This workout combines low-skill bodyweight movements with moderate volume across 5 rounds. The 60-second rest between rounds provides meaningful recovery, breaking up the work and preventing continuous fatigue accumulation. While single unders and Hindu movements create some shoulder/core fatigue, the rep schemes are manageable and movements don't heavily interfere with each other. Average athletes complete this as prescribed without significant scaling.
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
All five movements are bodyweight gymnastics exercises: Single-Under (jump rope coordination skill), Air Squat (bodyweight squat), Push-Up (bodyweight pressing), Hindu Squat (bodyweight squat variation), and Hindu Push-Up (bodyweight pressing variation). No monostructural cardio or external load movements present.
| Attribute | Score | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Endurance | 6/10 | 21-28 minute workout with 60-second rest periods maintains elevated heart rate throughout. Continuous rounds demand sustained aerobic capacity, though rest breaks prevent maximal cardiovascular stress. |
| Stamina | 8/10 | High rep volume across five rounds (250 single unders, 75 air squats, 60 push-ups, 50 Hindu squats, 40 Hindu push-ups) tests muscular endurance significantly. |
| Strength | 2/10 | Bodyweight-only movements with no external load. Focus is muscular endurance rather than maximal force production or strength development. |
| Flexibility | 5/10 | Hindu squats and Hindu push-ups demand moderate hip and shoulder mobility. Air squats require basic ankle and hip flexibility. Moderate ROM demands overall. |
| Power | 3/10 | Single unders require some explosiveness, but overall movement tempo is controlled. Hindu variations emphasize flow over explosive power output. |
| Speed | 6/10 | Steady pacing required to complete within target window. Single unders demand quick hand-foot coordination; transitions between movements matter for time management. |
5 Rounds for Time: - 50 Single Unders - 15 Air Squats - 12 Push-Ups - 10 Hindu Squats - 8 Hindu Push-Ups Rest 60 seconds between rounds. Target: 21–28 minutes total (including rest).
A grindy aerobic engine builder — sustainable pace with clean transitions, not a sprint.
Pace your first round 5–10s slower than feels easy. Break the gymnastics before failure — small sets save big time across rounds.
Reduce the barbell load to maintain unbroken sets on the cleans. Sub jumping pull-ups or banded for HSPU.
