This morning, our Orangetheory Fitness group tackled a challenging 23-minute reverse pyramid strength segment on the treadmills. We focused on endurance with continuous climbing on the benches, and fortunately, there was no rowing in the second group session today. Throughout the workout, we had 90-second recovery periods between each floor block. Our main objective was to break free from the "climbing zombie" mindset by employing a reverse pyramid approach to incline training and performing nonstop step-ups on the bench while holding dumbbells. We began with a distance-based tread buy-in for a few minutes. After completing the buy-in, we increased the incline to 15% for one minute, maintaining whatever speed we could sustain. As the workout progressed, the incline gradually decreased with varying durations: 30 seconds each at 13% and 12%, followed by 45 seconds at 10%, and so on, with the incline levels continuing to drop over each round. Eventually, we returned to a flat surface for a two-minute run before ascending the incline levels again—3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 9%, 12%, and finally 15% for one minute—culminating in an all-out final minute. This intense tread block was one of the toughest, comparable to tackling Everest, but we appreciated the brief respite before the next climb, making it even more rewarding than our usual Orange Everest challenge. Next, we moved to the floor blocks, which were entirely endurance-focused with extended buy-ins each round. Each buy-in consisted of two minutes of stepping exercises while holding dumbbells, testing our grip strength with no rest in between. The first block involved step-ups to a knee raise with dumbbells, the second featured full lateral step-ups, and the last block included standard step-ups. Following each buy-in, we performed endurance movements: the first block targeted shoulders and low rows, the second utilized TRX straps for pull-ups and bridge rows, and the final block focused on chest and reverse flies. To finish the session, we opted for more step-ups, choosing from any of the previous variations for a one-minute finisher. This comprehensive workout effectively combined strength and endurance, pushing us to our limits while maintaining the quintessential Orangetheory Fitness spirit.
