Beginner Level

For a simpler version, use the same exercise order but stop Main Block A after the 12-rep climb, and complete 2 rounds of Main Block B instead of 3. Slow the burpees down, shorten work periods to 30 seconds if needed, and rest a little longer between efforts to keep effort around 5-6/10. A great success target is to finish every rep with tidy form and steady breathing.

🔓

Intermediate / Advanced Options

Option 1: In Main Block A, add 1 rep to each step of the pyramid while keeping movement quality high.

Option 2: In Main Block B, keep the 40/20 structure but use a slightly heavier kettlebell for the floor press if you can still move cleanly.

Option 3: In the Tabata finisher, maintain the same format and aim to match your best work output across all 8 rounds.
