Spice level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️


Focus: This workout focuses on endurance and pacing.

Equipment: You’ll need 4 pieces of equipment throughout the whole session. A set of DBs, a KB, a Ski-erg and a C2 bike erg.

Total Estimated Workout Time: 38 Minutes (excluding breaks)

Overview:

There are 3 parts or blocks in this workout.

The first two blocks are on an erg where you’ll complete a set distance for time, with some secondary exercises to help break things up and keep you on your toes.

These first two blocks are relatively long form, so the challenge will be to maintain consistent pacing through. Try not to let the speed drop off throughout!

The third block is an AMRAP, meaning you’ve just got to put the head down and get the work done.


Key Points:

Ensure equipment is organized for efficient transitions

Keep track of your time and pacing

Take a 1-2 minute rest between each block


Remember to enjoy the challenge!
