What Is the workout- “Jackie”?
Jackie was first programmed on CrossFit.com on Aug. 3, 2005, and is considered to be a classic benchmark test. It is a workout that looks simple on paper but packs a potent dose in a short timeframe, as the workout design promotes intensity and a fast pace. This workout entails completing 1,000 meters on a rower, followed by completing 50 thrusters with a very light barbell, and then finishing the workout by completing 30 pull-ups.

The highest level athletes will finish this workout in under 6 minutes, while performing a variation of this workout that allows for completion in under 12 minutes is a great goal for all levels of athletes.

This workout primarily challenges cardio-respiratory endurance and stamina, as well as skill-based components of fitness to maximize efficiency and performance.

About the Jackie Workout
Jackie is a task-priority workout. This means the amount of work the athlete completes is fixed, and athletes complete the workout as quickly as possible, while maintaining sound movement mechanics and full range of motion.

With this type of workout, it’s important to note the time required for completion. When repeating this workout, the goal is to perform the workout faster or in a similar timeframe, but with more challenging scales.

This workout can be scaled to meet the current capacity of any athlete… from crossfit.com
