Georgie - Crossfit Workout

AMRAP 21

65 Sit-Ups
7 Burpees
11 Push-Ups
22 Kettlebell Swings - @24/35 lb

Execution and Focus

The benchmark workout known as "Georgie" consists of an AMRAP 21 format, which includes 21 Sit-Ups, 7 Burpees, 11 Push-Ups, and 22 Kettlebell Swings. This high-intensity interval workout is crafted to test your endurance and mental fortitude as you cycle through movements that engage multiple muscle groups. The sit-ups focus on core strength, while burpees challenge cardiovascular endurance and explosiveness. Push-ups enhance upper body strength, and kettlebell swings target the posterior chain, making it a comprehensive challenge suitable for various fitness levels. The combination of these elements not only builds stamina but also cultivates rhythm and pacing under fatigue for an effective workout experience.

Strategy and Finish

To optimize performance in the "Georgie" workout, begin at a sustainable pace, focusing on maintaining form and minimizing rest between movements. Each round should ideally be completed within 2-3 minutes, allowing you to keep a steady rhythm. Prioritize breaking down movements if needed, but strive for unbroken sets, particularly in the sit-ups and push-ups, to maintain momentum. As fatigue sets in during the kettlebell swings and burpees, ensure you use proper mechanics to maximize efficiency and prevent injury. The final push in the last few minutes can be critical; aim to complete as many rounds as possible, as even a single extra round can significantly impact your final score, especially in the context of a memorial tribute or holiday workout setting.

How do you perform the Georgie workout

Learn how to crush this workout

For the AMRAP 21 workout, start by performing 21 sit-ups. Focus on engaging your core and using your hip flexors to help lift your upper body. Keep your feet anchored or use an ab mat for support.

Next, complete 7 burpees. Begin from a standing position, drop down into a plank, perform a push-up, and then jump back up, reaching your arms overhead as you land. Make sure to maintain a smooth rhythm throughout the movement.

Follow with 11 push-ups, maintaining a straight line from head to heels. Lower your body until your chest nearly touches the ground. Engage your core to prevent sagging hips.

Finally, do 22 kettlebell swings. Use a kettlebell weighing between 35-53 lbs, ensuring you hinge at the hips while keeping your back flat. Drive through your heels to propel the kettlebell to eye level or higher.

How do you scale the workout

The wod "Georgie" can be done by everyone

To scale the AMRAP 21 workout, start by adjusting the sit-up volume; aim for 14-16 instead of 21. For burpees, consider step-backs instead of jumps or reduce the number to 5 per round to maintain intensity without fatigue.

When it comes to push-ups, perform knee push-ups or incline push-ups against a box if needed. For kettlebell swings, scale to a lighter weight of 8-12 kg, or use a dumbbell instead. Alternatively, consider reducing the range of motion to overhead swings only to accommodate different fitness levels.

Finally, beginners might benefit from completing the workout within 10-14 minutes, focusing on quality over quantity to maintain form throughout.

How do you score the WOD

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

Your score for the AMRAP 21 workout, known as Georgie, is determined by the total number of full rounds completed, plus any additional reps of each exercise after your last full round. Each round consists of 21 Sit-Ups, 7 Burpees, 11 Push-Ups, and 22 Kettlebell Swings.

To calculate your score, keep track of how many full rounds you complete within the 21-minute timeframe. For instance, if you finish 5 full rounds and complete an extra 10 Sit-Ups, your score would be 5 + 10 = 15 reps total.

What kind of exercises are in the Georgie 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
