A Power Run/Row and Strong & Stable Floor Blocks

S = Strength
P = Power

Today’s Orangetheory session was all about power with a dynamic Run/Row combination, paired with strong and stable endurance exercises using the BOSU on the floor.

We wrapped up the session with an intense core blast selected by the coach!

Our Run/Row portion lasted 23 and a half minutes, structured around four powerful rounds—two on the treadmill and two on the rower—that challenged us to complete them efficiently so we could return promptly to the treadmill for extra distance. We started by pushing ourselves through two treadmill intervals, each covering 0.2 miles, moving from a challenging push pace up to an all-out effort, briefly recovering with a walk in between. Immediately afterward, we transitioned onto the rower to complete two rounds of intense 200 meter all-out rows. Once finished, we returned to the treadmill at a pace of our choosing until the next segment began. This first segment allowed us a generous 10 minutes to complete all four rounds.

Each subsequent segment became shorter and more intense. We had 8 minutes for the next portion, with slightly reduced distances for both the running and rowing intervals. The final segment was just five and a half minutes, ending decisively with a challenging 30-second all-out push.

On the floor, we tackled two distinct blocks. The first and longest block, lasting 19 minutes, featured multiple rounds emphasizing stability and strength using the BOSU. We started off by pairing squats with forward lunges, completing three challenging rounds. Then we continued with hammer curls transitioning directly into shoulder presses, followed by kneeling front raises—many of us opted for lighter weights here, as the 12 reps quickly became demanding. Finally, we shifted our focus more towards core strength, performing double crunches and high plank pull-throughs. This block was designed to fully occupy our workout time, but for those who powered through quickly, there was an added bonus of repeating all the exercises once more.

The final floor block was a special three-minute core challenge—Coach’s Choice. Our coach, Tae, had us perform bicycle crunches paired with a core-strengthening exercise of his choosing. Her pick for today was Palms to Elbows High Planks, elevated by placing our toes on the BOSU, giving us an extra stability challenge to close out the workout.
