PASSION WORKOUT of THE DAY(WOD)
Experience the Passion WOD!
Good Friday, April 18 – Teams of 3
6:30 am and 10:00 am
One workout. One mission. One powerful message.
Join us at The Well for Passion — a workout designed to challenge your body and speak to your soul.
This WOD isn’t just about reps, cals, and time. It’s a tribute. A physical, mental, and spiritual reflection of the path Jesus walked, the pain He endured, and the life He gave — all wrapped in one unforgettable team workout.
Why 3 person teams?
Luke 23:49
Because Jesus wasn’t alone! Christ Followers and Christ himself was and is always in community. Jesus, in himself, is three in one... we call that the Trinity.
The Workout:
300 Double Unders
John 19:1-2
Jesus was whipped. We all know the pain of being whipped by our Jump Ropes... Jesus’ whip was described as having metal tips which shredded the skin of Jesus with each strike. These are done simultaneously as a buy in for the workout and should NOT be a time to rest. Scale 2:1
150 Assault Bike Calories
John 19:3
Jesus was beaten, verbally mocked, and dressed up. The Assault bike beats us all up. It hurts and oft en leaves us broken. Workout detail: These should be done in 10 cal rotating sprints.
3-Min. Accumulated Overhead Static Hold (each teammate)
Mark 15:16-19
The Crown of Thorns - This movement will give you a bloody head if you aren’t carful. The blood from Jesus’ head came from the mocking of the soldiers and crowd. They dressed him up in “royal” robes and a crown of thorns. As you hold the weight overhead for this time, remember that Jesus held on through struggles as well. Workout detail: These should be done at 70% on your Jerk 1RM (Using 1 barbell, use the weakest athlete’s numbers OR each athlete has their own barbell). Once a teammate drops, the next person must pick up. Each athlete must accumulate 3 minutes of hold each.
1 Mile Walk — with a barbell, sled drag, and kettlebell carry
Luke 23:26
Matthew 27:32
Mark 15:31
Why: It has been estimated that the walk Jesus made with the Cross was about 3 miles. Your team of three will accumulate the 3 miles together. Workout details: Each person will have something to carry:
1. Barbell #135/95 - Part of caring a cross is the weight on your shoulders.
2. Sled Drag #225/185 - Part of caring a cross is also dragging it behind you.
3. Goblet Carry #53/35 - These are the burdens we carry. The sin we bring to the cross. Teams will switch through the items ONLY once . Jesus carried the cross, Simon carried it, and then Jesus drug it some more. Rotating through each of these will give you that experience. Rest as needed along the way.
3-Min. Bar Hang Static Hold (each teammate)
Matthew 27:35-50
Mark 15:22-38
John 19:17-37
Why: This is the remembrance of Jesus on the Cross.
Workout details: Just like the other static hold, once an athlete drops off the bar, the next may go. You will need to keep up with you time so that each teammate accumulates 3 minutes of hang time.
33 Burpee Box Jump Overs
Luke 24:6-7
Matthew 28:1-10
Mark 16:1-9
John 20:1-23
Why: The passion story doesn’t end with death, but life. This last movement takes us from the grave (burpee) to the resurrection (box up over). Jesus is alive today! The resurrection is the grace in the midst of pain. The forgiveness of sin and the promise of an unending life. Workout Details: Each athlete will accumulate 11 reps each. Box height 24/20
The total numbers added up: 490... but why?
Just like Jesus has made a way for forgiveness and restoration. We too must extend forgiveness to the people around us each day.
So, I only have to forgive 490 times? No, the number is just symbolic of a lot! You forgive a lot... daily... everyday, all day. Forgiveness is a life choice and a life well lived.
Bring your team.
Bring your passion.
