How do you perform the Wallin workout

Learn how to crush this hero workout

To perform the Wallin hero workout, begin with a 1,050 meter run, focusing on maintaining a steady pace throughout. Ensure your running form is efficient to conserve energy for the later exercises.

Next, transition to 7 single dumbbell box step-overs. Use a dumbbell that feels challenging but manageable. Step onto the box with one foot, driving through the heel to lift your body over, then repeat on the other side.

After completing the step-overs, move into 14 air squats. Keep your chest up and push your hips back as you descend, ensuring your knees track over your toes.

Finish the round with 23 burpees. Perform each burpee with focus, ensuring you jump high enough at the top to maximize your effort. Repeat this sequence for a total of 3 rounds for time.

How do you scale the workout

The hero wod "Wallin" can be done by everyone

Scale the run distance to 800 meters or consider a brisk walk for beginners to reduce intensity. For the Single Dumbbell Box Step-Overs, use a lighter dumbbell or perform step-ups without the weight. An alternative is to reduce the height of the box to make the movement more accessible.

For Air Squats, focus on depth and form; if necessary, perform squats to a target like a bench to ensure proper mechanics. Alternatively, reduce the reps to 10 per round to maintain form while still getting a solid workout.

When it comes to Burpees, modify by stepping back instead of jumping or performing incline burpees against an elevated surface to lessen the strain. Beginners can also reduce the total to 2 rounds for a manageable experience.

How do you score the WOD

See if you beat your friends in the hero wod "Wallin"

Your score for the Wallin workout is calculated based on the number of full rounds completed, plus any additional repetitions performed after finishing the last full round. Each round consists of a 1,050 meter run, 7 single dumbbell box step-overs, 14 air squats, and 23 burpees.

To determine your score, you need to track the completion of each round. Once you finish a round, note the additional reps completed after your last full round. For instance, if you complete 3 full rounds and finish 5 burpees after that, your score would be 3 rounds + 5 burpees, resulting in a total of 75 reps.

Be sure to keep a stopwatch handy for the run, and enjoy the intensity of this challenging workout!

What kind of exercises are in the Wallin hero workout?

  • Burpee

    The burpee is a simple, full-body movement that combines a squat, plank, and jump into one explosive exercise. It’s a staple in nearly every burpee workout thanks to its ability to build cardio endurance, coordination, and mental toughness — fast.

    In this workout, burpees spike your heart rate, challenge your engine, and require no equipment. Whether you're doing them over a bar, onto a target, or just flat out, burpees are a true test of grit and conditioning.

  • air squat

    The air squat is a fundamental bodyweight movement that builds lower body strength, mobility, and endurance. As a key component of many air squat workouts, it targets the quads, glutes, hamstrings, and core—all without equipment.

    In this workout, air squats help develop proper squat mechanics, balance, and muscular stamina, making them perfect for warm-ups, high-rep conditioning, or scaling strength-based movements.

  • running

    Running is one of the most effective ways to build cardiovascular endurance, leg strength, and mental toughness. A foundational element in many running workouts, it adds intensity and pacing challenges to both short sprints and longer distances.

    In this workout, running boosts your engine, footwork, and recovery capacity, especially when paired with strength or skill-based movements. Whether you're hitting meters or minutes, running is essential for building a well-rounded fitness base.
