Once again, the focus of this workout is the pace. For most people, pull-ups will be the most challenging and squats, the least. Therefore, pace yourself on the pull-ups (and box jumps) – breaking it down into smaller chunks if necessary. Then on the push-ups and squats, aim to go unbroken, as you pick up the pace.
This workout will no doubt challenge your aerobic capacity, so rest hard during each round for 60 secs. Don’t forget that each time you complete a round, you will be more fatigued, so it’s OK to slow down a little as you move through the workout.
To keep track of your progress, make a note of the total number of reps at the end and try to beat it next time.
