Workout of the Day - Overhead Squats and Running

🏋️ Get Ready to Sprint! Today's workout is all about speed and intensity! Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting out, the goal is to move fast and efficiently through these 5 rounds. Controlled sprint. Smooth squats. Have fun.

🔥 Feel the Burn! In this workout, we're aiming for near-max intensity. You'll be pushing yourself to the limit, with RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) hitting a solid 9 or 10. The goal? Finish strong in 10 minutes. If you're trying overhead squats for the first time, don't worry so much about the clock and focus on 10 high quality unbroken overhead squats if you can! This is a win too! And there's always the run to push the pace :)

💪 Performance vs. Fitness. Today, everyone's on the same playing field. Whether you're in it for peak performance or focusing on your overall fitness, the weight stays consistent. It's all about mastering those movements and maintaining good form throughout. The overhead squat can be tricky if you're newer to barbells. Don't hesitate to aim for 2-3 overhead squats instead of 10 and finish the rest of the reps in a front squat. This is a great strategy to challenge yourself with a couple reps of the new movement without worrying about 'missing intensity.'

🕒 Time to Shine. With a clear timeline and LOTS of coaching planned, today's workout will feel like a breeze. From warm-up to cooldown, every rep counts. And don't forget those high-fives at the end—it's a celebration of your hard work and dedication (and giving something new a try). So gear up, give it your all, and let's crush those goals together!
