Segments to Improve

1. Burpees Broad Jump: Antonio took 01:22 longer than the average time in this segment. To improve his performance, he should focus on increasing his explosive power and upper body strength. Incorporating exercises such as plyometric push-ups, squat jumps, and broad jumps into his training routine will help improve his power output and speed in this segment. Additionally, practicing efficient form and technique for burpees will help reduce transition time.

2. Roxzone: Antonio spent 01:18 longer than the average time in the transition zones. To improve this segment, he should work on improving his overall fitness and reducing transition time. Incorporating high-intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions into his training routine will help improve his cardiovascular endurance and overall fitness level. Additionally, practicing quick and efficient transitions during training sessions will help reduce time spent in the Roxzone.

3. Sandbag Lunges: Antonio took 00:42 longer than the average time in this segment.
