Guys, Triples are absolutely fabulous for getting in your E work in a sport specific way. I don't hear much chatter about them. If you're a fighter-- use them! This one works well for us:
Jump Rope x 5
Battle Ropes x 10
Run x 10
Shadow Box x 5
x 1 - 2 rounds
Simple. Effective. Good to switch it up with LSS runs once in a while so your legs don't feel flat in the ring when you spar.

Re: Don't Overlook Triples
Something I found as an awesome way to get a 45 minute aerobic session in without becoming bored was descending ladder alternating pieces of kit.
Equipment used: Rower / AD6 / Skipping Rope
Protocol: 5 mins / 4 / 3 / 2 / 1 minute.
Do 5 on each pice of kit, straight into 4 mins on each etc until you've done 1 minute of each. No rest between stations or between times. Work to a heart rate or 'feel'.
Unless there's a reason for 45 minute work on one piece of kit, this gave me 45 min of cardio work without becoming a brain frying monotonous trudge on a rower or AD....no need for Netflix.....
Working this time protocol between just 2 pieces of kit would give you 30 minutes work; 4 pieces would result in 60 mins of work without becoming bored out of your head. Get some good tunes going and you're laughing.

Re: Don't Overlook Triples
Thank you. I have been thinking to give it a try. My basement ceiling is too low for rope skipping. So, I have been thinking of doing something like:
- Airbike/Step-ups/Shadow boxing - 10min each. 2 Cycles.
Something like that.
BTW, my wife is pretty sure that cleaning whole house non-stop with carrying HR monitor will give you nice LSS workout.

Re: Don't Overlook Triples
A lot of great ideas, here!
As for battle ropes, where's a good spot to purchase or order from? I use them at jiu jitsu for our conditioning sessions but I'd like to purchase some at some point.

Couldn't agree more on the triples Doc. Here's one that barely feels like work for me:
Leisurely cycle to pool - 10 minutes
Easy laps - 10-20 minutes
Cycle back home - 10 minutes
Optional - drop the bike off and go for a 10 minute jog
The time flies and I love the variety.
