Workout Overview

Stimulus

Today's piece should immediately get us thinking about how we want to pace and where we want to recover our breathing and heart rate during our work. One minute of rest is not much time so we need to be careful not to come out too hot, while not coming out so slow that we will not make it under the time cap. A delicate balancing act from start to finish!

Look For


Run | Arm Swing.

Arms should swing naturally in coordination with the opposite leg. Elbows should be bent at approximately 90 degrees. Hands should be light and relaxed, not clenched.

Abmat Sit ups | Range of Motion.

Cue athletes to touch their shoulder blades to the ground and to have their shoulders pass through their hips each rip.

Rope Climb | Sequence.

Provide plenty of cueing to encourage the proper sequence of action on the rope climb with the reach, tuck, clamp, stand.

Mindset

“Intention drives behavior.”

If we were to walk into the grocery store with a list of eight items to purchase, we'd be there for 10 minutes.If we were to walk into the grocery store without a list, we end up walking the aisles for 30 minutes, and find ourselves staring at a box of Twinkies in the dessert aisle.

Our behavior is what is going to define our success. And it is no different than the grocery list in our pocket. Line items of decisions and principles that we choose.

Intention is everything.
