TEMPO (WOW March 30th-April 5th)
10 Min AMRAP: 12 Burpees 12 Wall Balls (20/14) 12 Toes-To-Bar The Intent: Ten minutes. Three movements. No barbell to hide behind. No complex skill to distract you. Just effort and the decision of how to spend it. This workout is going to reveal something about you. There are two ways to approach an AMRAP. There's the person who sees the clock and immediately starts calculating. How many rounds can I get. What pace do I need to hold. Where can I shave seconds. They're not in the workout. They're above it. Managing it. Performing it. The score is the point and the experience is just the cost of getting there. Then there's the person who gets in it. They feel the burpees in their chest. They settle into the wall balls. They find a rhythm on the toes to bar. They're not chasing a number. They're in a conversation with themselves about who they are when it gets uncomfortable. This week is about asking whether your training is something you're present for or something you're producing. Are you in the workout or are you performing the workout? Before you start: Ask yourself honestly, if nobody ever saw my score, would I move any differently in the next ten minutes? During: Somewhere around minute six or seven the legs are going to get heavy and the lungs are going to burn. In that moment notice what your brain does. Does it go to the scoreboard? Does it start calculating rounds? Or can you stay in the rep you're in without needing the next one to justify it? After: Post your score if you want. But answer this first, were you in the workout today or were you performing it?
