Strategy & Tips

Chelsea is Cindy with built-in rest. Complete one 'Cindy round' at the start of each minute. You get whatever time remains to rest. The goal is to complete all 30 minutes.

  • Aim to finish each round in 35-45 seconds to get adequate rest
  • Break the pull-ups into 3-2 if needed to stay ahead of fatigue
  • Push-ups are where most people fall behind - break early
  • Squats should be fast and unbroken
  • If you can't complete a round within the minute, you're done

Pacing

Sustainable pace from the start. If you're finishing rounds in 30 seconds, you can push harder. If you're finishing at 55 seconds, consider scaling.
