Complete 5 rounds for time (as quickly as you can - only rest between rounds as prescribed): - 5 x Hanging Leg Raises or Leg Tucks (choose the variation that is difficult but doable) - 20 x Walking Lunges (20 steps on each leg) - 200 meter Run - Rest 2 minutes Leg Tucks are no longer tested, so why do we still do it? The ability to push and pull with the upper body, both vertically (like an overhead press and pull up) and horizontally (like a push up or bent over row) are fundamental movement patterns for ALL HUMANS. Integrating an upper-body pull like hanging leg raises or leg tucks also helps build the trunk (aka core) and grip strength! It's a 3-for-1!
