Tips to nail this WOD
- On leg raises, keep your lower back pressed into the floor: slide your hands under your glutes if needed.
- The standup starts lying down: sit up, bring your feet under you and stand without using your hands.
- The 25 leg raises of the middle round are the key moment: split them before failure.
