What’s in Today’s WOD?
Here’s the breakdown of the Holiday Hustle Circuit:
- 30 Pushups: Build upper body and core strength. Keep your back flat and lower your chest to the ground. Modify by dropping to your knees if needed.
- 20 TRX Rows: Engage your back and biceps. Adjust your body angle to make it easier or harder.
- 20 Clean & Press: Combine power and strength. Use dumbbells, kettlebells, or a barbell. Focus on explosive movement and good form.
- 20 Deadlifts: A classic move to strengthen your posterior chain. Opt for lighter weights if you’re new or heavy for a real burn.
- 20 Box Jumps: Get your heart pumping! Step up if jumping isn’t your thing yet.
- 15 Pull-ups: A great challenge for your upper body. Use resistance bands for support or substitute with lat pulldowns.
- 5 Sprints: Dash with all your might for short bursts. If space is tight, high-knee sprints in place work too!
- 100 Jump Ropes: Test your coordination and finish strong. No rope? Mimic the movement for a great cardio blast.
Maximize Your Hustle
Here’s how to get the most out of this workout:
- Warm-Up: Prep your body with dynamic stretches or a light cardio session. Think arm circles, leg swings, or a quick jog.
- Form First: Prioritize technique over speed. It’s better to go slower with proper form than rush and risk injury.
- Modify Smartly: Beginners can reduce reps or swap challenging exercises for easier versions. Advanced athletes? Add weight or increase speed for a greater challenge.
- Cool Down: End with static stretching to prevent soreness and improve flexibility. Focus on hamstrings, shoulders, and back.
