Scaling:
Today’s workout is a mix of high-skill gymnastics and grunt work. You have to pay the toll of the shuttle runs in order to play with the handstand push-ups. Scale the number of shuttle runs to finish in 1 minute or less. The most challenging variation of the handstand push-up is up first. Challenge yourself, but not so much that you spend a lot of time resting. There is more benefit in scaling the handstand push-up and continuously moving than in trying to do too much and twiddling your thumbs.

3 strict handstand push-ups
