Today's workout felt like strength training on the treadmills, though it definitely had the intensity and feel of a power session. Over on the floor, we tackled a load-and-explode format, and finished strong at the rowers with some dynamic 10-stroke builds.
We started with four distinct treadmill blocks.
The first three treadmill blocks emphasized pushes combined with incline challenges, while our final block was purely about short, intense 30-second all-outs. The structure of the initial three was straightforward: we ran through four intervals, each consisting of a 30-second push pace immediately followed by a 45-second base pace, and concluded each block with a 30-second all-out effort. We began at a 3% incline and increased our incline by 1% each time we returned to the push pace, eventually reaching 6%. For each subsequent treadmill block, we reset and started again at a slightly lower incline.
The final treadmill segment had us performing rapid-fire all-outs. We began with a 30-second maximal effort at a 4% incline, followed by a brief 30-second walking recovery, then repeated the sprint intervals, each time dropping our incline slightly lower.
Today's floor section was condensed into one intense 19-minute block because we ended our session at the rower. The floor exercises were organized into four pairs, each with two rounds in a load-and-explode format. Our first exercise combination had us alternating between toe taps and speed skaters. Next, we performed bird dog low rows and explosive low rows. After that, we switched between single-leg bridges and skier swings. Lastly, we finished our floor work with pivoting single-arm shoulder presses followed by alternating shoulder presses.
Our final block took place at the rowers, where we pushed ourselves through several challenging 10-stroke builds. We initiated each set with 5 powerful strokes at push pace, then exploded into 5 strokes at an all-out intensity, aiming for maximum distance.
To wrap up the workout, our finisher was a final, intense 30-second all-out rowing effort, leaving us feeling accomplished and energized.
