A Brand X Method™ Kids Workout

WARM-UP:
10-meter Santa sled pulls using pillowcases as sleds on soft surfaces or tire sleds on hard surfaces

FOCUS:
Squat – super-slow squats to box
Counting drills to 5 and to 7; ask kids to be careful not to finish before trainer count is finished

GET READY:
1:00 each side – hamstring on box (focus on flat back)

CONDITIONING:
2-3 rounds
1:00 – pull-ups or progressions
1:00 – blocked squats
1:00 – grasshoppers
1:00 – push-ups

GAME:
Snowball Circle – Place upside down jump box or empty cardboard box 10 meters from 5-meter-diameter saucer cone circle. Pile 10-15 snowballs (plastic-wrapped packing peanuts) in the center of the circle. Have players lie on their tummies facing the center. Call out any number of burpees. Players perform burpees and get a snowball from the circle. Return and repeat. We found an ascending number of burpees worked well. After all snowballs are gone from the center, players line up in front of box about 3-5 meters away and throw their pile of retrieved snowballs. Players keep the snowballs they make in the target but all misses return to the center pile and play resumes.
