TAKE OUT THE GIRLS
We all know them, we all love them. The benchmark girls. These bodyweight WODs can be done without any equipment – It´s just you and your body. You only need a bar or branch for Pull Ups, which is easy to find at any keep-fit trail or park, so these are perfect WODs for completing outside.
At first glance, these seem to be easy because they only consist of body weight exercises, but everyone who has tried them before knows that this is a lie. Go hard and they will push you to your limits!
WHY ARE THEY NAMED AFTER GIRLS?
‘According to the National Weather Service the use of short, distinctive given names in written as well as spoken communications is quicker and less subject to error than more cumbersome identification methods, so since 1953 storms have been assigned female given names […] The convenience and logic inspired our granting a special group workouts women´s names…’¹
