Segments to Improve

1. Sled Pull: Kristin lost significant time in the Sled Pull segment, finishing 03:11 slower than the average. To improve in this area, she should focus on building strength and power in her legs and upper body. Exercises such as deadlifts, squats, and sled pushes can help improve her pulling strength. Additionally, practicing proper technique and form during the sled pull will be beneficial. She should focus on engaging her core, maintaining a strong grip on the sled, and using her legs to generate power.

2. Sandbag Lunges: Kristin also struggled in the Sandbag Lunges segment, finishing 00:51 slower than the average. To improve in this area, she should focus on building endurance and stability in her legs. Exercises such as lunges, squats, and step-ups can help improve her leg strength and stability.
