It's a new week...will you rise to the challenge and complete the following???
In honesty, I did not do last weeks' Cardio portion as I took place in a ski-erg event raising money for Protect Our Winters (donate here). It was gnarly and I loved it. Teams of 4, 20 minutes of just all out ripping. We accumulated 5790 meters and were pretty happy with our efforts! We all agreed to improve upon our technique for next years fundraiser so we could get a little closer to the 1st place team which had nearly 1,000 extra meters on us!!!
CARDIO CHALLENGE
Warm yourself up, think roll out lats, triceps, & maybe some nice easy pulls for 250m or so then get into the following beast:
12 x 350m with 45 sec rest
*Equivalent will be about 1 1/2 min efforts
Rest 3 min
1 x 500m for time, aiming to get close to 2 minutes!
*Equivalent will be a hard 2 min effort
