Today’s workout is a tough 20 minute EMOM (“Every Minute on the Minute”) in which you will perform 10 toes-to-bar in the first minute, 20 dumbbell overhead walking lunges in the second minute, 10 burpees in the third minute, and you will rest for the fourth minute. This will continue for 5 rounds until the 20 minutes are complete.
Consider doing a test round of today’s EMOM during your warm-up. If it takes you more than 40 seconds to complete any set, modify either the movement or the number of repetitions performed. You’ll only get slower as the workout progresses, so pick a scaling option that you can maintain throughout the whole WOD!
If you are an experienced athlete and feel capable, please perform the following WOD:
Experienced:
20 minute EMOM:
Minute 1: 10 toes-to-bar
Minute 2: 20 dumbbell overhead walking lunges (35lb, 25lb)
Minute 3: 10 burpees
Minute 4: rest
Beginners can make several modifications to today’s workout to make it more doable. Toes-to-rig can be substituted for toes-to-bar; modified lunges can be substituted for dumbbell walking lunges; and the burpees can be modified. The number of repetitions performed each minute can also be scaled. A beginner’s version of today’s workout could look like this:
Scaled 1:
20 minute EMOM:
Minute 1: 8 toes-to-rig
Minute 2: 12 modified lunges
Minute 3: 8 elevated no push-up burpees
Minute 4: rest
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:
20 minute EMOM:
Minute 1: 10 hanging knee raises
Minute 2: 16 dumbbell overhead walking lunges (25lb, 15lb) or dumbbell walking lunges (35lb, 25lb)
Minute 3: 8 step-back burpees
Minute 4: rest
Please listen to your body, and pick the version of the workout that is right for you. You can always adjust mid-WOD if you find that the modifications you’ve picked are too easy or too difficult.
