STIMULUS
- Overview: This fast-paced, high-effort interval workout alternates between core, gymnastics, and conditioning. Each AMRAP starts with a buy-in of toes to bar or wallballs, then finishes with a burpee sprint.
- Choose reps/weights/variations that allow you to complete the toes to bar and wallballs in 0:45 or less, giving you equal time for burpees each round.
- Burpees to Target: Reach a full chest-to-ground position at the bottom of your rep and jump to reach a target just out of fingertip reach with both hands. These are typically performed under a pull-up bar, jumping up to touch the bar as your target. However, if a bar is not available, you can perform your burpees parallel to a wall, jumping up to touch the wall with the hand closest to the wall.
- Intended Intensity: RPE 7-8
- Target Loading: Light-Moderate
- Fitness Attributes Improved: VO2 Max & Muscular Endurance
- Target Score: 50-100 Burpees
STRATEGY
- Treat each AMRAP like a sprint, but stay smooth through the buy-in movement to preserve energy for the burpees. Aim to finish the toes to bar or wallballs in 1-2 quick sets.
- Focus on deep breaths during your rest to bring your heart rate down.
