Scaling:
Today’s workout keeps the reps low and challenges you to keep moving for the full 10 minutes. Advanced athletes should try to perform a round every 1:00-1:30 and hang on. Less-experienced athletes should aim to complete a round every 2:00. Look to reduce the loading of the dumbbells to something you can perform unbroken reps for the entire workout. Perform the burpees over a single dumbbell (do not stack the dumbbells on top of each other).

Coaching cues:
Does it sometimes feel like your jump rope is getting shorter as you perform double-unders? Check your arms. If your hands move away from your sides, you're bound to trip up. Think about bending your elbows and flicking your wrists down toward the floor.
