Today’s workout is an EMOM (Every Minute On the Minute). In this workout, you will perform as many burpees as possible in the first minute and then as many kettlebell deadlifts as possible in the second minute. This will continue for 5 rounds until the 10 minutes are up.
Please approach today’s WOD with restraint. You don’t want to go so hard in the first couple of rounds that you have nothing left to give in the last few rounds. Try to maintain a fairly consistent number of burpees and kettlebell deadlifts each round.
If you are an experienced athlete and feel capable, please perform the following WOD as prescribed (Rx):
Rx:
10 minute EMOM:
Minute 1: max effort burpees
Minute 2: max effort kettlebell deadlifts (53lb, 35lb)
This type of workout scales automatically. A beginner will naturally perform fewer reps than an advanced athlete. However, it is often necessary to scale other aspects of the workout as well. Beginners can modify their burpees and lighten their kettlebell deadlifts. Also, feel free to build in a rest each round. You don’t have to work for the whole minute. A beginner’s version of today’s WOD might look like this:
Scaled 1:
10 minute EMOM:
Minute 1: max effort elevated, no push-up burpees
Minute 2: max effort kettlebell deadlifts (20lb, 15lb)
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:
10 minute EMOM:
Minute 1: max effort step-back burpees
Minute 2: max effort kettlebell deadlifts (35lb, 22lb)
