Extracurricular Cardio is optional homework but is highly suggested for becoming a well-rounded athlete.

It is usually released twice a week: once for the first half of the week, and again for the second half (and weekend). It will not be given out during our Max/Testing weeks, as to not interfere with our maxing/testing.

Our athletes can complete on their own at home, on the road, or at our gym (given that the rower/AD isn't being used by the classes). This will not cost a class to utilize the equipment once given the okay by the trainer.
