🧘 Cool Down 5'

  • monster walk – 2 minutes

Instructions

Set a 15-minute timer. Complete all 4 exercises in order = 1 round. Immediately start the next round. Rest only when needed – keep moving! Record your total rounds + extra reps. Example score: 6 rounds + 15 reps = "6+15".

Tips

Start at a sustainable pace – you have 15 minutes!

Break up sets if needed (e.g., 5+5 push-ups).

Quality still matters – do not sacrifice form for speed.

Write down your score and try to beat it next time.

This is you vs. you – compete with yourself.
