LINS FITT – Functional Fitness
Mindset
“Don’t tell me who you are. Tell me what you are.”
When we are asked “who” we are, we default to our past. We define ourselves by our resumes. Although our past may give us insight of where we’ve been, it cannot be what defines us… for it’s the past.
When the question however asks “what” we are, we tend to give a different answer. We describe who we *really* are. It’s one of character, values and beliefs.
Will we be defined by who we’ve been in the past, or by what we stand for today? Let character be our loudest statement.

TEACHING
TOES TO BAR
Fast Feet
Maintaining tension is one of the most important aspects of the kip. A great example of tension not being maintained is when athletes have to double kip. This double kip can be a result of a passive return of the feet to the arch position after the toes make contact with the bar. Instead of letting gravity bring the feet down, have athletes quickly return their feet to behind the body. This will put them into a tense arch position and help them maintain rhythm in their kip. Fast feet can also be helpful on the way up. Closing the gap between the feet and the bar with a quick “flick” of the feet can get the rep done quicker and help push off midline fatigue.

The barbell in this workout comes from the floor

TOES TO BAR
The toes to rep number is also intended to be small
Choose a rep number or variation that allows to complete the movement in 1-2 quick sets

You can step or jump out of the burpee, but must jump with two feet over the bar
