Complete as many rounds as possible in 15 minutes of:
50-ft. handstand walk
100-ft. walking lunge

This couplet pairs a difficult movement with an easier movement.
The lunges will tax you metabolically while your arms and shoulders recover from the handstand walks.
Pick a modification for the handstand walk that still requires you to get inverted and place weight on your hands.
