Short on time? Here are a few great WODs you can do when you only have 10-20 minutes!
WOD at Home is a well thought out program that provides you with the WODs in a sequential manner in order to see the best results and provide the most gains in your personal fitness. However, we all know that some days you just don’t have the time for a full work-out. We hope that these “Quickie WODs” will help you fill those gaps on the days you are pressed for time. As with all WODs from WOD at Home, video instruction links, scaling options, and equipment substitution ideas are included for you!
