Things to Consider
- 1.The treadmill bookends strength work with increasing and decreasing hills — consider treating the first block as a strength base-builder and the third block as a chance to build speed as the incline decreases, given your muscles are warmed up
- 2.The power block sandwiched between the two strength blocks offers a mental and physical shift; some members find it helpful to view the fixed all-outs as recovery from the hill work rather than maximum efforts
- 3.The floor block emphasizes explosive movements with short rest periods — one approach is to focus on power and speed rather than heavy weight selection, as the quick transitions demand efficient movement
- 4.The rowing block alternates between max-effort rows and lower-body plyometrics; you might pace the 100-meter rows strategically to ensure you have energy for the lunge jumps that follow
- 5.The blended rowing structure with the finisher builds cardiovascular demand late in the workout — consider pacing your plyometric rounds to preserve leg power for the final all-out row
