Incorporating exercises such as plyometric training, box jumps, and agility ladder drills will help enhance his ability to perform the burpees broad jump quickly and efficiently.
4. Sandbag Lunges (00:06:01, 00:37 slower than average): Odelle Burke should work on improving his strength and endurance in his lower body to perform better in the sandbag lunges segment. Incorporating exercises such as weighted lunges, step-ups, and squats will help build the necessary strength and endurance.
5. Ski Erg (00:04:51, 00:23 slower than average): Odelle Burke should focus on improving his technique and efficiency on the Ski Erg. Practicing proper form and incorporating interval training on the Ski Erg will help him improve his performance in this segment.
