💪 Pro Tips
- Hold means hold: Bird dog hold is isometric - maintain perfect position for the full 60 seconds
- Explosive but controlled: Cable broad jump requires power - but reset your position between each rep
- One rep at a time: Long intervals can be mentally challenging - focus on quality of each individual rep
- Core stays engaged: Every movement here challenges stability - keep that core braced throughout
