12 GHD sit-ups

This workout is light and quick. The dose of GHD sit-ups is relatively low, so this is a good opportunity for intermediate athletes to get some exposure to the GHD. Beginners should stick with AbMat sit-ups. Reduce the load on the thrusters so you can do 30 unbroken.

10 GHD sit-ups
30 thrusters
45 double-unders

Men: 45 lb.
