“CFA Anywhere” WOD, October 23, 2024

“CFA Anywhere” – Wed, Oct 23

October 31 Miles Challenge – Day 23 (AMRAP – Reps)

🎃 Challenge: Complete 1 mile every day (walk or run) for 31 days in October!

🗓️ Dates: October 1 – October 31

🏃 How it Works:
– Walk or run 1 mile each day—indoors or outdoors—it’s your choice!
– While you’re welcome to do more, only 1 mile will count per day toward your 31-mile goal.
– Log your mile daily in the app to stay on track and keep your streak alive!* (You’ll be responsible for tallying your total as you go.)

💡 Pro Tip:
Make it part of your daily routine—whether it’s a morning walk, an evening jog, or during lunch breaks. Keep it fun and aim for consistency!

*Score = Reps (1 Rep = 1 Mile)

Athletes Notes

This is not an AMRAP where you are trying to get as many rounds as possible in seven minutes because you move fast. This is about using 7 minutes to try to get through as much as you can with quality and form.

Bodyweight Metcon
Bodyweight: Strength (Checkmark)

3 sets (1 set every 3 minutes)
10 Tempo Single Arm Towel Rows or Single Arm Banded Bent Over Rows @30X1 (each)

Athletes Notes

Demo Videos

  • Single Arm Towel Row
  • Tempo Explanation: Starting with the arm fully extended, row it up then take 3 seconds to lower yourself back to full extension, as soon as you gets to the bottom extension, EXPLODE back up to the top of the row, only pausing for 1 second before repeating.
  • Be sure that you keep your lat and core engaged. Even though you are only using 1 arm, we don’t want to be leaning towards one side or the other, but rather still be straight forward.

Athletes Notes

Workout Strategy and Flow

  • This will be a FAST one!!! You’re gonna blink and it’s over. Transitions are going to be key here. How quickly can you go from the snatch into the goblet hold position.
  • The biggest focus here is that these are two different movement patterns. The X-Jumps no jumps are a HINGING movement, sending the hips back while the Air Squats are obviously a squatting movement pattern which your hips move down! Just be mindful of this while going back and forth between these movements.

Athletes Notes

Workout Strategy and Flow

  • This will be a FAST one!!! You’re gonna blink and it’s over.
  • Dumbbell weights should allow for Unbroken across the board. Transitions are going to be key here. How quickly can you go from the snatch into the goblet hold position.
  • Single Dumbbell Hang Snatch – explosive hips will help make that dumbbell float up and overhead. Before the workout starts, its a good idea to practice the transition from the left hand to the right hand because every second will count in this workout.
  • Dumbbell Goblet Squat : you’re going to feel the burn in your shoulders here as you keep this dumbbell in that goblet position. Going from the snatch directly into the goblet squats will do that. All of these should be capable of being done unbroken. If you need to break the 15s into two quick sets, that’s fine but everything else should be without stopping.

Mayhem Moms

No modifications. Switch to bodyweight if needed!
