Score

  • Score with an emoji today. I wanted to give you more than just a check box so that you could write notes in your score comment section incase you chose to scale. This way you can write down the scaling version you did.

Athletes Notes

Workout Strategy and Flow

  • This is a fun way to spend a Tuesday. We have running coupled with a dumbbell + burpee combo movement.
  • Burpee to Target – the jump at the end of each of these burpees is aiming for height. The target should force you to jump. Remember it can be anything (a door frame, a tree branch, a spot on your wall or a rig if you have access)
  • Burpee Jumping Lunge – the jump at the end of these burpees is transitioning into a jumping lunge. 1 rep is a burpee + jumping lunge on the left leg + jumping lunge on the right leg.
  • You should rest very minimally in the bottom of the burpee position.
  • For the runs, aim to stay at or under 30 seconds for every 100m.

Substitutions

  • Run
    • Option 1) For every Run, complete 30 seconds of running no matter the distance
    • Option 2) For every Run, complete 10 second Run, 10 second walk, 10 second Run

Athletes Notes

Workout Strategy and Flow

  • This is a fun way to spend a Tuesday. We have running coupled with a dumbbell + burpee combo movement.
  • The Single Dumbbell Devil Press is common to see in At Home Scaled and Mayhem Athlete, while the Single Dumbbell Burpee Power Clean is a newer movement.
  • These movements may look very similar but the difference is how the dumbbell finishes. The devil press goes directly from ground to overhead (in 1 fluid motion) while the burpee power clean goes from ground to shoulder in one fluid motion.
  • Whatever dumbbell weight you choose today should allow for steady movement. You should rest very minimally in the bottom of the burpee position.
  • For the runs, aim to stay at or under 30 seconds for every 100m.

Substitutions

  • Run
    • Option 1) For every Run, complete 30 seconds of running no matter the distance
    • Option 2) For every Run, complete 10 second Run, 10 second walk, 10 second Run
    • Option 3) Complete 30 seconds of High Knees or Skipping in Place
