Notes:

The air squats will likely be the easier portion of today’s workout, with the sit-ups and bike providing more of a challenge. That being said, we can work with the cards we’re dealt. Knowing the last two movement will be a challenge, there is a payoff in pushing through them. We can ramp up the intensity and bring down the time under tension by throwing the arms on the sit-ups. The bike rewards a higher power output, so athletes can aim to hold a slightly higher wattage or RPMs than they are accustomed to. The air squats will be our pacer today. Looking for a consistent, steady pace for all 40 reps with a focus on breathing following the transition from the bike.
