161109 - CrossFit | Wednesdays with Coach Lauren
It’s beginning to look a lot like a CrossFit Christmas!
Coach Lauren’s fitness themed holiday gift guide!
Holidays are fast approaching so if you want to get a jump start on your shopping, here are some suggestions for your own list OR ideas to purchase for your favorite CrossFitter!
1. JUMP ROPE
Step up your double-under game with your very own rope. I found that when I had a consistent rope to use, those DU’s started to come much easier! You don’t need anything too fancy pantsy just one that is measured to your height and works!
2. NATURAL GRIPS
Protect those hands with some simple and thin grips. They come in tons of colors and you can get cutesy little sayings or logos on them too! There are many different types of straps and gloves out there but these seem to be the most durable, don’t hinder my grip strength, and easy to take on/off.
3. PALEO COOKBOOKS
Stuck in a recipe rut!? Throw a sweet new cookbook on your list! I personally like ones with lots of pictures in them so I know what the food SHOULD look like when I’m done.

4. WOD JOURNAL
There are companies that make notebooks specifically for CrossFit Land but you could always pick out a blank journal with a cool cover at Barnes and Noble. That works too!
5. MONTHLY BOX SUBSCRIPTION
A couple of people at our gym already have this and seem to enjoy it. If you have more questions, I will direct you their way. Basically, it is a box filled with tons of fun new CrossFitty things and it is delivered straight to your door once a month. The gift that keeps on giving!

7. TALL SOCKS
Rope climbs are no fun without some tall socks to protect you...speaking from experience! A pair of funny tall socks will not only brighten your day but also keep your shins from burning/bleeding! YAY!

8. MOBILITY TOOLS
Take your mobility routine home by stocking yourself with all the necessary tools! I suggest a foam roller, pvc pipe, lacrosse ball, large ball, or resistance bands! And if you really want to make the gift complete, you can add the book Supple Leopard by Kelly Starrett!
