Scaling:
Modify this workout so you can complete several rounds quickly and without rest. It should tax your legs and midline while challenging your overhead flexibility. This is a good opportunity for intermediate athletes to get some exposure to the GHD sit-up, but they should do so with caution and be mindful of its potency.

Intermediate Option:
Complete as many rounds as possible in 12 minutes of:
10 GHD sit-ups
10 left-arm overhead walking lunges
10 right-arm overhead walking lunges

Post time to comments.

Scaling:
Today’s workout is a midline assault. The load of the front-rack walking lunges should be heavy but not unbearable — it may be a grind, but aim to perform all sets unbroken. If you are not consistently on the GHD on a weekly basis, scale the range of motion and/or reps to the Intermediate rep scheme or fewer. If you are completing this workout as prescribed, each set of GHD sit-ups should be unbroken. Because both movements should be unbroken, your transition time can make or break your overall time.
