“An object at rest tends to stay at rest. An object in motion tends to stay in motion.” – Newton There is a difference between understanding what we need to do, and actually doing it. Most people don’t have an issue knowing what they need to do. They make goals, lists, priorities, to-do’s. But despite it being buttoned up on paper – the separation lies in execution. We anticipate the work of the entire project, and... it becomes paralyzing. In those moments, we need to remind ourselves that we aren’t looking to gather the energy to finish. We are looking to gather the energy to just start. Whether it’s the search of a new job, a new PR, or even a significant other, we just need to take that first step in the process. The rest has its way of falling into place. For an object in motion, tends to stay in motion.

DESCRIPTION
Pairing bodyweight and dumbbell movements in these fast paced 2-minute intervals
After completing 2 rounds of "Strict Cindy", you'll complete as many dumbbell reps as you can with whatever time remains
For Example: If the 2 rounds take you 1:20 to complete, you'll have :40 to accumulate dumbbell reps
The dumbbell movements will change each round
Your score is the sum total of your 5 rounds of reps on the dumbbells

STRICT CINDY
1 round of "Strict Cindy" is: 5 Strict Pull-ups 10 Push-ups, and 15 Air Squats
With short windows to operate within, this bodyweight "buy-in" is designed to be fast and unbroken
To make sure we have enough time for the dumbbell movements, we'll cap these 2 rounds at 1:30 (:45 Per Round)
This gives you at least 30 seconds to work through dumbbell reps
Adjust the numbers or movement variations as needed to accomplish this, with the strict pull-ups and push-ups likely presenting the biggest challenges
3-6-9 will be a popular rep adjustment to the rounds of "Strict Cindy"
You can even reduce rounds and complete 1 round of "Strict Cindy" instead of 2
DUMBBELL MOVEMENTS

There won't be a lot of time to work through reps on the dumbbell, so weight selection is important
Choose a moderate set of dumbbells that allows you to move for the majority of time remaining
This time frame will likely be between 30-60 seconds
Use one weight for all 5 movements
This weight will likely be selected based off the more difficult movements of rounds 3-5
If you're on the fence, lighter weights are better, as they keep you moving for all 2 minutes each round

DESCRIPTION
Pairing bodyweight and barbell movements in these fast paced 2-minute intervals
After completing 2 rounds of "Strict Cindy", you'll complete as many barbell reps as you can with whatever time remains

The barbell movements will change each round
Your score is the sum total of your 5 rounds of reps on the barbell

This time frame will likely be between 30-60 seconds
Use one weight for all 5 movements
This weight will likely be selected based off the more difficult movements of rounds 3-5

Strategy

"STRICT CINDY"
The faster you move through these 2 rounds, the more time you will have for the barbell movements
Move with a sense of urgency while still maintaining range of motion standards on each movement
Every second counts within these short windows, so make your transitions fast
Performing your push-ups, air squats, and barbell movements directly under the strict pull-up station can save valuable seconds
Since we're alternating muscle groups and have only 2 minutes to work, aim for unbroken sets across the board

BARBELL MOVEMENTS
Your approach on the barbell movements will likely depend on how much time you have left
The shorter amount of time, the more urgency there is to hold onto the barbell
If you have closer to a minute to work, you may throw in a quick break or two
Whatever time you have left in these windows, do your best to limit your rest, as there is rest built in between rounds
