Workout of the Day (WOD)
Format: AMRAP (As Many Rounds As Possible) in 20 Minutes
The Workout: “The Engine Builder”
Complete as many rounds and repetitions as possible in 20 minutes of:
- 15/12 Calories on Rower (Men/Women)
- 12 Dumbbell Thrusters (Men: 2x 35 lbs / 15 kg DBs, Women: 2x 25 lbs / 10 kg DBs)
- 9 Burpee Box Jump Overs (Men: 24 inch / 60 cm box, Women: 20 inch / 50 cm box)
WOD Movement Standards:
- Rower Calories: Start with feet strapped in. Pull with legs, then hips, then arms. Control the handle back to the starting position. Accumulate the specified number of calories.
- Dumbbell Thrusters: Start with dumbbells in the front rack position (shoulders). Descend into a squat until the hip crease is below the top of the knees. Explode up from the squat, driving the dumbbells overhead until arms are fully extended. The movement must be fluid from squat to overhead.
- Burpee Box Jump Overs: Begin standing. Drop to the ground with chest and thighs touching the floor. Push up, jump or step feet forward, and jump onto the box, landing with both feet. You do not need to stand up on top of the box. Jump or step over the box to the other side. You can face the box or move laterally.
Scaling Options for the WOD:
- Rower Calories:
- Reduce calories (e.g., 12/10 Cals, or 10/8 Cals).
- Substitute with a 200-meter Run.
- Dumbbell Thrusters:
- Reduce dumbbell weight (e.g., Men: 2x 25/20 lbs; Women: 2x 15/10 lbs).
- Reduce repetitions (e.g., 9 or 7 reps).
- Substitute with Wall Ball Shots (14/10 lbs, 12-15 reps).
- Burpee Box Jump Overs:
- Reduce box height (e.g., Men: 20/16 inch; Women: 16/12 inch).
- Perform Burpee Box Step Overs (step up and over the box).
- Perform Burpees (without the jump over).
- Reduce repetitions (e.g., 7 or 5 reps).
Cool-down (8-10 minutes)
- Perform static stretches focusing on:
- Quads (Kneeling quad stretch)
- Hip Flexors (Low lunge stretch)
- Shoulders (Overhead triceps stretch, Pec stretch in doorway)
- Hamstrings (Seated forward fold)
- Lats (Lat stretch, using a rig or bench)
Score: Your score for this WOD is the total number of rounds and repetitions completed within the 20-minute time cap. (e.g., 4 Rounds + 15 Cals + 10 DB Thrusters).
