Strategy and Finish

To maximize your performance in the TMP workout, begin with a moderate pacing during your initial run, focusing on consistent breathing to maintain energy. Each round should smoothly transition between exercises to keep your heart rate elevated, ideally aiming for a time of 60–90 seconds per round. During the burpees, strive for a rhythm that allows you to keep moving, while the push-ups should be done with proper form to prevent muscle fatigue.

How do you perform the TMP workout

Learn how to crush this workout

To perform the TMP workout, begin with a buy-in of a 3,500 meter run, ensuring a steady pace to warm up your body. After completing the run, transition directly into 5 burpees, focusing on explosive movement and maintaining form throughout. Follow this with 10 push-ups, keeping your body straight and lowering your chest to the ground. Then, complete 15 air squats, ensuring your knees track over your toes and your hips drop below parallel.

Once you’ve finished all 21 rounds of this sequence, conclude with a second 3,500 meter run as your cash-out. Stay consistent and pace yourself throughout the workout to maintain energy levels and maximize performance.

How do you scale the workout

The wod "TMP" can be done by everyone

To scale the workout for TMP, consider reducing the running distance to 2,500 meters to accommodate fitness levels. For burpees, perform step-back burpees or reduce the number to 3 per round to maintain intensity.

When scaling push-ups, opt for knee push-ups or incline push-ups to ensure proper form. You may also decrease the reps to 5 per round if necessary.

For air squats, focus on proper depth; use a bench or box for assistance if needed. Reducing reps to 10 per round can help maintain pacing.

Finally, consider adjusting the cash-out run to 2,500 meters to mirror the buy-in and maintain balance in the workout.

How do you score the WOD

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

Your score for the TMP workout is calculated by adding the total number of full rounds completed to any additional repetitions performed after your last full round. Each round consists of a buy-in run followed by prescribed movements.

For example, if you complete 15 full rounds and then do 5 burpees after your last round, your score will be 15 rounds plus 5 additional reps, equating to a total of 180 reps.

What kind of exercises are in the TMP The workout?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
