My Actifit Report Card: March 7 2024

E = Endurance
S = Strength
P = Power

After resting the hamstring for two days I went in for the usual Orangetheory Fitness workout to start the day this morning knowing that I will have to hold back a lot for the next couple of weeks.

Either way, I want to make sure I keep active and there are still things I can do that are at a normal effort opposed to what I can't do outright and need to modify.

Of course, I go back on a day where along with the template there was a benchmark scheduled for today and wouldn't you know it was a challenge on the treadmills. Today was the 12 minute treadmill benchmark. Any benchmark on the treadmill will always be something I run or at the very least jog and never power walk not even during Everest.

Well, I had to humble myself and do the 12 minute treadmill challenge powerwalking it. I hate it, but I still got my cardio in.

Overall, my pace was below average and my stats was nowhere near what I expect from myself but I am committed to continue working out knowing that I have allow myself to heal and not get too intense doing it. I'll be fine.

I got in a good workout and intend to go in Friday morning and get in another workout as well as Saturday and rest the leg Sunday.

The session itself was a switch template.

The Work:

🍊🏃‍♀️Thursday, March 7, 2024 - including a 12 minute Treadmill Benchmark - 2G - 60 Minutes 🏋️‍♀️🔥

Got ready to push our limits and feel the burn with this incredible Orangetheory Fitness inspired workout! 💪

🏃‍♂️ Treadmill Primer Block:
Started our journey on the treadmill with a primer block to test our paces. We were challenged with 30 seconds each of a push, push to all-out, and an all-out, with 30-second walking recoveries in between. Felt the energy surge through our bodies as we prepared for the main event! 🔥

🌿 Floor Warm-Up:
Transitioned to the floor for a dynamic warm-up session. Engaged our core and activated our muscles with hinge and reaches, reverse lunges with torso rotations, and lateral hops with high knees. I had to modify the lateral hops with high knees and just kept it at high knees without the jump. Got our bodies primed and ready to crush the workout ahead! 💯

🏃‍♀️ 12-Minute Run Challenge:
Time for the main event! We had one minute to complete the warm-up or test our starting pace. Took a minute to walk, caught our breaths, and get in the zone. Then, it was go time! 🚦 We had 12 minutes to see how far we could push ourselves. Whether we chose the set-and-forget strategy or gradually increased our speed, we all aimed for a personal best! 🌟

Of course, whatever I would have gotten as a powerwalker would have been my automatic PR lol. I got up to .7 miles.

🦾 TRX Strength Block:
After the benchmark, it was time to hit the floor for a long strength block. Engaged our entire body with TRX exercises like alligators, tricep extensions, reciprocating low rows, bridges, and v-ups. This block was designed to challenge our muscles while providing a much-needed cool-down. No chest or shoulder presses in sight – just pure, targeted strength work! 💪

🚣‍♀️ Treadmill or Rower Round 2:
Here's where things got interesting! We had the choice to either repeat block 1 on the treadmill or switch things up on the rower. Would we push ourselves to new heights on the treadmills or test our endurance on the rower? The choice was ours! 🔥

I chose to go back on the treadmill because I'm cuckoo like that lol.

🧘‍♀️ Core Blast Finale:
We finished strong with a core-focused block designed by our coach as today's template included a Coach's Choice Core Blast of their choosing. Coach Alex hit us with dead bugs and superheroes to get our abs on fire! 🔥

I was disappointed that I couldn't put in the work I am accustomed to but proud to have gotten through the workout and maintained the composure to get through the session while being careful and still feeling accomplished.
