Segments to Improve
1. Burpees Broad Jump: Elisa's time of 00:06:04 is slower than the average by 00:38. To improve this segment, she can focus on enhancing her explosive power and agility. Incorporating exercises such as box jumps, plyometric push-ups, and lateral jumps can help improve her burpees broad jump performance. Additionally, practicing proper form and technique during the jump can also contribute to faster and more efficient movements.
2. Roxzone: Elisa's time of 00:06:43 in the Roxzone is slower than the average by 00:28. This segment focuses on transitions and overall fitness. To improve her Roxzone time, Elisa should work on improving her overall fitness level through cardiovascular training and strength conditioning. Implementing high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts and circuit training can help improve her endurance and speed during transitions.
3. Farmers Carry: Elisa's time of 00:02:40 in the Farmers Carry is slower than the average by 00:22. To improve her performance in this segment, she should focus on building grip strength and overall upper body strength.
