How do you perform the Yvonne workout

Learn how to crush this workout

To perform the Yvonne workout, start with 76 air squats, ensuring proper form by keeping your chest up and driving through your heels as you rise. Next, transition into 76 dumbbell push presses, using your legs to generate power and locking out your arms overhead.

Follow this with 76 AbMat sit-ups, engaging your core fully as you rise and ensuring a smooth, controlled descent. For the wall ball shots, aim for a target at least 9 feet high for men and 8 feet for women, completing all 76 reps with a squat before each toss.

Move on to 76 burpees, ensuring a full extension at the top and a chest touch on the ground. Continue with 76 med ball twists, keeping your core tight and maintaining balance.

Next, perform 76 push-ups with a strong plank position, followed by 76 kettlebell swings, swinging the weight overhead while using your hips for momentum. Finally, finish with 76 dumbbell thrusters, combining a squat with a press. Conclude the workout with a 400-meter run alongside a partner to enhance teamwork and motivation.

How do you scale the workout

The wod "Yvonne" can be done by everyone

For scaling the workout Yvonne, consider reducing the number of reps for each movement to make it more manageable. Instead of 76 reps, beginners might aim for 30-40 reps per exercise.

Adjust the weight for the dumbbell push presses to something light, like 5-10 lbs, allowing for unbroken sets. Use a lighter kettlebell, approximately 8-12 kg, or perform a reduced range of motion.

For wall ball shots, decrease the weight of the medicine ball to 6-10 lbs. Substitute burpees with an easier variation, like step-backs or even just performing plank holds.

To scale the run, shorten the distance to 200 meters or opt for a brisk walk instead.

How do you score the WOD

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

To score the workout "Yvonne," you will need to count the total number of full rounds completed along with any additional repetitions performed after your last full round.

Each round consists of 76 Air Squats, 76 Dumbbell Push Presses, 76 AbMat Sit-Ups, 76 Wall Ball Shots, 76 Burpees, 76 Med Ball Twists, 76 Push-Ups, 76 Kettlebell Swings, and 76 Dumbbell Thrusters, followed by a 400-meter Run with a partner.

Begin with a steady pace during the run; aim for a comfortable speed that allows you to maintain your breath. Save your energy for the more intense sections that follow.

Transition quickly but smoothly between exercises; set yourself up for the next movement before you finish the current one. This will minimize downtime.

Finally, for burpees and wall ball shots, maintain a steady rhythm, and don’t rush; quality over quantity is key to finishing strong.

What kind of exercises are in the Yvonne The workout?

  • abmat sit-up

    The AbMat situp is a popular core exercise in CrossFit and functional training. Using an AbMat supports your lower back and allows for a full range of motion, helping to strengthen your abs more effectively than traditional sit-ups.

    In this workout, AbMat sit-ups challenge your core endurance, improve midline stability, and balance out more explosive movements like lifts or jumps. Whether you're scaling or RX'ing, the AbMat situp is a simple, powerful tool for 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • dumbbell thruster

    The dumbbell thruster is a full-body movement that combines a front squat and an overhead press, using one or two dumbbells. A staple in many dumbbell thruster workouts, it builds leg strength, shoulder endurance, and cardiovascular fitness all at once.

    In this workout, dumbbell thrusters challenge your coordination, core stability, and pacing, making them perfect for high-rep conditioning or strength endurance. Whether you're using light or heavy weight, the dumbbell thruster delivers maximum intensity in minimal time.
