Which exercise is typically included in the Floor Block?

The inclusion of push-ups in the Floor Block is based on the structure of Orangetheory Fitness workouts, where the Floor Block typically emphasizes strength training exercises that use body weight or free weights. Push-ups are a fundamental bodyweight exercise that targets multiple muscle groups, particularly the chest, shoulders, and triceps, while also engaging the core.

This exercise is commonly performed on the floor segment of the workout, emphasizing strength and muscular endurance. In contrast, running, cycling, and rowing are primarily cardio-focused activities that are usually found in the Treadmill and Rowing Blocks of the workout. Leaving strength-focused movements like push-ups to the Floor Block allows for a balanced workout that incorporates both strength and cardiovascular training throughout the session.
