Workout Overview

Stimulus

Today's Hero is lower volume, fast sets for ten rounds with required rest between each round. This tells us that each effort should be a little higher effort than if you had to do these rounds straight through without any rest. Runs are fast and work is unbroken, how consistent can you be in the beginning and middle, while saving a little push for the last couple of rounds?

The One | Teaching Focus

Grip the Ground
Hand speed controls the pace 
On the burpees today we’re going to control our cycle rate of our reps by managing our hand speed. The faster the hands get back to the ground each rep dictates the cycle rate. As soon as the hands and chest touch the ground athletes should pop immediately back up.

  2. Focus on full range of motion with athletes getting their chin over the bar and reaching lock out each rep. 
  • Burpee
  1. Landing position. Athletes will benefit significantly from landing with their feet wide and outside their hands.

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.
