Tips and Strategy: Effective communication is key to success in this team workout. As a group, strategize and decide on the number of reps for each movement. Create a clear plan by writing down the movement order and reps so that everyone is on the same page. If you are choosing to do an equal number of reps for each movement, it is 148 reps as a team for each exercise. Organize the exercises in a way that allows for balanced effort, alternating between upper-body, lower-body, and cardiovascular movements. Avoid back-to-back movements that target the same muscle groups to prevent excessive fatigue.

Intended Stimulus: "Team 1776" is designed to be an enjoyable workout that emphasizes teamwork and cooperation. The absence of built-in rest means pacing is crucial. Sprinting through the workout may result in a slower overall time, so maintain a strong and steady pace throughout. After completing the workout, your team should feel a sense of accomplishment, energy, and readiness to celebrate Independence Day!

Scaling Options: For newer athletes or those looking to adjust the intensity, scaling options are available. Modify the movements to suit the skill level of all teammates, ensuring continuous movement without long rest breaks.
