HR
max = maximum heart rate; bpm = beats per minute; % = percentage; S2 = set 2; S4; set 4; S6 = set 6; S8 = set 8; WOD 1 = G modality CrossFit
® Workout of the Day (“Cindy”); WOD 2 = M modality CrossFit
® Workout of the Day (skip rope double unders); WOD 3 = W modality CrossFit
® Workout of the Day (power cleans).
