Segments to Improve
1. Sled Pull: Lisa's time of 00:12:38 for the Sled Pull segment was 04:45 slower than the average. To improve in this area, she should focus on building strength in her upper body and core. Incorporating exercises such as pull-ups, bent-over rows, and planks can help improve her performance in the Sled Pull. Additionally, practicing proper technique and finding efficient ways to move the sled can also contribute to faster times.
2. Wall Balls: Lisa's time of 00:10:19 for the Wall Balls segment was 03:38 slower than the average. To improve in this area, she should focus on building lower body and core strength. Exercises such as squats, lunges, and medicine ball throws can help improve her performance in Wall Balls. It is also important to focus on maintaining proper form and technique during this segment to maximize efficiency.
3. Roxzone: Lisa's time of 00:13:06 for the Roxzone segment was 03:19 slower than the average. To improve in this area, Lisa should work on improving her overall fitness and transition time. Incorporating high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts and practicing quick transitions between exercises can help improve her performance in the Roxzone. Additionally, focusing on improving cardiovascular endurance through running and other aerobic exercises will contribute to faster overall times.
4. Ski Erg: Lisa's time of 00:06:33 for the Ski Erg segment was 00:59 slower than the average. To improve in this area, she should focus on building upper body and core strength. Exercises such as rowing, push-ups, and planks can help improve her performance on the Ski Erg. It is also important to practice proper technique and find an efficient rhythm on the machine to maximize speed.
5. Rowing: Lisa's time of 00:06:22 for the Rowing segment was 00:24 slower than the average. To improve in this area, she should focus on building upper body and core strength, as well as improving her cardiovascular endurance.
