Stimulus and Strategy:
In today’s workout, the question is: How hard can you push the pace on the bike and still keep moving on the GHD sit-ups and double-unders? One strategy might be to hold a consistent RPM/cadence for each interval, while another strategy may be to increase the pace on the bike as the time goes down. For the GHD and the double-unders, aim to move for as much of the minute as possible.
Scaling:
Reduce the overall time of each movement.
If you are not familiar with or have not been training consistently with the GHD, reduce the complexity of the GHD sit-ups by reducing the range of motion to parallel. For the double-unders, perform single-unders.
In case of an injury or limitation, consider performing sit-ups, V-ups, or hollow rocks for the GHD sit-ups. For the double-unders, consider performing lateral line hops or penguin taps. For the bike calories, complete these on any available machine.
