There’re just two more days left of 2020, Community Fitness Club! Let’s mark the passing of the year with a 20 minute AMRAP (As Many Reps As Possible) in which we will perform as many rounds of 20 right leg box step-ups, 20 left leg box step-ups, a 20 second handstand hold, and a 20 second plank hold as we can. 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 as prescribed (Rx):
2020
Rx:
20 minute AMRAP:
20 box step-ups with right leg (24in., 20in.)
20 box step-ups with left leg (24in., 20in.)
20 second handstand hold
20 second plank
Pick a height for the box step-ups that works for you today. Also, if you can’t hold the downward-facing dog stretch or plank for a full, unbroken 20 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:
20 minute AMRAP:
20 box step-ups with right leg to comfortable height
20 box step-ups with left leg to comfortable height
20 second downward-facing dog stretch hold
20 second plank
Perhaps something between the Rx 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 AMRAP:
20 box step-ups with right leg (20in., 20in.)
20 box step-ups with left leg (20in., 20in.)
20 second high incline handstand hold
20 second plank
Your score is the total number of rounds and repetitions you complete during today’s workout. Count each second of the handstand and plank holds as one rep. If you’d like, leave your score in the comment section below!
