Athletes Notes
IMPORTANT NOTE
- If you cannot do the lower end of the target rep numbers (7 in 30 seconds or 5 in 20 seconds) then I would recommend hopping down to the Scaled or Mayhem Moms version of a burpee and scaling to that style for today. REMEMBER: SCALING IS NOT BAD! Scaling makes us better in time!!!!
Workout Strategy and Flow
- We are in a cycle geared towards getting better at burpees. We want to end this cycle with slightly more control over burpees – with our breathing during them and the ability to make them be more of a rest movement instead of a movement that destroys us.
- Burpees – the ultimate opportunity to use my motto of lay down, stand up, jump.
- Today we get to learn more about ourselves. We get to see how hard we can push and how fast we recover before doing it again. We also get to play around with time domains.
- Focus on your breathing!!

TIPS:
- Lay down, stand up, jump. Don’t make burpees more complicated in your mind than that.
- Keep a whiteboard or notes app open on your phone to keep track of reps.
