Coaching Tips:  Scale load and movements to match your current fitness level. 40/40 means 40 seconds of work followed by 40 seconds of static holds. Pull ups are chin over the bar, push ups are in the plank position and squats are upper leg at parallel to the floor. Not above or below, but at parallel. You can pace yourself during the movement portion of 40/40, but once the holds begin you cannot stop until 40 seconds is over. It's often better to  go right into the holds after 40 seconds of work is over, but make sure you have enough in the tank to go the whole 40 seconds in the holds.

Thanks go out to Tony Acosta for bringing his U.S.Border Patrol Team in for a little taste of CFEC and it's AirDyne love.
