How do you perform the Jennica workout

Learn how to crush this workout

Begin with a buy-in of 32 walking lunges, stepping forward and keeping your core engaged. Maintain a straight posture as you alternate legs to warm up effectively.

Once completed, move into 5 burpee box jumps, ensuring you explode upwards and land softly on the box. Use a sturdy box that’s about 24 inches high for men and 20 inches for women.

Next, perform 27 ground-to-overheads, utilizing a barbell or kettlebell. Ensure you maintain proper form, lifting it from the ground to overhead in one smooth motion.

Then, jump onto the rowing machine and row for 87 calories, pushing yourself to maintain a steady and fast pace. After reaching your calorie goal, you’ll need to repeat the ground-to-overheads and burpee box jumps before finishing with another 32 walking lunges.

Remember, the entire workout must be completed within a time cap of 32 minutes.

How do you scale the workout

The wod "Jennica" can be done by everyone

Scale the buy-in of 32 Walking Lunges to 16 lunges if needed or perform them with shorter range of motion. For Burpee Box Jumps, step up instead of jumping or lower the box height. Reduce Ground-to-Overheads by using a lighter weight, aiming for 10–15 reps, or focus on a manageable version like kettlebell swings. The rowing portion can be modified by reducing calories to 60–70, or consider a substitute like airdyne or elliptical for lower impact.

Repeat the modified movements as per your capacity, and feel free to adjust the total workout time to 20–25 minutes. Remember to prioritize form and safety to avoid injury.

How do you score the WOD

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

Your score for the benchmark workout called Jennica is calculated by counting the total number of full rounds completed, along with any additional repetitions of the last round after reaching the time cap of 32 minutes.

Each round consists of a buy-in of 32 walking lunges, followed by 5 burpee box jumps, 27 ground-to-overheads, and 87 calories on the rower. After the row, repeat the ground-to-overheads and burpee box jumps before finishing with another 32 walking lunges.

Total your completed rounds and any additional reps performed in the final round to determine your overall score. For example, if you complete 3 full rounds and finish with 10 burpee box jumps, your total score would be 3 rounds + 10 = 146 reps total.

What are the tips and strategy to use

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

Begin your workout with a focused mindset; approach the lunges with controlled movements to maximize efficiency. Aim for a steady pace during the burpee box jumps, focusing on landing softly to avoid fatigue.

For the ground-to-overheads, utilize your legs to power the lift, keeping your core tight to prevent injury. Break the sets into manageable chunks if needed, and don’t hesitate to lower the weight if your form suffers.

During the rowing segment, find a rhythm that allows you to maintain power without burning out too quickly. Remember to keep hydration close by and stay mindful of your time as you approach the buy-out lunges.

Keep pushing through to the end, and remember that consistency is key to your overall performance.

What kind of exercises are in the Jennica The workout?

  • Row Erg

    Rowing is a low-impact, full-body movement that builds cardiovascular endurance, leg drive, and pulling strength. It’s a staple in many CrossFit workouts because it trains both aerobic capacity and muscular coordination.

    In this rowing workout, each effort helps develop power output, pacing control, and total-body stamina — all while being easy on the joints. Whether you're sprinting for calories or pacing for meters, rowing is one of the most effective tools for conditioning.

  • 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.

  • burpee box jump

    The burpee box jump combines two high-intensity movements — a full burpee and a jump onto a box — making it a full-body challenge that builds power, coordination, and endurance. Common in many high-volume burpee box jump workouts, it’s a surefire way to test both your engine and mental grit.

    In this workout, burpee box jumps elevate your heart rate, explosiveness, and agility, all while demanding sharp focus and strong pacing. Whether done for rounds, reps, or time, this movement is a true conditioning classic.

  • ground to overhead

    The ground-to-overhead movement trains your ability to lift a weight from the floor all the way to a locked-out position overhead — using any technique, such as a snatch, clean and jerk, or clean and press. It’s a versatile choice in any ground to overhead workout, combining full-body strength, speed, and coordination.

    In this workout, ground-to-overhead challenges your posterior chain, shoulders, and core, while allowing flexibility in how you move the load efficiently. It’s perfect for functional fitness, especially when time and intensity matter.
