Why This Workout Is Medium
Hero WOD (AMRAP). 30 mins: swim, push-ups, squats. Tests swimming endurance/basic bodyweight endurance. Difficulty depends heavily on swimming proficiency.
Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Endurance (7/10): AMRAP in 30 minutes of 50m swim, 10 push-ups, 15 air squats. The swim is the primary cardiovascular challenge, repeated many times. The long duration tests overall endurance, especially if swimming is efficient.
- Stamina (6/10): Swimming tests full-body muscular endurance. Push-ups (pushing stamina) and air squats (leg stamina) are relatively low rep per round but accumulate over 30 minutes.
- Speed (5/10): Swimming speed and quick transitions between movements are key for maximizing rounds. Consistent pacing is important for the 30-minute duration.
- Flexibility (3/10): Requires shoulder mobility for swimming strokes. Basic mobility for push-ups and squats.
- Power (3/10): Powerful strokes in swimming contribute to speed. The WOD is more about sustained aerobic effort.
- Strength (2/10): Minimal maximal strength required. Swimming relies on technique and specific strength. Push-ups and squats test relative bodyweight strength endurance.
Modality Profile
