“When you have one foot in the past, and one in the future, you piss on the present.” – Dan Harris
It’s tempting to daydream about the future, and it’s far too easy to dwell on the past. Being present is ironically the most challenging of the three.
Depression is when we dwell on the past. Anxiety is the fear of the future. And neither lead to happiness.
Happiness is not something we find in the past, and it’s definitely not something we postpone for the future. It is something we design for the present.

GENERAL
One method that can work well on workouts like this is having a time goal per round
We can use the intended scoring range of 3-5 rounds as a guide for this strategy
We’ll split the difference and use a 4 round goal as an example
If the goal is to get 4 rounds, you’ll have to complete one round every 3:45
This means you’ll look to average just under 1 minute per station
Your targets on the clock to finish each round would be [3:45-7:30-11:15-15:00]
Having these targets can help you gauge how quickly to move
You can then break down the goal round time further into rough movement times:
20 Power Snatches: 1:00
40 Double Unders: 0:45
20 Burpees: 1:15
40 Double Unders: 0:45
When you begin with the end goal in mind, you can then work backwards to figure out what you’ll have to do to get there
Decide where you want to finish before the workout starts and then calculate what speed is necessary to accomplish that
POWER SNATCHES & DOUBLE UNDERS
If you see yourself breaking these at some point, do so from the beginning
A quick, planned break at the halfway point can help you stay moving consistently for 15 minutes
BURPEES
Move at a steady pace through your burpees and try to keep a rhythm to your breathing
