This is gonna be so much fun… when it’s over!! In the business we call that “Type 2 Fun.” Most of our workouts, and for sure the tougher WODs where you simply must take small breaks to complete the reps, are in fact intervals. The work-to-rest interval changes as you go through the workout, but strictly speaking, if there’s work and rest, you have an interval workout. HIIT, stands for High Intensity Interval Workout. The humorous part of this is that most people think it means switching exercises when you get tired so that you can keep going, o contrare mon frar, this workout is the embodiment of High Intensity Interval Training. You WORK, and then you REST, thus have an interval. Ultimately the “intensity” is up to you, you’re physiologic and psychologic (there I said it) tolerance for intensity, the burning pain of pushing the rower to your limits. If you don’t know what I’m talking about TODAY IS THE PERFECT DAY TO LEARN! If you know exactly what I’m talking about, awesome, you get to entreat fate, and see how much fighting spirit you have left in you 🙂

This should take around 35 minutes to smash through, unless Maher and Rachel decide to team up and shock the world with their apparent disinterest in the usufruct of the interval.
