Tips & Strategy

The push-ups are the only movement that will stop you - break them 12-12 or 8-8-8 from round one. Squats and lunges should be steady, unbroken rhythm work; use them to breathe. Run at a pace you can sustain for all six rounds, and resist surging in round 1. Quad fatigue from lunges accumulates into the runs, so shorten your running stride slightly in the back half.

Scaled & Beginner Versions

Scaled: 6 rounds of 16 squats, 16 push-ups (knees ok), 16 lunges, 400 m run. Beginner: 4 rounds of 12-12-12 and a 200 m run. Keep moving continuously; cap at 30 minutes.
