To get the most out of Whiskey WOD #006, here are some tips:
- Warm up properly: Spend 5-10 minutes doing light cardio and dynamic stretches to prepare your body for the intensity ahead.

- Stay hydrated: Keep water nearby and take small sips during rest periods.
- Listen to your body: While it’s great to push yourself, know your limits. Take breaks if needed and gradually increase intensity as you build strength and endurance.
