Athlete Notes:
Today’s EMOM is another mix of aerobic conditioning and skill work. The first minute isn’t meant to smoke you, but it is meant to get you breathing hard before kicking up into a handstand. Try to maintain the pace on the assault bike, something that is about a 7-8/10 effort and then take 2 breaths before kicking into the handstand. If you’re still learning, this is the time to practice, so use that minute to just get as far as you can. Minute 3 we’re hopping back on the rings and blasting the midline a little bit for a movement that isn’t necessarily the highest skill, but it does increase time under tension in the workout so it’ll keep your heart rate elevated. Max out the double unders in that minute before resting in minute 4.
