Segments to Improve

1. Wall Balls: Eleanor spent 00:07:27 on this segment, which was 01:43 slower than the average. To improve performance in this area, Eleanor should focus on developing her upper body strength and endurance. Specific exercises such as shoulder presses, push-ups, and medicine ball throws can help improve her performance in wall balls. Additionally, practicing proper form and technique, ensuring a full range of motion and efficient movement, will also contribute to better performance.

2. Roxzone: Eleanor spent 00:09:55 in the Roxzone, which was 01:27 slower than the average. To improve this segment, Eleanor should work on improving her overall fitness and transition time. Incorporating high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts, circuit training, and plyometric exercises can help improve her overall fitness level. Additionally, practicing quick transitions between exercises during training can help reduce time spent in the Roxzone during races.

3. Sandbag Lunges: Eleanor spent 00:06:16 on this segment, which was 00:29 slower than the average. To improve her performance in sandbag lunges, Eleanor should focus on developing lower body and core strength. Exercises such as squats, lunges, and deadlifts can help strengthen the muscles involved in sandbag lunges. Additionally, incorporating balance and stability exercises, such as single-leg exercises and core workouts, can help improve her form and stability during lunges.

4. Ski Erg: Eleanor spent 00:05:51 on this segment, which was 00:28 slower than the average.
