We've got a hero workout today and it's meant to be very cyclical and smooth consistent movement through each round. There isn't much here to slow us down, so putting that head down and moving is the name of the game. Athletes should aim for about 10 rounds today, meaning we're moving at a pretty sustainable pace and if we have some extra energy in the last 4:00, we should kick it up a notch for at least two more rounds.

There shouldn't be much need for room logistics. Transitions should be easy and smoothe through the whole workout.

“Head, Heart, Hands.” - Jim KwikEvery action originates as a thought in our head. But from there, thoughts of course don’t just materialize into existence in front of us. It doesn’t go “head to hands”. There’s a step between that decides if it’s going to actually happen: heart.
It’s the emotional connection. Our level of buy-in. We could have the most grandiose plan of all time, but if we aren’t bought in with our heart in full… we know it will never work.
It’s less about what we’re doing, and more about why we’re doing it. Our success is less about “which path”, and more about the level of commitment we bring to it.
As we move through our day, let’s consider this concept of Head, Heart, Hands. If we find ourselves struggling with something… a specific career, a relationship, a lifestyle… What is causing it? Are we bought in?
Head, Heart, Hands.
Our reasons are what will reap our results.
