Workout Strategy and Flow
- This is a great opportunity to practice getting upside down in the Handstand Walk. If you want, you can spend 30 seconds practicing. Here are great tips from Coach Pamela Gagnon: Handstand Walking Cues & Scaling
- or practice doing a slightly more difficult version of the Bear Crawl. If you’ve never done the low bear crawl as seen in the demo video, practice getting your knees/hips low.
- Box Jump Over – choose a box height you can move quickly through without hesitation.
- Use the rest period to walk around and shake out the legs.
