Satan's Tricycle

three more to The Fleet

The AirDyne is great for warmups, cardio substitutions, and rehabilitation. The nature of the cycle is low-impact and that's what makes it great for the injured. The design of the bike has gone through little change in the past 25 years and it still has the same functions: push and/or pull with the arms, and cycle with legs, or don't! I cannot stress how well it can work when someone can't use their leg(s).


Coined by Andy W, the tricycle the AirDyne is known to put people into oxygen debt quickly for those pushing, pulling AND cycling their way with as much gusto as they've got. An awesome feature is that the harder you go, the harder it gets! 300 cal is the goal for the brave in today's WOD. That means that the athlete would have to average 1800cal/hour. Good luck!

WOD

for as many calories as possible in 10 minutes:
Use the Concept 2 Rowing Erg OR the Schwinn AirDyne

Giving 100% is today's workload. It's just as much a mental task as it is physical, but we'll spend a lot of time mobilize pre- and post- to get you warmed up and cooled down properly.

Post number of calories to comments!

"Goal" is one word for 300 cals from this WOD. I can think of a few more. Several beginning with Bat- and ending with "-Sh Crazy!"
