Intermediate Option:
Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
5 chest-to-bar pull-ups
10 push-ups
15 single-leg squats to a box, alternating
*After every 3 rounds, run 400 meters

Scaling:
Reduce the load on the back squat to allow you to keep moving for the full 20 seconds. For the L-sit, find a variation with which you can perform at least a 20-second hold. For the ring rows, find a foot position that allows you to complete 10 consecutive reps. Moving the feet farther away will increase the difficulty. If you are unable to kick up to a handstand, select a modification that allows you to develop strength in an inverted position.
