DESCRIPTION
*”Cindvee” is a twist on a popular benchmark workout
*For the first 10 minutes of the workout, you’ll complete this triplet workout weighted
*You can use a weight vest or a back pack loaded with weight
*You’ll ditch the weight for the final 10 minutes, finishing out the workout with just your bodyweight
WEIGHTED MOVEMENT
*Although we are weighting the first half of the workout, we want to choose the right weight
*Choose a weight that allows you to complete the strict pull-ups and push-ups within 3 sets
*If you don’t have a weight vest or backpack, you can complete:
*Dumbbell Weighted Strict Pull-ups
*Dumbbell Goblet Squats
*If you don’t have weights – you can also simply complete the 20 minutes without weight
*See the “modifications” section for more options
MODIFICATIONS
STRICT PULL-UPS
*10 Odd Object Rows
*Dumbbell Weighted Strict Pull-ups
*Banded Strict Pull-ups
*Ring Rows
PUSH-UPS
*Deficit Push-ups
*Hand Release Push-ups
*Elevate Hands to Box or Bench
*Knee Push-ups
AIR SQUATS
*Dumbbell Goblet Squats
TEACHING
HIPS LOCKED
*On all 3 movements, let’s focus on locking the hips
*In the air squat, this means locking the hips out at the top of each rep by pushing the hips forward and squeezing the glutes
*In the push-up, locking the hips allows you to keep the body in a straight line while isolating the upper body to do the work
*In the strict pull-up, locking the hips keeps you in a hollow body position and ensures the hips do not contribute to the movement in the form of a slight kip
TIPS
*Break the strict pull-ups and push-ups more than you want to from the very beginning
*The added weight will cause a lot more fatigue in these movements than usual
*Imagine how you would be breaking up the weighted movements if you were 10 rounds into the workout and do that from round 1
*Slow down the air squats to allow the upper body time to recover
*When you lose the weight at 10 minutes, see if you can maintain a similar break-up strategy

DAILY MINDSET
“Patience is not the virtue. Discipline is.”
Discipline is not reserved for the military for martial artists. Whereas patience is our anchor for holding steady through the storm, it is our discipline that pushes us forward.
Discipline to our commitments, regardless of how large or seemingly small.
Discipline to our values, staying true to ourselves in both our best and worst moments.
Discipline to the details, when there’s every excuse in the world to “let it slide”.
Patience is a subset of a deeper practice. That of discipline.
