How do you perform the Scan in Motion workout

Learn how to crush this workout

Begin by setting up your space for the workout, ensuring you have enough room for each exercise. Start with the 20 shuttle sprints, covering 50 ft back and forth. Focus on quick footwork and maintaining speed.

Transition to lateral skaters, jumping side to side while balancing on one leg. Keep your movement swift and controlled. Follow this with 20 sit-ups, engaging your core and using a full range of motion.

Next, perform 20 alternating lunges, stepping forward and lowering your back knee towards the ground. Shift to 20 mountain climbers, driving your knees towards your chest while maintaining a plank position.

Continue with 20 plank shoulder taps, ensuring your hips stay level. Then, push the sled for 40 ft, using your legs and core for power. After that, execute 20 Russian kettlebell swings, swinging the kettlebell to shoulder height while keeping your back straight.

Complete the workout with 20 box jumps on a 24" or 20" box, exploding upward with full hip extension. Conclude with 20 calories on the Echo Bike, pedaling hard. Finish off with 20 high knees to elevate your heart rate before wrapping up the session.

How do you scale the workout

The wod "Scan in Motion" can be done by everyone

Reduce the distance of shuttle sprints to 30 ft or substitute with short sprints to enhance confidence and technique. Scale the lateral skaters to a more manageable range or revert to lateral step-ups. For sit-ups, beginners can perform crunches or use an ab mat for assistance.

Lower the number of alternating lunges to 10 per leg or use a lower range of motion. Replace mountain climbers with high knees at a slower pace to maintain form. For plank shoulder taps, reduce the duration to 20 seconds instead of full reps.

Adjust sled pushes to 20 ft or decrease the weight for better control. Use a lighter kettlebell of 8–12 kg for swings or perform them in a t-ball motion. Box jumps can be modified to step-ups at a lower height or even to air squats.

For the Echo Bike calories, cut it down to 10 cal or perform a 30-second sprint followed by a rest. Finally, scale high knees to marching in place or reduce to 10 reps per leg.

What are the tips and strategy to use

Here is how to gain an edge in the "Scan in Motion"

Warm up properly before starting the workout to prepare your muscles and joints. Focus on maintaining good form for each movement to prevent injury and maximize efficiency.

During the shuttle sprints, aim for quick, explosive movements, but conserve energy for the later rounds. Keep your core engaged during lateral skaters, and use your arms to help balance.

For the sit-ups, maintain a steady rhythm, and don’t rush. In alternating lunges, ensure your knee doesn’t extend past your toes to protect your joints.

As you tackle mountain climbers, keep your hips low and core tight. When doing plank shoulder taps, minimize hip movement to maximize stability.

Strategically plan your sled pushes to maintain momentum while avoiding burnout. During kettlebell swings, focus on hip drive rather than arm strength. For box jumps, use a steady pace and land softly to reduce impact.

On the echo bike, push for consistent effort to manage your calories. Lastly, keep high knees fast but controlled to finish strong.
