A Powerful Start with a Strong Ending

This morning’s Orangetheory Fitness workout was endurance-focused under the orange lights, featuring inclined running on the treads.

On the floor, we had three blocks. The first block included four exercises: two power moves with dumbbells and two exercises using the Bosu ball. The power moves were a goblet reverse lunge into a knee drive and a high pull with power. For the Bosu ball, we did side-to-side pushups and bicycle crunches. The timing was well-structured; I managed to complete two rounds but could see how three rounds would be possible with a quicker pace.

The second block involved a three-round circuit with decreasing reps, featuring plank pops using the Bosu ball and speed skaters. Once completed, we moved on to mountain climbers using the Bosu. Most participants finished around the halfway mark, so pacing was key to avoid endless mountain climbers.

The final block mirrored the first, but included skier swings, single-arm thrusters, Bosu scaptions, and alternating full v-ups. The finisher required an increase in speed and intensity.

We had three treadmill blocks today. The first and last blocks mirrored each other with minute-long push efforts mixed with base paces. The first block started on a flat road, with each push effort increasing the incline. The last block began at a 5% incline, working downward, and ended with a minute of all-out effort. The goal was to maintain the push pace while using the base pace for recovery.

The middle treadmill block was a challenge: starting at an 8% incline, we gradually increased it until we couldn’t run anymore, sustaining this effort for three minutes to test our limits.
