2-Minute Gymnastics Test

Level 1 – Push Ups
Level 2 – Wall Walks
Level 3 – Kipping Handstand Push Ups
Level 4 – Strict Handstand Push Ups

So, have a running clock for the first 10 minutes, after warm-ups, to use 2 minutes in that 10 to get max reps on one of the 4 levels listed. How you spend that 10 minutes is up to you. Prep a little, prep a lot, either way, make sure you use an unbroken 2 minutes to hit max reps on the movement in your level. Our goal is to work on getting comfortable in our handstand position and doing work in that position.

Toe2Bars*
*After every round of T2B, complete 50’ Burpee Broad Jumps

As we’ve talked in the past, keeping the core tight and shoulders engaged is some keys to making the Toe2Bars effective. For the burpee broad jump, it is up to you how you want to approach the broad jump. You can do as the video shows, make them small hops and quickly drop for your next burpee, or try to make them jumps as long as possible so you don’t have to do as many burpees. Which one should you do? The one that allows YOU to finish the fastest.
Scaling Options:
Toe2Bar -> Alt Single-leg T2B -> Kipping Knee Riase -> Strict Knee Riase -> Laying Toe2Rig -> V-Ups
