Post time to comments.

Scaling:
Today’s workout is in the short-to-moderate time domain. If you can maintain bigger stretches on the L-sit holds and minimize breaks, you should be close to finishing at the 10-minute mark. To stay within that window, find a variation of the L-sit hold that allows you to consistently hold for 10 to 15+ seconds before breaking. If you can hold your option with ease for 45 seconds to 1 minute, try a more challenging option. The box should be a little taller than you want it to be on the jump-overs, and expect your fatigued hip flexors to make jumping a bit more difficult. Consider stepping down from the top of the box. This is not only a safety concern, it is one way to keep yourself moving at a steady pace.

Scaling:
With a high volume of transitions, this workout requires consistent efforts on the kettlebell and box. Reduce the load of the kettlebell to keep all snatches unbroken and modify the burpee box jump-overs to avoid rest breaks between reps.
