Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout contains some interval grunt work. The goal is to get through the row and the box jumps quickly and give yourself as much time as possible for the farmers carry. Remember, your score is the total distance you carried the dumbbells at the end of 5 sets. Choose options that allow you to have at least 45 seconds to accumulate distance with the farmers carry. Hang on to those dumbbells.
Scaling:
Reduce the load of the dumbbells. Reduce the calories on the rower and the height of the box.
To reduce the complexity of the box jumps, perform step-ups. For the farmers carries, consider using one dumbbell.
In case of injury or limitation, perform the calories on any machine available. For the dumbbell farmers carries, consider hanging from a pull-up bar.
