Segments to Improve
- Roxzone: Matt's Roxzone time was slower than average, indicating he may have taken longer to rest or transition between exercise zones.

Specific drills such as practicing quick transitions between exercises in circuit training could be beneficial.
- Burpees Broad Jump: This segment was one of Matt's weakest, with a time of 00:05:05, 00:45 slower than average. To improve, Matt should incorporate more plyometric exercises into his routine, focusing on explosive power. Box jumps and weighted burpees could be beneficial.
- Wall Balls: Matt's Wall Balls segment was slower than average, indicating a need for improved power and coordination. Incorporating more functional full-body strength training, such as kettlebell swings and thrusters, will help. Additionally, practicing the specific movement of wall balls with varying weights can improve form and efficiency.
