Movement Tips

Toes to bar

1. Break them up to your ability. I’ve started with 4 and 4 for several rounds and noticed that it is not as hard as I thought they would be, so I kept them unbroken for next several rounds.
2. Don’t grip too hard. To save your hands for longer
3. Wear gloves.

Dumbbell clean & jerk

1. Use a little swing similar to kettlebell swing to get dumbbell on your shoulder.
2. Try to use as much legs as you can. Push jerks are most power efficient.

Row

1. Stick to your pace, based on your rowing skills. At 1300 cal/hour it would take 40 sec to get 14 calories.
2. Don’t grip too hard 🙂
