At-Home WOD (no Zoom or in-class offering)
BRIEF
Today we have Russian kettlebell swings, with a piked or strict handstand push-up (HSPU) every 2:00.
The focus is on rhythm and consistency. From the start, get a rhythm on the kettlebell swings in order to complete a big sets immediately. As soon as you feel fatigue building, rest. Pushing into fatigue, especially early, is a recipe for disaster. Also, break a few seconds before each 2:00 mark so you can smoothly transition into the pushing portion. Support your pace by breathing consistently and in-rhythm with the movement.
HSPUs should remain unbroken through all sets. Keep your core and glutes tight in order to stabilize the midline. The more stable you are, the easier it is to transfer power into the HSPU. Drop reps as needed to maintain this type of quality.
WEIGHT: Use anything that you can hold for the kettlebell swings if you do not have an actual kettlebell. Backpack, duffle-bag, luggage, etc. will work just fine!

•10 Arm Circles ea/s
