Coaching Advice
Target time: Complete 4 rounds.
How to pace: Maintain a steady, controlled pace for every movement to build core engagement without rush.
How to be competitive: Focus on maintaining a consistent rhythm; aim to complete more rounds while keeping form intact throughout.
What you should feel: During workout, you should feel stable and engaged in your core, with a good stretch in the glutes and lower back. Afterward, expect a light fatigue in the core but refreshed overall.
Coach Note
This workout focuses on core durability and encourages an active recovery day. The pace should remain low to moderate, promoting adaptation and preventing fatigue. By incorporating lower intensity but precise work, it reinforces the theme of sustainability in fitness progression.
