Try New Things
This year Meredith Root competed the Open in the equipment-free version. She replied to comments saying that she still wanted to participate in the fitness challenge, but did not intend to compete in the season.
“For someone out there, making it to the Quarterfinals stage is going to be a big accomplishment and I don’t want to take that away by competing for a Semifinals spot that I won’t take.”
”I’m looking forward to the unique challenge and pain that will surely come without any equipment.”
Practice Breathing Techniques
“Practice breathing techniques right after a workout or during a rest period. I like box breathing which is 4 seconds inhale, 4 seconds hold, 4 seconds exhale, 4 seconds hold.Not only will that teach you how to control your breathing, but it has a pretty profound effect on your parasympathetic nervous system as well.”
