Workout Notes


Ok this format is a little tricky! Let’s break it down. The first thing to note is that this workout is 3 Rounds. Each Round will be a 3min AMRAP, followed by a 1min rest. So what is an AMRAP? AMRAP stands for As Many Rounds/Reps As Possible. This means that we will set a timer (in this case, 3min) and for the duration of that timer, we will continue cycling through the work as many times as we can. When the timer ends, you’ll start your 1min Rest.


The final tricky piece of today’s puzzle is that for the duration of the AMRAP, we have an ascending rep scheme. That means that each time you start the clock (for each round,) you’ll start with 2 Box Jumps, then 2 Squat Thrusts, then 4 Box Jumps, then 4 Squat Thrusts. Then 6 and 6, 8 and 8, etc. climbing as high as possible before the 3min timer is up. Each time you start a new round, start BACK at the beginning! : )


Box Jump Modifications


The video for this movement covers many options, including not having a box at all!


Squat Thrust Modifications


The Squat Thrust is a simple movement, but for some folks, it can be slow moving. Since today’s AMRAP’s are so short, we want to make sure we aren’t using up all of our time on these Squat Thrusts. If you are in the “slow and steady” camp, cut the reps in half! Instead of climbing 2-4-6 like the box jumps, climb 1-2-3. If you’re on the other side of the spectrum, you can amp it up by turning these into burpees!



Optional Accessory Work


Accumulate 1-2min in your toughest version of a Hollow Hold.


Cool Down


1-2min of Forward Folds (on each leg, if necessary)

1–2min of Chest Stretches on Each Side
