Post time to comments.
Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a couplet with a higher volume of reps in each round. The goal is to maintain a consistent pace throughout both movements and avoid “hitting the wall.” Coming out hot on the burpees does you no good if you end up crawling to the finish line. Aim to complete a single round in 7 minutes or less.
Scaling:
Reduce the reps of both the burpees and the double-unders to hit the stimulus of the workout.
To reduce the complexity of the burpees, perform up-downs. For the double-unders, perform 2-3 minutes of double-under attempts or single-unders.
In case of injury or limitation, perform burpees or up-downs to a raised surface (e.g., a bench or a box). For the double-unders, consider 500 meters on a rower or 1,000 meters on an Echo bike per round.
Intermediate option:
3 rounds for time of:
30 burpees
100 double-unders
Beginner option:
3 rounds for time of:
15 burpees
50 single-unders
Coaching cues:
During the burpees, focus on jumping your feet as close as possible to your hands. This will maximize efficiency and minimize any extra steps or shuffles needed before finishing the rep.
