TARGET SCORE

Target Time each set: sub 3 minutes

Time Cap each set: 5 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS

How to Pace: CHALLENGE pace on this workout. Goal is to try to get at least 2 + minutes of rest. Don’t Sprint, push with a controllable/repeatable pace for multiple sets.

How it should Feel: GASSY! The combo of this triplet does not give your lungs a break. Embrace the suck and enjoy the recovery, it will all be over soon.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW

Bike: Pacing should be around 80%. Definitely don’t want to come out hot here, so focus on a steady cycle rate with a steady breathing pattern. Slow down the last few calories for a smooth transition to the wall balls.

Wall Balls: Unbroken! Don’t think, just do.

Double Unders: depending on your endurance and skill level we would love to see these completed in 1-3 sets tops. Relax your shoulders down and find a smooth rhythm.

Athletes Notes

TARGET SCORE

Target Time: sub 12 minutes

Time Cap: 16 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS

How to Pace: STEADY, this workout is all about being smart with breaking up your sets to avoid muscle failure. Don’t push to that “Oh Crap” stage!

How it should Feel: MUSCLE ENDURANCE! This beach body workout will push your shoulder/arm fatigue to its limits. Break sets up early and take that extra second on the rest. Better to be safe than Sorry on this one.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW

SHSPU/Pull Ups/Push Ups: All 3 of these bodyweight movements separately are generally performed in big/consistent sets. When mixed, they are your upper body’s worst nightmare. Look to keep sets short and sweet with a strategic rest to stay consistent and avoid muscle failure (it will happen).

Leg less Rope Climbs: Take your time here after the arms have been attacked. Jump high and use the scissor kick to haul up the rope.
