How do you scale the workout

The wod "Eileen P" can be done by everyone

To scale Eileen P, start with the buy-in run by reducing the distance to 100 meters or substituting with a row for 200 meters at a light pace.

For front squats, use lighter weights or perform air squats to ensure proper form. Adjust the dumbbell push presses to a manageable weight, around 5-10 lbs, or perform seated shoulder presses.

For kettlebell swings, reduce the weight to 8-12 kg or perform the movement to shoulder height. Modify burpee box jumps to step-ups or do burpees without box jumps.

Decrease wall ball weight or perform wall ball squats without a ball. For push-ups, start on the knees or elevate hands on a box.

Reduce lunges to 30 total or perform static lunges. Finally, scale sit-ups to 30 or perform crunches to accommodate fitness levels.

How do you score the WOD

See if you beat your friends in the wod "Eileen P"

To score the Eileen P. workout, you will calculate the total number of reps completed during the two rounds. Begin by tallying the reps for each exercise performed in the buy-in and cash-out portions.

What kind of exercises are in the Eileen P 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.

  • wall ball

    The wall ball is a classic CrossFit movement that combines a front squat and an explosive throw, targeting your legs, shoulders, and lungs in one fluid motion. It’s a staple in any high-intensity wall ball workout, known for quickly elevating your heart rate.

    In this workout, wall balls build endurance, coordination, and full-body power. Whether you're using a 10 or 20 lb ball, this simple movement delivers serious results — especially when the reps start adding up.

  • 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.

  • Box jump

    The box jump is a plyometric movement that builds explosive power, coordination, and lower body strength. It’s a key component in many high-intensity box jump workouts, often used to develop speed, agility, and stamina.

    In this workout, box jumps challenge your legs, core, and cardiovascular system, while also training quick reaction and balance. Whether performed at a moderate pace or in sprint intervals, the box jump is a powerful tool for improving athletic performance.

  • kettlebell swing

    The kettlebell swing is a powerful hip-hinge movement that builds posterior chain strength, core stability, and cardiovascular endurance. A go-to in any kettlebell swing workout, it’s known for improving explosiveness, grip, and conditioning in one efficient motion.

    In this workout, kettlebell swings train your glutes, hamstrings, and shoulders, while developing rhythm and control. Whether Russian or American style, the kettlebell swing is a versatile tool for both beginners and advanced athletes.

  • front squat

    The front squat is a fundamental strength movement that targets the quads, glutes, core, and upper back. Known for its upright posture and barbell position on the shoulders, it’s a key lift in Olympic lifting and a staple in any front squat workout.

    In this workout, front squats build leg strength, mobility, and posture, while reinforcing a strong core under load. Whether used for volume, tempo, or heavy singles, the front squat is essential for developing power and movement efficiency.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • dumbbell push press

    The dumbbell push press is a powerful overhead movement that combines leg drive and shoulder strength to press the dumbbells overhead. Featured in many dumbbell push press workouts, it improves upper body endurance, core stability, and power output.

    In this workout, dumbbell push presses train your quads, glutes, shoulders, and triceps, making them a great choice for full-body conditioning. Whether performed single-arm or with both dumbbells, the dumbbell push press adds intensity and efficiency to any session.

  • jerk

    The jerk is a powerful Olympic lifting movement that drives a barbell from shoulder to overhead with explosive force. Central to advanced jerk workouts, it typically follows a clean and is executed by dipping and driving the bar overhead—either with a split stance or power stance.

    In this workout, the jerk builds overhead strength, power, and coordination while demanding precision and speed. It trains the legs, core, and shoulders simultaneously, making it an essential movement for athletes looking to improve explosive strength and total-body stability under load.
