Scoring

I wanted to be able to give you a score box so that you can comment any scaling or changes that you made. The score is total time it takes you to complete this with rest. I am giving a 26 minute time cap today to be sure that we are able to finish in the guaranteed 30 minute time (including the warm up). If you have more time allotted and want to take more time today to move, you’re welcome to do so.

Workout Strategy and Flow

  • This is to be completed at moderate intensity. It should be something that you have fun doing, you move well and get a good sweat. Your focus can be a little more on just having fun moving your body since we aren’t racing for a fast time today.
  • Sit Ups – smooth and steady here. Aim for constant movement. Doesn’t need to be a world record sit up time, but we should just try our best to take as few breaks as possible.
  • Hand Release Push Ups – remember this isn’t for speed so we can make these reps look pretty! If you cannot do at least 2 sets of 5 reps, scaling would be ideal.
  • Object Farmers Carry – down 25ft and back 25ft twice will get us there. Aim to hang on for at least 50ft. OR if you need to Mountain Climber
  • Wall Walk – keep in mind that your arms are already going to be fatigued from the hand release push ups. These are only 2 at a time, but be sure you are ready to attack the full rep before starting
  • Full Copenhagen Plank —you should flow right from 1 30 second hold into the other. These are very challenging, especially at the end of a workout. So if you need to scale, check out your options down below.
