Workout Goals: Complete as many rounds as possible with efficient transitions and a steady pace. Focus on maintaining form and pushing through each movement with determination.

Pacing Tips:

• Rest Periods & Unbroken Sets: Take quick, strategic breaks between exercises. Aim to complete movements unbroken or with minimal breaks to avoid breaking momentum. Smooth is fast.

• Transitions: Set up your equipment close together to minimize transition time. Move quickly but smoothly between exercises.

Coach’s Notes:

• Box Jump Overs: Stay low when transitioning over the box to reduce the time needed to complete each rep and conserve energy.

• Bar Muscle Ups: Focus on a strong kip and a smooth transition over the bar. If scaling, ensure full range of motion for Pull-Ups.

• Burpees: "Slow and steady" wins the race. Just keep moving.

• Double Unders: Stay relaxed and keep the jump rope handles close to your body. Use quick wrist movements to turn the rope efficiently.
