POV: forward rolls are programmed for your workout.
CrossFit is built around functional movement, but how are somersaults functional 🤔
Forward rolls challenge your vestibular system (balance), proprioception (body awareness), and motor coordination.
Many of our members hadn't attempted a somersault in years (or decades 😬).
Learning new movements challenges your brain to adapt, strengthen neural connections, and develop new motor skills through neuroplasticity.
It can also help your body learn to respond to and redirect the momentum of rolling head over heels, which can save you from serious injury in a fall.
Plus, it just looks cool 😎
