Wednesday 12 February

Warming Up

In pairs:

  • Row exactly 500 m in IGYG without viewing the screen – switch every 20″
  • For every meter over/under both partners do 1 burpee

 

  • Ski exactly 500 m in IGYG without viewing the screen – switch every 20″
  • For every meter over/under both partners do 1 burpee

*Before starting do a test set of 20″ to see how much distance you cover on each machine.

 

Conditioning

For time:

  • 2K in 250 m intervals row/ski in w:r ratio 1:1

Rest 3 min

  • 2K in 200 m intervals on the ski-erg in w:r ratio 1:1

Rest 3 min

  • Then repeat for both machines

 

*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 250 m interval while P2 rests. P2 then completes 250 m while P1 rests until they’ve accumulated 2K in total. So each partner does 4 sets. 3 min rest, then repeat for the ski erg. To account for spillover calories (and to ensure each buddy does exactly 250 m per set) set the rower to 250 m intervals with undefined rest.

*Keep an eye on your pace and s/m. Try to keep these metrics as constant as possible. Hold a high, but sustainable pace.
