Coaching Tips
Strategy
- 1Maintain a steady pace; avoid starting too fast to conserve energy for all rounds.
- 2Break movements into manageable sets, e.g., 10-5 for Air Squats, 8-7 for Burpees, or 10-5 for Hand Release Push-Ups if fatigue sets in.
- 3Keep transitions quick between movements to minimize downtime, especially between rounds.
- 4Focus on maintaining proper form throughout each movement to prevent injury, especially in fatigue.
- 5Pay attention to a consistent breathing pattern; exhale on exertion.
