Workout

For time with a partner:

  • 2 K in 500 m intervals Row

2 min rest

  • 2 K in 500 m intervals Ski

TC = 22 min

*Work in pairs with someone about the same fitness as you are. This is important to ensure each partner has about the same work and rest time. P1 starts with the first 500 m interval while P2 rests. P2 then completes 500 m while P1 rests until they’ve accumulated 2K in total. So each partner does 2 sets. 2 min rest, then repeat for the ski erg. To account for spillover calories (and to ensure each buddy does exactly 500 m per set) set the rower to 500 m intervals with undefined rest.
