This morning, our Orangetheory Fitness session focused on endurance and power, incorporating both treadmills and floor exercises. The session included the use of a BOSU ball on the floor, and yes, there were plenty of burpees to challenge us all.
Between the first and second, and between the third and fourth blocks, we had 75 seconds to recover. There was a longer, 90-second recovery period between the second and third blocks.
During the treadmill segments, we tackled the same blocks twice. Each first block combined endurance with bursts of power. We started with a three-minute push pace, followed by a minute at base pace. The next push was halved in duration, complemented by another base minute, then escalated to a minute of all-out effort. After a 75-second walking recovery, we faced two all-out periods: one lasting a minute and another for 30 seconds, with a 45-second recovery in between. This sequence was repeated for the third and fourth blocks. Our coach encouraged us to intensify our push efforts and maximize our output during the all-out periods. With limited recovery times—just brief walks and base paces—the session was intensely challenging.
I totaled 2.83 miles and kept my speeds as low at 6 miles per hour but maxed out at 9.9 miles per hour and still keeping true to not breaking into a double figure ALL OUT until next month.
The floor exercises mirrored the treadmill blocks in duration. The longer floor blocks were structured as high-repetition endurance workouts. In the first block, we performed chest presses while holding a bridge position with our feet on the BOSU, followed by a short rest, then moved onto full v-ups seated on the BOSU. Each set ended with an intense all-out rowing session to elevate our heart rates significantly.
The shorter blocks focused on power. In the initial short block, we did a minute of burpees, each followed by lifting the BOSU above our heads for a shoulder presses. We were tasked with counting our reps, as we aimed to match or exceed this number in the second round, which lasted for 30 seconds.
The third floor block revisited the structure of the first, but this time we performed low rows with a single dumbbell, supporting ourselves by resting a knee on the BOSU. This was followed by back extensions, then a return to the rows. In the subsequent shorter block, we incorporated burpees again, this time adding a plank jack at the bottom of each burpee.
I went with 35 pound dumbbells for the WEIGHTED exercises.
I rowed a total of 600 meters. Again, not a lot of rowing as they have kept it minimal this week and I'm sure it's because DRI-TRI is coming up this weekend and we rowed our faces off last week. Usually there is a healthy amount of rowing in an Orangetheory session.
With that said, I hit a high of 478 WATTS OF POWER and a high of 14.2 miles per hour rowing speed.
I also added an extra challenge by jumping with the BOSU burpee exeercises.
Today's workout was a rigorous blend of endurance and power, thoroughly testing our limits as a group in both cardio and strength disciplines.
I burned 777 calories!
