Athletes Notes

Scoring

  • Our score will be our total time, including rests.

Workout Strategy and Flow

  • Get those leggies ready to rock and roll.
  • The 40 Double Unders or 55 Line Hops should ideally be completed without stopping. We want to get past this pesky buy in so we can get to the part that matters….the Air Squats
  • We should stay moving in the air squats but we also want to be mindful that we will be getting in a high number of air squats today. So while the faster we go, the better time we will have, we don’t want to start out going so fast that our legs burn up and we can’t keep the pace.
  • It will be important to stay moving during the rest, just slowly walking around and focusing on your breathing.

FLOW
0:00 – 1:00 Complete 40 double unders, in the time remaining complete as many air squats as you can.
1:00 – 2:00 Rest
2:00 – 3:00 Complete 40 double unders, in the time remaining complete as many air squats as you can…picking up on the number you last left off on.
3:00 – 4:00 Rest

You will repeat this 1 minute on, 1 minute off until you accumulate 150 air squats.

Yes, if you get to 149 reps and the 60 second clock ends, you have to rest 1 minute, and complete 40 double unders before you can do that final rep. Be aware of the clock the whole time.
