You're almost to the finish line! This week's strength workout is meant to refine your movements, so use light weights. You'll do fewer sets to keep your movement patterns fresh without any fatigue. This is a really brief workout that falls in line with your taper - avoid the temptation to do any more! It won't pay off. 

Pay attention to hydration and fueling consistency.

All exercises are either bodyweight or light weights.

Mindset Note: remind yourself you’re prepared. Trust the process.

NOTES

  • You will need: Kettlebell or Dumbbells
  • If needed, rest 1-2 minutes between rounds.
  • Always do your warm-up to help prevent injuries.
  • Some video demonstrations may depict exercise tools other than what we suggest - the same cues and form will still apply unless otherwise noted.

REMINDER:

  • Soft count: 1, 2, 3, 4 ... this is when both (or all) limbs perform the exercise at the same time.
  • Hard count: 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4...this is when only one limb does work at a time.
  • Each Side: Do all reps on one side before switching to complete all reps on the other side.
