Athletes Notes
Workout Strategy and Flow
- No built in rest in this workout. 3 rounds straight through.
- Line Hops – keep your mind focused. Try to only take 1-2 breaks max within the 100 reps.
- Strict Sit Up – these are challenging. Remember arms are crossed and legs are straight. NO momentum is being used. All core.
- Air Squats – steady!!! I believe you can do 30 reps without stopping. If that is a stretch, take a planned break at 15 for a quick leg shake out before continuing to final 15.
Substitution
- Strict Sit Ups –> try to do a challenging version of a sit up for you. Maybe that is Straight Leg Situp , maybe that is Sit Ups

Athletes Notes
Workout Strategy and Flow
- No built in rest in this workout. 3 rounds straight through.
- Double Unders – alright, so your double unders gotta be on today….if you trip up more than 2 times within the 100 reps, I would recommend finishing with crossovers or single unders (whatever you feel more confident doing)
- Strict Sit Up – these are challenging. Remember arms are crossed and legs are straight. NO momentum is being used. All core.
- Dumbbell Front Squats – keep the elbows high and core tight. The weight you select should be something you could do 15 unbroken at when fresh. You don’t have to do that for this workout, but keep that in mind when selecting weights.
Substitution
- Double Unders –> either 100 Crossovers – Single Under OR 150 Single Unders each round.
- Strict Sit Ups –> try to do a challenging version of a sit up for you. Maybe that is Straight Leg Situp , maybe that is Sit Ups
