July Fitness and Nutrition Challenge 2014

July Fitness and Nutrition Challenge 2014.

MAX EFFORT 250M SPRINTS ON THE C2 ROWER X 5. 

(3 minute rest between efforts. I am still working on rowing technique and I have a long way to go. These are taking about 40-45 seconds to do, and there is always a bit of overshot on the distance. All I know is that metabolically they feel a lot like hill sprints, without the stress on that IT band issue I've been facing.)
