keep on squatting!
