Endured the Bear Planks on ESP Day - My Actifit Report Card: December 14 2024

Endured the Bear Planks on ESP Day

Saturday, December 24, 2024 - 2G - 60 minutes

E = Endurance
S = Strength
P = Power

This morning’s Orangetheory workout focused on endurance on the treadmills and paired, back-to-back strength movements on the floor—complete with challenging bear plank variations.

On the tread, we worked through eight one-minute push intervals, each followed by a two-minute base. The final push flowed straight into a one-minute all-out segment. The key was to slightly increase our push pace each round, so we started conservatively and steadily built speed throughout the block.

Over on the floor, we had two main blocks. In each block, we faced two consecutive exercises separated by a variation of the bear plank.

In the first block, we performed a single-arm high row followed immediately by L-raises, targeting our shoulders and back. We then held a bear plank before moving into the next set, which included full lateral step-ups followed by a squat-hold lateral walk.

The second block was longer and introduced another pair of back-to-back exercises: sumo deadlifts combined with half-kneeling single-arm shoulder presses. After completing these, we tackled bear plank-to-high plank kick-throughs before taking on a one-minute row build. We repeated these cycles until the finisher, which gave us the choice of either a one-minute all-out row or one minute of our preferred bear plank variation.
