Sunday 25 February

Warming Up

  • Farmers & lumberjacks game

Conditioning

Prep – Do a test round of each combination with your team.

Team Workout – Bike, row, ski, hold

In teams of 4:

  • 150 cal row versus squat hold
  • 150 cal echo/Assault bike versus HS hold / scaling: plank hold or wall facing HS hold
  • 150 cal ski versus hollow body hold

TC = 32 min

*Flow: at all times 2 team members must do the hold, but you can alternate any time you want. Beginners can have 1 athlete do the hold. Calories do not count if this criterium is not met. Beginners do 100 cal on each machine, intermediates 125 cal. So at all times one athlete is on the machine, 1 or 2 athletes resting and 1 or 2 athletes doing the hold. Think of a strategy to break up each machine wisely. Break before you are broken.
