"Virtues in Motion" is a partner-based stamina and strength workout that combines gymnastics control, kettlebell stamina, and rowing for max calories. Partners alternate full rounds, creating a cycle of intense work followed by short recovery. Success depends on fast, consistent rounds and aggressive calorie accumulation once the 12 rounds are complete.

Goal: Complete 50/40+ calories on the rower after finishing the 12 rounds

Primary Objective: Complete each round between 1:10–1:30

Secondary Objective: Maintain 18/14+ calories per minute during the row

Stimulus: Strict gymnastics endurance, grip and shoulder stamina, aerobic power

RPE: 8/10

Focus: Efficient strict gymnastics sets, quick kettlebell cycling, strong pacing on the row

Key focus areas:

Stay tight and efficient on strict HSPUs and pull-ups to avoid burnout

Move quickly through the kettlebell swings without redlining

Transition onto the rower immediately after finishing the 12 rounds
