Transition directly into jumping jacks, aiming for quick, controlled movements while keeping your arms and legs fully extended. This helps maintain your heart rate and engages your overall body.

For the medicine ball cleans, aim for a count of 9 on the first round, 7 on the second, and 5 on the third, adjusting your efforts accordingly as you progress through the rounds, pushing your limits while maintaining good form.

How do you scale the workout

The wod "The Fredo" can be done by everyone

For The Fredo workout, consider reducing the weight of the medicine ball to a manageable level, such as 6-8 kg for beginners, ensuring you can perform 9 unbroken cleans. If needed, reduce the number of rounds or perform 5-3-1 instead of 9-7-5 for more accessible scaling.

When it comes to jumping jacks, if jumping is challenging, modify them to step jacks or side steps to maintain the movement without the impact.

Moreover, beginners might want to set a time cap of 15-20 minutes to complete the workout. Adjust the reps accordingly to match your fitness level, aiming for a manageable intensity throughout.

How do you score the WOD
