Athletes Notes
Score
- Our score for this today is ONLY the max # of air squats we get each set.
Workout Strategy and Flow
- Run – be very smart here. We don’t want to sprint this, and then have to rest a bit before we can start our alternating leg v-ups.
- Alternating Leg V-Up – try your best to hang on and not stop moving. If you need a break, make it quick 🙂
- Air Squats are the main point of this workout. We want to accumulate as many as we can today, however we need to be smart about it. If we move in an unsustainable manner for the first 3 sets, we will likely fall off and not be able to stick with it for the final 2 sets. We should do sets of 15-20 with quick breaks shaking it out and then getting right back to it.
- I want you to have at least 40+ seconds to chip away at the squats. If you do not have 40 or more seconds, then we either need to scale the run or the progression of the alternating leg v-up movement.
FLOW
0:00 – 2:00 Complete a 100m Run, 20 Alternating Leg V-Ups and in the time remaining complete max air squats.
2:00 – 3:00 Rest

Substitutions
- Run –> if you feel like you are “bad” at running, we still want you to run. 🙂 Just focus on running 30 seconds, no matter the distance.
- If you don’t have space to run and the weather won’t allow for running outdoors, then we would suggest doing 30 seconds of High Knees or High Knees to Jumping Jacks
