Workout of the Day
AMRAP in 14 minutes:
40 crossovers
30 sit ups
20 overhead squats
We’re bookending this week with tough jump rope skills; many people have found crossovers easier with a drag rope, so give that a shot if you haven’t yet. If crossovers aren’t happening for you, scale to 60 single unders.
If you don’t have the flexibility for overhead squats, drop the bar down to a front squat. Otherwise, pick a weight that lets you finish your 20 reps in no more than 3 quick sets each round.
