Open in Fiz

Taper Primer is a for time workout by Fiz, built from 3 movements, with a 20 mins cap. It is set at intermediate level.

How to approach Taper Primer

Taper Primer loads the quads, glutes, calves and hamstrings hardest. Cardiovascular system, upper back and core take a share of the work too. Go out slower than feels natural: the opening effort is the one you can most afford to give away, and the positions you protect early are what you'll still have at the end.

Taper Primer is scored on total time: the clock stops when the last rep is done, and a faster time ranks higher. A 20 mins cap applies, so anything unfinished at the buzzer is where your score lands.
