Workout Overview

Stimulus

This team workout combines cardio, strength, and coordination. You and your partner will split the rows and runs, switching every 200 meters to keep the pace high. For the push-ups and thrusters, you can work at the same time, each using your own barbell. The key is to communicate and move efficiently through the shared movements—push each other to stay strong and keep the momentum going. The first partner to finish each station can move ahead, so aim to stay synchronized and finish as fast as possible!

The One | Teaching Focus

Keeping the Body Tight in Push-Ups

Today’s focus is on maintaining a tight, engaged body throughout the entire push-up movement. Keeping your body tight ensures proper form, maximizes strength, and reduces the risk of injury. By engaging your core, glutes, and legs, you create a solid plank position that allows for more efficient and effective push-ups. This full-body tension helps you move smoothly as a single unit, improving overall performance.

Look For

  • Row | Intensity should be high for athletes, they are switching in short intervals so we are looking for a hard effort. 
  • Push Ups | Tight midline, the body should move as one unit throughout the reps. 
  • Run | Intensity should be high for athletes, they are switching in short intervals so we are looking for a hard effort. 
  • Thruster | We want to see a tight midline here as well, the chest should stay up throughout the squat.
