Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Endurance (8/10): A chipper starting with a significant 60-calorie bike effort, followed by a descending ladder of bodyweight movements, tests cardiovascular endurance and ability to work through fatigue.
- Stamina (8/10): Muscular stamina is challenged across all bodyweight movements (squats, sit-ups, push-ups, pull-ups, burpees) after the initial bike fatigue.
- Speed (6/10): Moving quickly and efficiently through the chipper elements, with minimal rest and fast transitions, is key for a good time.
- Power (5/10): The Assault Air Bike is power-intensive; burpees also have an explosive component.
- Strength (3/10): Primarily bodyweight exercises; relative strength is important for pull-ups and push-ups, but overall it's an endurance/stamina test.
- Flexibility (2/10): Basic range of motion required for all standard bodyweight movements.
Modality Profile
A balanced test with a monostructural component (Assault Bike), a gymnastics component (Push-ups, Sit-ups), and a weightlifting component (Squats are bodyweight but programmed as W here).
