AMRAP10 or AMRAP20

  • 10/10 Swings
  • 10/10 Renegade Rows
  • 10/10 Step Ups
  • 5/5 Power Over
  • 5 Push Press
  • 10 Roll Outs (alt. 5 Inch Worm)

AMRAP = As Many Repetitions As Possible (or As Many Rounds As Possible)

10/10 = 10 reps per arm or leg or side (10 left and 10 right)

Choose a pair of dumbbells or kettlebells you can use for all movements. Try to go heavy. I would take a pair of 32 kg kettlebells.

Start Running Today

If you have never run before, start with walking for 2-3 weeks, except for the Sprints. Then move on to a very slow jog for 2-3 weeks, before attempting to run. Your tissues need to adept to this new movement and the adaption takes 6-8 week. So better start slow than risking an injury.

Day A

  • 40′ Easy Run or Run/Walk

Choose a pace you can comfortably hold for way longer than 40 min.

Day B

  • 5′ Easy Run/Walk
  • 30 sec All Out Run/Sprint
  • 5 Rounds

Day C

  • 40′ Easy Run or Run/Walk

Choose a pace you can comfortably hold for way longer than 40 min.
