Inclines and Tempo Triplets - My Actifit Report Card: November 17 2023

E = Endurance
S = Strength
P = Power

Tiffany and I started our Friday morning or how I like to reiterate FriYAY like we consistently do and that is another workout under the orange lights. Let’s face it, that is most mornings lol.

Coach Mariah managed the 5am crew through today’s template like she always do - LIKE A BOSS! She doesn’t coach Orangetheory as much since she stepped down as Head Coach, but we are so happy when we get to workout for her on Fridays and it’s always at our home studio OTF Nona North.

Tomorrow, Tiffany and I will be heading out to OTF Apopka which will be our second visit to that OTF studio. The weekends are our opportunity to workout out at Orangetheory Fitness studious further out and we take full advantage.

Today was another great Orangetheory workout, with a focus on strength during the treadmill segments and endurance on the floor, topped off with some intense rowing sessions.

The floor exercises really challenged us today, especially with the tempo triplets. We started with a series of squats combined with shoulder presses, paused for a bit, and then did more squats. This was followed by a quick, intense rowing session before moving on to chest presses. The second part of the floor workout eliminated the rowing but included TRX rows and a core-focused segment.

I used 20, 25 and 35 pound dumbbells for the (weighted) excercises.

On the rower I fell short of 1000 meters, but there wasn’t a huge amount of time included in the template for it. I did hit a high of 436 WATTS OF POWER at a high of 13.7 mile per hour rowing speed.

On the treadmill, we faced six incline challenges. The steepest incline was 6%, and while we mostly stayed at our base pace, each hill segment ended with a push at the highest incline. The pattern was starting at base pace, gradually increasing the incline every 30 seconds, and culminating with a 30-second push at 6%. As we progressed, each round eliminated the lowest incline level, with the final round being a straight 30 seconds at base followed by a 30-second push, both at 6%.

The workout concluded with a 30-second push and a 30-second all-out effort at a 1% incline, which felt surprisingly manageable after the earlier challenges. Coach Mariah encouraged us to return to our base pace between each segment, but I think most of us ended up taking a 90-second walking break to recover.

I totaled 2.4 miles which isn’t so deflating because afterall most of if was on inclines % and I did ran a 10.5 mile per our ALL OUT to finish it up.

I burned 598 calories.
