Brutal CrossFit Workout

A great way to spice things up at the gym is to try out our Brutal CrossFit workout. CrossFit is a high intensity strength and conditioning program which entails a mix of aerobic, body weight and Olympic weight lifting exercises.

We call this workout the Filthy 50

The Facts: 

This workout is a CrossFit staple which consists of a series of intense exercises that will push you to your absolute limit. The circuit includes 50 reps of different exercise, all of which are done as quickly as possible. 

50 box jumps with a 24 inch box, 50 jumping pullups, 50 kettlebell swings, 50 walking lunge steps, 50 knees to elbows, 50 back extensions, 50 reps of push press with 20kg, 50 burpees, 50 double udners and 50 wall balls using a 10kg medicine ball.

The Brutality:

This workout does quite a good job at conveying the basics and craziness of CrossFit. After my first attempt I only made it to the knees and elbows stage. It's such a challenge because its an intense full body workout that includes cardio. The number of exercises can be daunting, so it's best to start slowly, go at your own pace and focus on the task at hand, not how much more exercises you have to go. You can also modify the amount of reps from 50 down to 20 or 25 if its your first time through the circuit.

Workout Time:

30 minutes
