Cross Trainer Interval Workout (3:1 Ratio)


Cross Trainer Workouts

Please complete the Steady-State Cross Trainer Workout and the Cross Trainer Interval Workout 1 prior to attempting this (Cross Trainer Interval Workout 2) workout.

This difficult sample interval workout is to be performed at a work to rest ratio of 3 to 1.

The workout provided is an example only. If you wish to make the gym workout easier or harder, factors you can alter include: difficulty level; RPM; duration; work to rest ratio etc. For a tougher cross trainer workout, you may also wish to review our Fartlek Cross Trainer Interval Workout.

Remember, please monitor your heart rate to ensure you're training within your targeted/ suggested heart rate zone, decrease or increase difficulty accordingly.

With the above in mind, it's worth noting that the standard pre-set workout programs on a home or commercial cross trainer can typically be altered (difficulty-wise) at the touch of a button.
