Today’s WOD (workout of the day) contains a lot of kettlebell swings and mountain climbers, 150 of each to be precise. Both of these movements test your cardiovascular system, so focus on keeping your breathing steady, and remember: it gets easier every round!
If you are an experienced athlete and feel capable, please perform the following WOD as prescribed (Rx):
Rx:
For time:
50-40-30-20-10:
American kettlebell swings (53lb, 35lb)
Mountain climbers (Each leg counts as one rep.)
A beginner can scale the number of repetitions in this WOD to make it more accessible. I also suggest that beginners pick a lighter kettlebell and perform Russian, rather than American, kettle swings. A beginner’s version of today’s workout could look like this:
Scaled 1:
For time:
50-40-30:
Russian kettlebell swings (20lb, 15lb)
Mountain climbers (Each leg counts as one rep.)
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:
For time:
50-40-30-20-10:
American kettlebell swings (35lb, 22lb)
Mountain climbers (Each leg counts as one rep.)
