Try to keep each Wall Ball set to a minimum of two sets, maybe three on the final set. For the Lunges, break them well before you hit the red line and establish a pace you can sustain for all 200 reps. Front and Reverse Lunges are both on the table but the knee must touch the ground and full extension at the top is required on each rep. In the Wall Walks, pick an option that starts to slow you down after 4-6 good reps.
