Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a longer effort. Find a pace on the bike you can maintain — avoid coming out hot on the bike and seeing your pace fall off. Sit up tall, breathe, and focus on your cadence. Choose options for the wall-ball shots and the knees-to-elbows that allow you to complete the 60 reps in 5 minutes or less per round. Work hard and have fun!
Scaling:
Reduce the distance on the bike. Reduce the loading of the medicine ball.
To reduce the complexity of the wall-ball shots, consider reducing the height of the target and the weight of the medicine ball. For the knees-to-elbows, reduce the range of motion. Consider performing knees-to-chests or hanging knee raises.
In case of an injury or limitation, consider substituting the bike with an 800-meter run, or 800/1,000 meters on the rower or ski erg. For the wall-ball shots, perform a medicine-ball front squat, dumbbell push press, or light dumbbell thruster. For the knees-to-elbows, perform V-ups or sit-ups.
