Filthy Fifty!
A classic "chipper" from the CrossFit World
Team! Happy Monday!!! This is one of my favs that scares the crap out of you when you see it on the whiteboard and then at the end you realize what a superhero you are! Mindfulness in the moment and strategic pacing of repetitions and movements are the objectives for today. There are modifications for every fitness level! No excuses. Game on! -Carla
This workout is a modification of a classic CrossFit workout called “Filthy Fifty”. It’s a “chipper” designed to get in your head the second you look at it on the whiteboard. This is not only a physical challenge but a mental one as well!
TIPS: Know that this workout will take under 30 min. You can do anything for under 30 min. Take each movement one at a time and stay focused on the movement you are on – NOT on the fact that you have 7 movements to go! Take short breaks as needed, but move efficiently. Use less intense movements as an opportunity to recover and regroup.
Good luck!
