I don’t have a bike/ski-erg/sandbag/you-name-it. What do I do?

Option 1: If you only have 1 or 2 machines/implements but have a larger class, you can consider running heats or modifying the workout to a partner/team variation so everyone gets exposure to the implement. You can also use your warm-up or skill work as an opportunity for athletes to mess around with odd objects or machines without worrying about slowing a workout down.

Option 2: If you don’t have the implement or machine at all, use what you do have to meet the desired stimulus of the workout or movement. A rower or slam ball is fairly similar to a Ski Erg, and a power clean is fairly similar to a sandbag clean. When in doubt, meet the intended stimulus and use comparable movement patterns and you will be just fine.
