By: Coach Rachel Recently here at Kanna we’ve done a few of the commonly known CrossFit song warm ups. You know, all the ones we love to hate; the ones that make you stop and get ready to burpee when you hear them no matter where you are. I’m a big fan of all of…

Whether we know it or not, our mindset towards a workout and the thoughts we have before, during and after a WOD affect our abilities to perform. I want you to imagine that it’s 8:00 pm and you check the WOD for tomorrow. 21-15-9 Overhead squat 95/65 Double-unders Toes-to-bar If the first thing you thought…
