- AMRAP = As Many Rounds (or Reps) As Possible
- Metcon = Metabolic Conditioning
Today's WOD is a 45-Min metcon AMRAP. We build, and we burn. The rep count is low at 10 reps per exercise to keep your momentum high. I want you focused, engaged, sweating, and mentally worn out by the end. This is a simple workout with only six exercises, so no excuses on not giving it everything. I also wanted to write a challenging workout for rosters who have limited equipment.
You'll need:
- One kettlebell (you can also use your ruck in a similar fashion to a KB)
- If you have a choice of KB weights, 25lb+ for under 150lbs, 35lb+ for over 150lbs bodyweight is preferred.
- A jump rope (pretend also works just fine - the goal is an elevated HR)
- A runway of at least 10 feet for lunges
What's the difference between Hard Count and Each Side?
Hard Count is used for unilateral exercises that use one side, like a leg, and then the other. A great example is a Russian Twist where you must twist to both the left and the right to count 1 rep.
Each Side is when you need to complete all the reps on one side before completing all the reps on the other side.
