There are just three more days left of 2022, Community Fitness Club! Let’s mark the passing of the year with a 22 minute AMRAP (“As Many Reps As Possible”) in which we will perform as many rounds as possible of 20 right leg box step-ups, a 22 second Superman hold, 20 left leg box step-ups, and a 22 second plank hold. Please note that we’re doing the box step-ups a little differently than we usually do today. Instead of alternating legs, we will step up with our right leg first 20 times followed by stepping up with our left leg first 20 times. You should feel a nice burn by the end of the workout!
If you are an experienced athlete and feel capable, please perform the following WOD:
2022
Experienced:
22 minute AMRAP:
20 box step-ups with right leg (24in., 20in.)
22 second Superman hold
20 box step-ups with left leg (24in., 20in.)
22 second plank hold
Pick a height for the box step-ups that works for you today. Also, if you can’t hold the Superman hold or plank for a full, unbroken 22 seconds, that’s okay! Break the holds into shorter increments and rest as needed. A beginner’s version of today’s workout could look like this:
Scaled 1:
22 minute AMRAP:
20 box step-ups with right leg to a comfortable height
22 second Superman hold (broken up as needed)
20 box step-ups with left leg to a comfortable height
22 second plank hold (broken up as needed)
Perhaps something between the experienced version and the beginner version of the WOD is right for you today. Another variation of today’s WOD might look like this:
Scaled 2:
22 minute AMRAP:
20 box step-ups with right leg to a comfortable height
22 second Superman hold
20 box step-ups with left leg to a comfortable height
22 second plank hold
Your score is the total number of rounds and repetitions you complete during today’s workout. Count each second of the Superman and plank holds as one rep. If you’d like, leave your score in the comment section below!
