He enjoyed it and I got a lot of stretching in while coaching him along.
Good deal! Might want to look into some of the online info/articles put out by the Crossfit Kids folks. My 5yo and 8yo did a short class over Xmas break, and I was pretty impressed with how they taught the movements for various lifts. Just a suggestion.
