20 Minute Assault Bike
On the 0:00, 4:00, 8:00, 12:00 and 16:00:

STIMULUS
Your score today is total calories accumulated on the Assault Bike in 20 minutes (keep the monitor running the whole workout)
There are five instances where you’ll be off the bike, completing work that will take you away from the scored movement
Every 4 minutes (starting on the 0:00) you’ll complete 8 chest to bar pull-ups, 8 burpee box jump overs, and a 50 foot double dumbbell front rack walking lunge
If those 3 movements take you 2 minutes, for example, you’ll have 2 minutes on the bike before moving back to the chest to bar pull-ups on the 4:00
Choose a weight on the dumbbells that enables you to complete the 50 feet unbroken every round
Choose a chest to bar number or variation that you can complete unbroken every time
There is no need to stand to full extension on the box
STRATEGY
Rather than thinking of this like a 20 minute workout, we can think of it more as a 5 round workout
Think of it like this:
5 Rounds on the 4 Minute:
8 Chest to Bar Pull-ups
8 Burpee Box Jump Overs (24/20)
50′ Double Dumbbell Front Rack Walking Lunge (50’s/35’s)
Max Calorie Assault Bike in Time Remaining
When we think of it in this 5-round format with lowest calorie round being your score, it can help you better approach the work ahead
The work off the bike will likely take somewhere around 1:30 – 2:00, giving you 2:00 – 2:30 on the bike each round
Within that 2:00 – 2:30 time window on the bike, find a RPM or Wattage that you see yourself holding for the duration of that round and also within the other 4 rounds
We’re still moving for 20 minutes straight, so take that into account with pacing
It may be better to slow things down a hair on the work off the bike in order to allow yourself to hold a respectable pace on the bike
The RPM targets below tell you roughly how many calories you’ll get in a 1-minute effort on the bike if you hold that pace:
50 RPM = 7 Cals
55 RPM = 10 Cals
60 RPM = 12 Cals
