A Chipper WOD is a workout that is completed in the order of
the exercises listed. It is only one
round and is completed for time. Individual
boards were handed out to each athlete with the number of reps listed in descending
order starting with 100 reps, then 90 reps…all the way down to 10 reps. What makes this chipper unique is 10 cards
were handed out to each athlete and they got to choose which exercise went next
to the number of reps.
Here were the 10 exercises:
Singles
Butt kickers
Medball/KB side-to-side (core exercise)
Thrusters
V-ups
Push-ups
Tricep dips
Squats
Mountain climbers
Lunges
Here’s what I like about this workout:
1.
It takes the blame off the trainer for the
difficulty of the workout because the athlete designed it ;)
2.
It forces the athlete to think about the
movements and implement a little strategy into their workout. (Poor Sue, if you can see her board on the
left of the photo above it had 80 squats followed by 70 thrusters followed by
60 lunges, that’s a lot of leg work all in a row! But she got through it! Champ!)
3.
Everyone’s workout is a little bit different and
personalized.
They all started off with 100 singles (very smart)
Mid-wod, everyone in action
