Intermediate Program #3

Intermediate Program #3

This 4-week block of workouts brings to you another progressive set of endurance building "BUILD" workouts, power building "BRING IT!" workouts, and technique building "FOCUS" workouts! These workouts are for ALL fitness and experience levels!

Perform 3 workouts per week, starting with BUILD, then BRING IT, then FOCUS! I recommend either a Monday-Wednesday-Friday or Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday format! On your days in between, you can fill those days with the plethora of resistance, conditioning, and recovery workouts available here on JUST ROW!

This block's BUILD workouts focus on building up timed intervals, and reversing those intervals to push aerobic performance.
This block's BRING IT workouts focus on practicing multiple intensity and rate shifts throughout HIIT intervals.
This block's FOCUS workouts focus on practicing rowing at different stroke lengths.
