Ares Freeletics
Pullups, situps and sprints, with one minute of rest per round.
By Jérémie NeubauerCalisthenics, CrossFit and strength training enthusiast for over 15 years
Ares links 7 pullups, 7 situps and a 2 × 40 m sprint, then one minute of rest, five times. The forced rest keeps your pullups clean to the end. You need a bar and 40 metres of space.
The circuit (5 rounds)
60 s of rest at the end of each round, go straight from one exercise to the next.
Tap an exercise each time you finish it. Long-press or “−” to correct.
Tips to nail this WOD
- Do the 7 pullups unbroken as long as you can: that is where the time is won.
- The sprint is an out-and-back over 40 metres: a street workout park with a path is ideal.
- If 35 strict pullups are out of reach, switch to Australian pull-ups.
