Strategy & Tips

Loredo is a high-volume bodyweight Hero WOD. With 6 rounds, the accumulated fatigue in your legs becomes the primary challenge.

  • Squats and lunges will accumulate—don't start too fast
  • Push-ups are sandwiched between leg work—break early if needed
  • The runs provide some leg recovery—use them wisely
  • All bodyweight means you can't hide behind scaling weight
  • 144 squats, 144 push-ups, 144 lunges, and 2400m running total

Pacing

Steady and consistent. Each round should take roughly the same time. If round 1 takes 4 minutes, aim for 4 minutes through round 6.
