Fitness Strength

Every minute for 16 minutes alternate the following movements:

Even Minutes:  Shoulder to Overhead x 3 reps
Odd Minutes:  Arch to Hollow to Arch to Vup x 3 reps

Notes:  The goal is to add weight each round for the presses.  Go as long as you can with strict presses.  If you fail a rep, you may move to the push press.  By the end you will be performing 3 push press each round.

 For the hollow to arch roll, focus on trying to rotate your shoulder and hip at the same time, scale to a tuckup if needed.

Advanced Strength

Every other minute for 16 minutes perform:

Strict Press    2×3 reps
Push Press     2×2 reps
Push Jerk       2×1 rep
Split Jerk        2×1 rep

Notes:  You should be able to add weight every round.  If you have any thoracic or shoulder mobility issues, you should skip the push jerk and perform all split.
