⁉⁉ What are your Desert Island Workouts? ⁉⁉

until they make it one of the stages in the ToS. When they created it in 2017 for SUF Day in October that year it was gloriously horrible. Then, of course, GvA made it the closing stage of ToS 2018. Fun times. Fuuuun tiiiiimes :face_vomiting:

One-Hour Yoga Routine: I can split this into 4 15-minute segments to keep yoga in my life.

Full Body 20: Gotta stay toned for all those beach volleyball matches with Wilson.

French Pyrenees: Cirque du Litor: For when I need some jaw-dropping beauty in my life.

Steamroller: I’m going to have to keep running if I want to catch small animals.

Kitchen Sink: I can split this into three 1-hour workouts for variety.

@AlexEllermann good choices! Maybe add some swimming too since most of your food source will probably come from the water.

Sirs @AlexEllermann and @JSampson you two are so practical. I’d just be ordering Skip.

Love this and some awesome lists already. Really hard to pick just 5, but I’d go with:

• ISLAGIATT
• Pro Ride Mont Ventoux
• On Location Portugal Cascais to the Sintra Rainforest
• The Chores
• G.O.A.T

Ahh! Nice touch. Thanks!

Now I knew it wasn’t that. If it had been a doughnut/ donut I would have been worried …

My Favourite 5 would be:

  • The Shovel
    So much fun
  • 14 Vise Grips
    Anna is just awesome
  • Blender
    So much variety
  • It Seemed Like Thin Air
    Funny story makes the time fly
  • Team Scream
    I like this kind of effort, also nicely executed
  • The Chores
    Entertaining Storyline and great workout

Full Body 20 is a really smart choice Sir David!

Luckily I’m on an Island and don’t need Recharger :slight_smile:

  1. The Wretched, the intensity and the music are just right for me
  2. Revolver, this was my very first Sufferfest download and I still have the DVD I burned it to
  3. Violator, I am not a sprinter but I will be at that hamster one day!
  4. The Downward Spiral, the evil laugh still gives me shivers!
  5. Tour of Norway 1, I just love the immersion of the prorides and this is my favorite of those
    These could be in any order except The Wretched…it really is my go-to when I need motivation.

Having just done AWWWCC: MTB, I really want to add that into my list of Desert Island Workouts!

Reading OP, then answering before scrolling down to see others’ choices.

EOS
Micro Intervals 3 sets of 15 x30/15s
Endurance 3
Sub Thresh w/Surges 4x12
FF

Probably in that order too.

It seems like thin air (to get 2 in 1)

Blender

Cobbler

Rue the Day

Full frontal (you need to get your zones accurate :crazy_face:)

Having the big mashups, one would be able to skip to the relevant part for the day.

Looking at the responses, I’d quite happily be stranded on a remote island with anyone of you. There’s some lovely workouts there. :desert_island: :biking_man:

HHNF Great threshold workout and time flies by trying to keep up
Team Scream I can imagine really being part of the train pushing our limits
ISLIGIATT Favourie mountain workout
There is no Try Pushing the MAP
Fight Club OmG not another sprint!

HHNF purely for the lines ‘the monster is attacking’ and ‘we gouge out them eyes’

DAYT because of angry music and the I love my job’ line

AVDP because of the Mur de Huy and Polaris at Noon

GOAT because for some reason it doesn’t hurt

Downward Spiral because for some reason I always think it will be fine, and it isn’t

14 vice grips
This is one of my weaknesses…

9 hammers
Surely, needs no explanation

A very dark place
Just appeals to me. Pain. More pain. Pain.

Islagiatt
More pain! Longer! Awesome!

Revolver
Again… The thing I’m worst at. I have done this so many times and it still hurts.

Team scream
This was the first vid that felt really immersive. Love the format. And this particular mix I can abs nail.

And… Kitchen sink. Because 3 hours is a warm up :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: and I can’t count to 5
