Sleep, Nutrition, … Play? Play is not just important for kids, it’s important for adults too! When we play, our creative brain is engaged and our mind is open to think in new, innovative ways. We are meant to play throughout life whether it’s through social connection or physical activity. So when you’re at the gym, can you look at swinging ‘bells and jumping rope and getting out of breath as adult playtime?! 🎈

You must have at least 60 seconds rest each round (ideally you get 2 minutes rest). Your coach will adjust your rep scheme if you cannot get the work done in under 4 minutes. People often lose time by trying to “recover” on the run–just run fast, like 85% of your max effort, and you will still have energy to complete the other movements but you won’t get caught by the clock.
