Strength:

For the first 15 minutes of class, perform:

3 x 3 Parallete HSPU

Advanced:  Try and reach full depth (to the shoulder).
Intermediate:  If you are unable to perform the parallete pushup, but you ARE comfortable with normal HSPU, try performing slow negatives from the parallete handstand.
Beginner:  Work on getting into the parallete (or normal) handstand -or- work on normal HSPU.  Use the slow negative from a handstand technique to build strength. 

Work:

3 Rounds of:

AMRAP double-unders in 1min - rest 30 sec
AMRAP pushups in 1 min - rest 30 sec
AMRAP abmat situps in 1 min - rest 1 min
Score is best total reps of each exercise.

Notes:
  • Be careful!  The gym floor is very slippery, especially when using the paralletes.  Place a mat underneath and do not perform without a coach spotting you.
