Burpee Simon Says
Positions:
Position 1: Standing tall (arms at sides).
Position 2: Top of a push-up (plank hold).
Position 3: Bottom of a push-up.
Position 4: Feet by hands or bottom of a squat.
Position 5: Jump to the sky (hands overhead, feet leaving the ground).
How It Works:
The coach calls out a position (e.g., "Simon Says 2"). Athletes must immediately move to the specified position.
If the coach does not say “Simon Says” and an athlete moves, they earn a penalty.
The coach can sequence positions as desired, creating patterns or random orders to challenge athletes. For example:
"Simon Says 2" → Athletes jump into a plank.
"Simon Says 3" → Athletes lower to the bottom of a push-up.
"Simon Says 4" → Athletes jump their feet to their hands.
