WOD – Thu, May 21

Intent

Today’s AMRAP is designed to keep you moving steadily for all 14 minutes. The goal is smooth, sustainable movement rather than getting stuck staring at a kettlebell that’s too heavy.

If the load becomes a major sticking point, it’s too heavy for today’s intent. Reps are intentionally kept lower on most movements so you can stay consistent and avoid long breaks, while the step-ups become the longer, steady-working portion of the workout.

On the step-ups, hold the kettlebell however you’d like in order to keep moving efficiently. Make sure to alternate legs each rep and focus on maintaining a smooth, steady pace from start to finish.
