Why?
Bodyweight exercises such as push-ups, pull-ups and pistols not only improve overall strength, but also train the cardiovascular system. They are versatile exercises because they can be modified to be easier or harder, making them ideal for virtually anyone. You can transition from one to another exercise in a minimal amount of time since they require little to no equipment, making them an efficient exercise option.
Intended Response
Moderate time on the clock cues athletes to find and maintain a pace they can keep for the bulk of the workout, increasing speed slightly towards the end. Rep counts for each movement are low, so break up the push-ups into 2 sets if possible, and aim to complete the rest unbroken with quick transitions between bodyweight movements.
