Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Endurance (7/10): Five rounds combining heavy kettlebell swings and SDHP with bodyweight movements and Assault Bike calories. This creates a good mixed-modal cardiovascular challenge.
- Stamina (7/10): Cycling heavy KB swings and SDHP (70/53 lb), along with push-ups and sit-ups, for 5 rounds tests muscular endurance in the posterior chain, shoulders, pushing muscles, and core. Bike adds to leg stamina demand.
- Power (7/10): Kettlebell swings and SDHP are explosive movements. Assault Bike sprints demand high power output.
- Strength (6/10): Kettlebell swings and SDHP at 70/53 lbs are a heavy load, testing strength endurance. Push-ups test relative pushing strength endurance.
- Speed (5/10): Efficient transitions between movements and maintaining a good pace on the bike and high-rep exercises contribute to overall time.
- Flexibility (3/10): Requires hip hinge for KB swings/SDHP, and basic mobility for lunges, push-ups, sit-ups, and biking.
