Workout Overview

Stimulus

One teammate will complete reps of the cardio movement while another does an isometric hold and the third rests. Athlete on the cardio station can only move while one partner is in the hold. Rotate every time the partner breaks the hold. Every 10 meters = 1 shuttle run rep. 

Scoring

Score: Sum Total Reps (Bike + Row + Shuttle)

Movements

Intended Intensity: RPE 6-7 

Fitness Attribute Improved: Lactate Threshold, Muscular Endurance 

Target Score: 360-600 Reps

The One | Teaching Focus

Core Engagement

Observe athlete core engagement throughout the isometric movements.  They should maintain a neutral and tight midline throughout the holds.  Cue them to pull their rib cage down, and squeeze belly button to spine. 

Strategies

Aim to hold the isometric movements for at least 0:30 at a time.  If unable find an option that will allow you to hold for 0:30 or longer.

Push the pace on the machines, use the rest to recover and get heart rate under control.

Try and focus on breathing throughout the holds, avoid holding your breath.

Look For 

  • Machines: Look for athletes to give a hard effort, moving fast and efficiently. 
  • Wall Sit: Athletes should aim to hold at 90 degrees in the knee.  Look for them to push their low back into the wall, maintaining a tight core. 
  • Dead Hang: Look for athletes to try and get their knuckles as over the bar as possible, ensuring they have as much of a grip as they can. 
  • Plank Hold: Cue athletes to not only squeeze their core, but to squeeze their legs and drive their hands as hard through the ground as they can.
