Bodyweight + Minimal: Snow Much Fun (Time)

4 rounds
50 Air Squats
25 Sit Ups

Athletes Notes

Workout Strategy and Flow

  • Simple couplet but certainly not easy
  • Total of 200 Air Squats and 100 Sit Ups so we have to be wise from the start. Remember scaling is NOT bad. Scaling will help us ensure that we get a similar stimulus and don’t have to rest during the workout more than intended
  • Air Squats – I would recommend going in sets of 25, shaking it out for 3-5 seconds and then go back to work.
  • Sit Ups – slow and steady. Aim to keep moving.

Mayhem Moms

4 rounds
50 Air Squats
25 Quarter Sit Ups or Pelvic Tilts – these are especially good for women who are experiencing coning
