Strategy & Pacing:

Pacing Tips:
Rest Periods: Utilize the rest period between Part A and Part B to recover and hydrate. Maintain a steady, controlled pace during the workout to manage fatigue.
Unbroken Sets: Aim to complete synchro movements unbroken or with minimal breaks. For "you go, I go" segments, communicate with your partner to keep transitions quick and smooth.
Transitions: Set up your equipment to minimize transition time. Efficient transitions between exercises will maximize your rest and recovery time.
Coach’s Notes:
Wall Balls: Use your legs to drive the ball up. Keep your core tight and synchronize with your partner for each rep.
Burpees: Keep a steady pace and stay in sync with your partner.
Row/Ski: Use strong, consistent strokes. Change with your partner frequently to combat fatigue.
DB Walking Lunges: Keep your chest up and core engaged. Take long, controlled steps and coordinate with your partner for smooth transitions.
DB Box Step Overs: Step up with one foot, then bring the other foot up. Keep the dumbbells close to your body. You are not required to stand up tall when crossing the box.
Running: Maintain a steady pace and communicate with your partner to stay together.
