Summer Burn| Week 5 Day 1: Power + Athleticism

Week 5: Repeating week 2 this week and adding in progressive overload, either through load, volume or tempo! Today's session is a similar to last week yet different. You will repeat exercises but the workout itself, is different! It allows repetition with a change up. Yes, burpees are challenging, but they're intentionally included because they require excellent core control while engaging your entire body. They rapidly elevate your heart rate, supporting our current focus on cardiovascular health and building sustainable endurance. Multiple weekly sessions of explosive movement/plyos training serves multiple purposes. One, building movement confidence through repetition, two, maximizing ATP utilization for energy efficiency, and three preserving athleticism as we age. Bonus: these high-impact movements boost bone density alongside our strength exercises. Our warm-ups and cool-downs now integrate targeted hip flexor and ankle mobility work to enhance your plyometric performance. This focused mobility preparation will improve your explosive power, landing mechanics, and overall joint stability during the demanding movements in today's session.
