Workout Instructions:
Athletes start lying on the ground in a line. On 3, 2, 1 Go: All four athletes perform 30 synchro Russian kettlebell swings; once completed, athletes will perform 10 synchro burpees in pairs, one pair working, one pair resting, athletes may swap as they wish. Teams will then complete 20 calories on the CV kit, one athlete working at a time, athletes can swap as often as they like.
Once 20 calories are completed, athletes move onto 30 synchro kettlebell goblet squats, all four athletes working, into 10 synchro burpees in pairs; one pair working, one resting.
Teams will then complete 15 calories on the CV kit. Once the calories have been completed, teams will complete 30 synchro kettlebell lunges with all four athletes working, 10 synchro burpees in pairs, and 10 calories on the CV kit.
All four athletes will then perform 30 synchro kettlebell STOH, 10 synchro burpees working in pairs, and 5 calories on the CV kit. In any remaining time, athletes will accumulate as many burpees over partner reps as possible, with one athlete working at a time; athletes can swap as they wish.
Synchronised Russian Kettlebell Swing Description: Athletes must hold the handle with both hands. Starting stood at full extension with feet shoulder width apart; hinge the hips back so that the kettlebell passes between the legs with the base of the kettlebell behind the body. Hips and legs extend rapidly driving the kettlebell to eye level. Hips hinge back as the kettlebell descends to begin the next rep. The synchronisation is at the top of the rep at eye level, hips at full extension. The movements can be done at different speeds as long as all four athletes are in sync at the top at full extension.
Synchronised Burpee Description: Two athletes working at a time. Start standing in full extension, jump back to a push-up position and lower chest and thighs to the floor. Push up and jump feet back towards the hands before standing. Once at full extension, jump and clap with hands overhead. The synchronisation is at the top of the rep when both athletes jump and clap. The movements can be done at different speeds as long as athletes are in sync when clapping.
*Calories CV Description: (Depending on location this could be rowing, ski erg, or bike)
Rowing Description: Athletes will complete calories on the rower. The rower can only be pulled by the athlete sitting on the rower, not by another athlete. Other athletes can help the person on the rower adjust their foot straps. The rower must be reset between rounds and start on zero calories.
Ski Erg Description: Athletes will complete calories on the ski erg. The ski erg can only be pulled by the working athlete, not by another athlete. The ski erg must be reset between rounds and start on zero calories.
Bike Description: Athletes will complete calories on the bike. The bike can only be moved by the athlete sitting on the bike, not by another athlete. The bike must be reset between rounds and start on zero calories.
Synchronised Kettlebell Goblet Squat Description: Athletes must hold the kettlebell in a goblet hold; two hands on the kettlebell at chest height. Starting stood up at full extension, feet hip width apart. Squat down below parallel keeping chest up before standing back upright to full extension with shoulders back and hips through. The synchronisation is at the top of the rep at full extension. The movements can be done at different speeds as long as all four athletes are in sync at the top at full extension.
Synchronised Kettlebell Lunge Description: Athletes must hold the kettlebell in a goblet hold; two hands on the kettlebell at chest height. Starting at full extension, athletes must then lunge, either by stepping forwards or backwards with one knee touching the ground before standing back upright to full extension with legs together, shoulders back and hips through. The synchronisation is at the top of the rep at full extension. The movements can be done at different speeds as long as all four athletes are in sync at the top in full extension.
Synchronised Kettlebell Shoulder to Overhead Description: Athletes can either hold the kettlebell with two hands or with one hand on one side. Start with the kettlebell below the chin and then push overhead to finish with arms locked out. The kettlebell should then come below the chin before starting the next rep. The synchronisation is at the top of the rep with arms locked out overhead. The movements can be done at different speeds as long as all four athletes are in sync at the top of the rep at full extension. Athletes can either strict press, or use their legs to help by performing a push press or push jerk.
Burpee Over Partner Description: One athlete will lie on the ground on their front or back. Another athlete will perform the burpee over partner by standing next to the athlete on the ground; jumping back to a push-up position and lowering chest and thighs to the floor, before pushing up and jumping their feet back towards their hands to standing. The athlete will then jump over the athlete lying on the ground with a two-footed jump. Teams can rotate who is lying on the ground and who is performing the burpee as they wish.
Modified Movements:
- Athletes can perform Russian kettlebell swings to eye level, they must stay in sync with the rest of the team. - Athletes can step back and step up the burpee. Athletes can perform a straight arm burpee rather than going chest to floor if required. Not all athletes are required to work on the CV kit; the movements can be restricted i.e. leg only/arm only bike, smaller range of movement on the rower/ski erg. Athletes can restrict the squat to a depth that's comfortable. Athletes can also either hold the weight down to the side or remove the weight and do air squats. Athletes can restrict the lunge to a depth that's comfortable. Athletes can also either hold the weight down to the side or remove the weight and do bodyweight lunges. Athletes can restrict the range of movement of the STOH to a comfortable level, if this is too difficult the athlete can hold the weight at chest height whilst the rest of the team work through the STOH. If they put their weight down the rest of the team must also stop. Athletes may step over their partner in the burpee over partner rather than jumping.
* Athletes must let the judge know before the workout starts if they need to modify anything; otherwise the movement standards will be expected by the judge. If there is a modified movement whilst synchro, the judge will watch for the full movement to be completed by one athlete and the other athlete to get to their adaptation.
