This workout has been developed in collaboration with Neal Maddox to get your heart pumping and legs and lungs burning. Pick a skill level that doesn’t result in getting stuck for too long. If you have double unders in small bunches Level 2 could be right. If your double unders are one at a time, you might consider going to Level 1 so you can keep moving and get more work done. For CFM Members you can always retry the workout in Open Gym at a different skill level if your initial attempt doesn’t fit your original plan.
Speak with your coach if you have questions about which level is most appropriate for you. Enjoy the workout, and see you on the whiteboard!
