15 Assault Bike WODs That’ll Build Your Cardio Conditioning And Intestinal Fortitude!

15 Assault Bike WODs

Whether you’re looking to burn some extra calories, increase your mental toughness or up your cardio for a obstacle course race it’s hard to dismiss the assault bike as one of the best conditioning tools out there.

Running and stair sprints are great but they’re high impact exercises… there’s only so much pounding of the pavement you can do before you begin to get sore joints and niggling issues due to the impact.
When it comes to pushing the pace for intervals if you’re on a treadmill you’re limited to the max speed of the treadmill (often 20kmph). For many this will not be all out effort.

The following 15 assault bike WODs mitigate that.

There’s no impact whatsoever, you’re seated with your arms on the handles, feet on the pedals and balls to the wall.
There’s no ceiling or electronic limiter as to how hard or fast you push. That’s up to your mind (they nicknamed the assault bike ‘devils tricycle’ for a reason!).

Here's The Assault Bike I Use & Recommend...

I've used the LifeCore Fitness assault bike for the last few years and it's never missed a beat, from short high energy interval workouts to long endurance workouts this beast will take an unlimited amount of punishment.
Don't cheap out and get an inexpensive low quality assault bike off Amazon, be sure to check this one out here.

I’m SJ. I’m a fitness enthusiast and published author. I transformed my body from a skinny fat 135lbs with 18% body fat to a solid 192lbs at 8% body fat. I became qualified in a field I was passionate about. I founded several online businesses that allow me to pursue ideas and projects in my life that I am passionate about without having to constantly worry about money. I published several eBooks explaining the training and dieting techniques I used to achieve the body I have today. I learnt a plethora of new information on dieting and fitness by reading and applying what I read, to find out what does work and what doesn’t work, because as I’m sure you’ve noticed the health and fitness industry is full of non-sense claims and BS. I found out what was true and what worked for me and applied that knowledge. And you bet I had fun during the whole process.
