• Super fun interval workout today. We will be going hard out for a 2 minute stretch each time. This means FAST pace. faster than you probably want to move! You do get 2 minutes rest in between each round.
• This isn't necessarily just a Handstand Push-Up workout. The rowing calories need to be had hard and you need to get after them. Sometimes we can get distracted by the more fancy movements (in this case the "HSPU"). Don't shy away from the hardship of these rowing intervals. It will hurt yes, but you will be ok.
• When it does come to those Handstand Push-ups choose a scale option if needed to ensure you get at least 6-8 out every time. Stay safe when you're upside down. Kipping can be had but only worth certain conditions (revealed in briefing in class).
• Lets get it on!!
• Hold the standards. Form is priority as always.
• Scale as needed.
• Stay Humble. Work Hard. Be Happy.
