This WOD blends a mix of punches, cleans, and thrusters to get your heart racing while building functional fitness. You’ll feel the burn, but the results will be oh-so-sweet!
Workout Breakdown:
Each exercise in this WOD is performed in descending reps, finishing off with a grueling bear crawl lap to wrap it all up. Here’s what’s on deck:
- 100 Straight Punches
Feel the power in every punch. Quick, strong jabs to keep your heart rate up and your arms burning. - 50 Crunches
Strengthen your core with these crunches. Focus on contracting your abs with each rep for maximum impact. - 40 Double Cleans (Kettlebells or Dumbbells)
Engage your whole body as you clean those weights up. This is a full-body strength movement that works your legs, core, and shoulders. - 30 Guard Punches
Get in your fighting stance and throw 30 quick punches from your guard. Keep your hands high, and stay light on your feet. - 20 Box Jumps
Explosive power time! Jump onto a box or sturdy surface to engage your legs and core. - 10 Double Kettlebell Thrusters
A full-body powerhouse! Squat low and press those kettlebells overhead in one smooth motion. This will test your strength and endurance. - 5 Burpees
Just 5—but they’re no joke. Burpees will get your heart pumping and engage every major muscle group. - 1 Lap Bear Crawl (with Ball)
Finish strong with a bear crawl lap, keeping a ball between your legs or hands. This is the ultimate test of your grit and determination!
Tips for Success:
- Focus on Form: Keep your punches tight and your cleans powerful. For box jumps, land softly to protect your knees.
- Pace Yourself: With 100 punches and 50 crunches to start, don’t burn out too early. Maintain a steady rhythm so you can crush the entire workout.
- Breathe: Proper breathing will help you push through those kettlebell thrusters and burpees.
