The One | Teaching Focus

Full range of motion

In our air squats we are looking to hit full depth on the squat, while fully extending the hips at the top of each rep.

In the sit ups we want to be sure athletes are touching the shoulder blades to the ground, and crossing the hips with the shoulders at the top.

For the box jumps we are looking for athletes to stand all the way up on the top of the box. Shoulders, hips and knees should all be locked out.

Look For

Sit Ups | Look for athletes to have controlled breathing as they do their sit ups. We can use this as a recovery movement if we control our heart rate.
Air squats | We want athletes pushing the knees out over the toes as they move through reps.
Box jumps | Encourage a soft land on the box, this will allow us to conserve energy and stay moving.
Bike | We want a consistent pace on the bike today. This will allow us to recover from the other movements.
