Workout context

History of Jackie.

Jackie is a classic Girl WOD benchmark that tests rowing power, thruster endurance, and pull-up capacity in a fast sprint format. Named in the CrossFit tradition, it's a favorite for testing overall fitness.

Progression path

Build the base. Scale with purpose. Improve your time.

The goal is not to force the same version of the WOD on every athlete. It is to keep useful training exposure while you build toward better benchmark performances.
