Workout Overview

Stimulus

This workout is all about pacing and maintaining intensity across 10 rounds. Every 3 minutes, you’ll complete a calorie target on both the rower and the Bike Erg, with any remaining time serving as your rest. The goal is to finish each round with enough time to recover before the next starts. Stay focused on consistent effort and avoid going out too fast—find a sustainable pace to carry you through all 10 rounds while keeping your output strong!

Scoring

Score | Slowest Round.

Movements

Row | 1:10 or less.

Bike | 1:10 or less.

Strategies

The One | Teaching Focus

Lactate Threshold

Lactate threshold is the intensity at which the body starts to produce lactate faster than it can be cleared away. This is the point where fatigue starts to increase noticeably, but it’s not yet an all-out effort.

Pacing: Emphasize the importance of starting at a brisk, sustainable pace where athletes can still speak in short phrases. Encourage maintaining or slightly increasing this effort through the segments, avoiding the urge to “redline” or reach complete exhaustion.

Effort Level: Guide athletes to target a 7-8 out of 10 in effort—challenging yet manageable. Use subjective feelings and, if available, heart rate to stay within this zone.

Tabata Row warm up

  • The goal is to build effort in our 4 rounds.  Starting with a easy pace and ending with a hard effort.
