How do you perform the Beana workout

Learn how to crush this workout

To perform the AMRAP 42 workout, begin with 35 calories on the Air Bike. Push your pace to maximize calorie burn with each pedal stroke, maintaining good form throughout the ride.

Transition to 29 Air Squats, ensuring your hips drop below parallel, with your chest upright. Drive through your heels to return to standing while engaging your core.

Next, complete 17 Push-Ups, keeping your body in a straight line from head to heels. Lower your chest to the ground, then push back up with full extension.

Proceed with 9 Burpees, jumping explosively at the top to maximize your effort. Follow with 7 Sit-Ups, using your core to lift your torso toward your thighs.

Finish with 3 Pull-Ups, focusing on controlled movement. Use a firm grip and engage your back muscles for efficient pulls.

How do you scale the workout

The wod "Beana" can be done by everyone

Reduce the calorie count on the Air Bike to 20–25 for a more manageable effort. Adjust the Air Squats to a box squat or limit the range of motion to ensure proper form.

For the Push-Ups, consider using knee variations or perform them on an elevated surface to decrease the intensity.

Burpees can be modified to a step-back version or by limiting the jump at the end. If the Sit-Ups are challenging, switch to an anchored sit-up or reduce to a crunch.

For the Pull-Ups, use bands for assistance, perform jumping pull-ups, or lower the number to 2–3 per round. This scaling ensures you maintain form while still pushing your limits.

How do you score the WOD

See if you beat your friends in the wod "Beana"

Your score for the AMRAP 42 workout, also known as Beana, is calculated by counting the total number of full rounds you complete along with any additional repetitions of the exercises after your last full round.

The workout consists of 35 calories on the Air Bike, 29 Air Squats, 17 Push-Ups, 9 Burpees, 7 Sit-Ups, and 3 Pull-Ups. Each time you cycle through the series of exercises, you complete one round.

For instance, if you manage to complete 8 full rounds and then finish 20 Air Squats and 5 Push-Ups in your last round, your score would be 8 rounds + 20 + 5 = 33 total repetitions.

Here is how to gain an edge in the "Beana"

Begin at a controlled pace; avoid sprinting through the initial rounds to maintain endurance throughout the workout. Focus on efficient transitions between exercises to save valuable time. Aim to perform air squats with proper form, ensuring depth to maximize effectiveness while minimizing fatigue.

For push-ups, maintain a steady rhythm, breaking them into sets if necessary to avoid total failure. During burpees, use an explosive motion to conserve energy, and keep your core engaged for sit-ups to enhance overall performance.

When tackling pull-ups, utilize quick, powerful pulls and consider using a band if necessary. Remember to breathe steadily, allowing oxygen to fuel your movements and sustain your energy for the entire AMRAP.

What part of your body is being challenged in the "Beana"

The AMRAP 42 workout, known as Beana, aims to improve cardiovascular endurance, muscular stamina, and overall functional fitness. This combination of movements requires participants to maintain a steady pace while managing their energy over an extended duration.

Who are we honoring with the Workout "Beana"

Why are we doing the "Beana" workout?

The workout "Beana" is dedicated to honoring the memory of Beana, a beloved member of the fitness community. Her spirit and dedication to health and fitness inspired many around her.

Beana's enthusiasm for pushing limits and encouraging others to embrace their potential serves as the foundation for this workout. Each element, from the Air Bike to the Pull-Ups, reflects her relentless pursuit of excellence.

What kind of exercises are in the Beana The workout?

  • sit-up

    Sit-ups are a classic core exercise where the athlete moves from a lying position to an upright seated position, engaging the abdominal muscles throughout. A common feature in sit-up workouts, this foundational movement builds endurance and strength in the front of the core.

    In this workout, sit-ups target the rectus abdominis and hip flexors, improving trunk flexion and midline control. They’re easy to scale, require minimal space, and can be performed for reps, speed, or volume—making them a versatile choice for conditioning and core development.

  • 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.

  • Pull up

    The pull-up is a foundational bodyweight movement that builds upper body strength, focusing on your back, shoulders, arms, and core. A staple in almost every pull-up workout, it's key for developing gymnastics capacity and functional pulling power.

    In this workout, pull-ups challenge your grip, coordination, and endurance — especially under fatigue. Whether strict, kipping, or butterfly, the pull-up remains one of the most effective and scalable exercises in CrossFit.

  • push up

    The push-up is a foundational bodyweight movement that strengthens the chest, shoulders, triceps, and core. A staple in any push-up workout, it’s effective, scalable, and requires no equipment — making it perfect for all fitness levels.

    In this workout, push-ups develop upper body endurance, stability, and control, especially under fatigue. Whether performed strict, hand-release, or elevated, the push-up is a timeless movement that builds strength and resilience.

  • 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.
