Odysseus Freeletics
A long ten-round journey of burpees, lunge walk, pushups and sprints.
By Jérémie NeubauerCalisthenics, CrossFit and strength training enthusiast for over 15 years
Odysseus is one of the longest free WODs: ten rounds of 5 burpees, 2 × 20 m of lunge walk, 10 pushups and a 2 × 20 m sprint, with one minute of rest each round. You need 20 metres of space, ideally at the park.
The circuit (10 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
- With ten minutes of rest in total, every round can be done almost all out.
- On the lunge walk, your back knee brushes the floor on every step.
- The sprint is out and back: brake and go again without stopping at the turn.
