An Endurance Juggernaut with Some Power

S = Strength
P = Power
I participated in an Orangetheory Fitness group workout this morning that focused on endurance, with a touch of power on the treadmills. The floor work offered a choice between lifting more weights or spending more time rowing, and we finished off with an intense core session.
The workout was a great blend of endurance and power. On the treadmills, we tackled an inverse pyramid of push intervals to build endurance, followed by all-out sprints to finish strong. On the floor, we were given the option to focus on either more strength training (by increasing reps) or rowing (with a steady distance).
The treadmill portion began with a longer endurance block. We kicked things off with a two-minute push, followed by a 90-second base pace. Each push interval got shorter, decreasing by 30 seconds each round, with the same amount of base in between. As the push intervals shortened, we were expected to pick up the speed. Once we reached the 30-second push, we repeated the sequence and then climbed back up the pyramid, using our new, faster paces.
On the floor, we worked through four rounds of member's choice. The workout featured six exercises: low rows, push-ups, lateral lunges, hip hinge swings, squat to Y-raises, and high pulls with power. We started with 12 reps of each exercise, followed by a 500-meter row. For the remaining three rounds, we could either stick with 12 reps and reduce the rowing distance by 100 meters each time, or lower the reps by 2 each round while keeping the rowing distance consistent.
To wrap things up, we had a core-focused block that included high plank to low plank transitions and bicycle crunches. We did three rounds of this in two and a half minutes, finishing with a low plank hold until time was up.
It was a great mix of endurance, power, and core strength that left me feeling accomplished!
I burned 682 calories, totaled 2.7 miles on the treadmill and rowed 1,421 meters in distance.
