OVERHEAD WALKING LUNGE: Begin standing tall with both feet clearly behind the starting line and the object held overhead. The object must not touch any other part of the body. Step forward into a lunge, lowering the back knee to the ground and reaching full extension at the top of each step before beginning the next. A rep is credited when both feet clearly cross the next line of the segment while standing tall. If the athlete fails before reaching the line, they must return to the previous line and begin again. Shuffling or dragging the feet is not allowed.
ROPE CLIMB: Begin standing on the ground. A rep is credited when one hand clearly touches the beam at the top. Sliding or dropping from excessive height may result cause injuries.
