“CFA Anywhere” WOD, July 11, 2024

“CFA Anywhere” – Thu, Jul 11

THURSDAY REMINDER

I often mention this in the Thursday Workout Videos, but in case you’re new:

We offer workouts every Thursday in Mayhem 30 😊. We have done this for people who:
– Missed a different day of the week, but are able to workout today
– Need a travel or hotel-friendly workout on Thursdays
– Want to stay disciplined and show up on Thursdays for 30 minutes.

Remember, if you need rest today, take it! If you prefer an active recovery day, complete this at a low to moderate intensity. Don’t worry about your leaderboard score and maybe even stick to the bodyweight version today.

Feeling fantastic today? Give it your all!

Either way, HAVE A FANTASTIC THURSDAY.

Workout Strategy and Flow

  • LET’S GOOO. I personally love short AMRAPs. It feels like a more attainable time domain to put in the work, knowing rest really is coming soon. haha
  • The first and last AMRAPs are all about cardio and core. We start with burpees and end with burpees.
  • The middle AMRAP will be more of a “pump” session in between. A chance to counter all the pushing of the burpees with some pulling and a change to move through unilateral squat movements. Don’t rush it here. Just stay steady.
