This morning's Orangetheory session brought the heat once again with one of our signature specialty templates from back in July—but with a twist that kept the intensity fresh and challenging.
We started by breaking out the heavy weights for our floor work while reserving the treadmills exclusively for the run/row intervals. The spotlight was on our power run/row block, where we tackled two rounds of each distance goal. The first round had us charging through a 0.25 mile push run followed by a 10-stroke row. As the rounds progressed, the running distance dropped by 0.5 miles each time, ramping up the pace and forcing us to increase our stroke count on the rower.
Switching to the floor segment, the session was equally explosive. We kicked things off with a warm-up primer, doing 20 chest presses and 20 goblet sumo squats with lighter weights, squatting over benches to ensure full range of motion. Next, a core circuit featuring low side planks had us really engaging those obliques.
Then came the grueling two blocks that really pushed our limits. The first block focused on heavy chest presses performed to the point of fatigue, with a 20-second recovery interval before repeating the effort for a total of two and a half minutes. A one-minute break then allowed us to gear up for the next round—this time with lighter weights for higher reps. The second block mirrored this intensity with sumo goblet squats, challenging our lower body muscles in the same relentless fashion.
We closed out the session with a final core blast, wrapping up an intensely rewarding workout that perfectly captures the Orangetheory spirit.
