Warm-up
Today’s workout will begin by practicing inversions using a tabata format. In a tabata, you perform a given movement for eight rounds of 20 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest. Pick an inversion modification that works for you today. This could be a handstand against the wall for more experienced athletes or a downward-facing dog stretch for beginning athletes. Check out the inversions link at the bottom of this post for more information on inversion modifications.
To time today’s inversion practice using the SmartWOD timer app:
- Select “TABATA”.
- Choose 8 rounds of 0:20 work, 0:10 rest.
- Press “START TIMER”.
Everyone perform:

This will continue for 8 rounds until the 16 minutes are complete.
