Workout of the day

Today's workout is a couplet.

Complete as many rounds as possible in 10-minutes of: 
10 calorie bike
10 strict handstand push-ups

This workout combines a lower body monostructural exercise with a challenging upper body gymnastic pushing exercise. The bike will drive the heart rate up and demand more midline stability for the handstand push-ups. Overall stamina and endurance will be trained during this workout. Chose a pushing variation of the handstand push-ups that can be completed in a fews sets quickly. This is essentially testing to see how fast can you bike while still being able to perform small to moderate sets of a difficult gymnastic skill.

Scaled

10-minutes of:
10 calorie bike
5 strict handstand push-ups

Foundations

10-minutes of:
10 calorie bike
5 pike handstand push-ups, feet on the floor.

The at home options for this workout are to use a different form of monostructural exercise like running or rowing. If these options are not available, 30 steps-ups to a short box is a great sub that will not interfere with the push-ups and still raise the heart rate. Regular push-ups or kneeling push-ups are an awesome option for athletes who need to build base pushing strength, while athletes more ready to go upside down can place the feet on an elevated surface to increase difficulty if needed.
