    15 Air Squats
    10 Alternating dumbbell power clean
    5 left arm dumbbell push press
    5 right arm dumbbell push press

    Today’s workout is a little twist on the classic workout “Cindy”. All you’ll need is one dumbbell and twenty minutes on the clock. Be strategic with your rest when you start working through the cleans. Add a break after your ninth clean and transition into the push press right away.

    10 rounds of 90 seconds on 60 seconds off
    10 kettlebell swings
    20 double unders then max calories row or bike

    There is a lot of time on the clock for today’s workout! This format is ten intervals with ninety seconds to work and a full minute to rest between each round. Start with a set of kettlebell swings and then double unders before you move to your rower or bike for a max effort sprint. Scale this workout by using a kettlebell that allows you to get ten swings done in one set for most rounds. If you are new to double unders they can be difficult under fatigue so scale by volume if needed or switch to single unders so you can leave some time on the clock to knock out calories. When it’s all said and done your score will be your total number of calories across all ten rounds. Be sure to make note of which device you used!

    AMRAP in 20 Minutes
    1-2-3-4-5-6-7 …
    burpees
    squat cleans

    Today’s workout is a long duration time priority couplet with a difficult rep scheme and two difficult movements. You’ll start with one rep of each before moving on to two and then three and so on climbing has high as you can in twenty minutes. Those first couple of rounds will feel fairly easy, but buckle up as you get into the double digits. Singles on the squat cleans are probably the best move but small sets could work too if you prefer. Either way do your best to keep moving at a consistent pace!

    AMRAP in 20 minutes
    10 box jumps
    7 hang power clean
    4 thrusters

    It’s the last workout of the year at CFD! Have some fun with this one guys and enjoy every minute! Except maybe the thrusters…those might not be enjoyable:) The thruster weight should be a bit of a challenge today since the rep count is so low. With only four reps every round you should be able to go a little heavier there than what you are used to. Make sure you can do four reps in a row at the beginning of the workout when you are fresh. Breaking the reps up later in the workout is totally ok. Happy New Year CFD! We love you all!!

    Workout of the day

    AMRAP in 12 minutes

    6 push-ups
    6 sumo deadlift high pull

    Today’s workout features small sets of push-ups and a barbell sumo deadlift high pull. The weight on your bar should be light today. Plan to keep the sets of six unbroken throughout a good portion of the workout. Push-ups can be scaled as you normally would but consider bumping up the difficulty if possible since the rep count is low in each round.

    Workout of the day

    5 rounds of 3 minutes on 1 minute off
    3 power cleans
    2 front rack walking lunge steps
    1 front squat

    Workout notes

    Today’s workout is a five round interval workout with three minutes of work and one minute of rest between each round. The rep count for each round is low so you would ideally be moving quickly between movements with only a few moments rest between sets. That means you’ll want to load up your bar to a light weight that you can move quickly. We’ll score this workout like we would score the workout “The Chief”. Count up all of your completed rounds and additional reps for one big total at the end of the workout.

    Workout of the day

    AMRAP in 20 minutes
    10 deadlift
    10 right arm dumbbell push press
    10 left arm dumbbell push press
    10 weighted sit up w/ dumbbell

    Workout notes

    We’re back in action today! You’ll need a dumbbell and a barbell for this workout. This workout is pretty long so be conservative when it comes to choosing your weights. You should be able to knock out the deadlifts in easy sets even when fatigued. After the deadlifts you are tasked with two large sets of push press alternating arms after ten reps. You don’t need to perform all ten reps unbroken but again you should be able to get through the push press in around two sets. For the sit-ups hold the dumbbell at your chest or grab a light plate if that is too difficult.
