Marc Spataro's Moto Pro Training Women’s ATV Fitness Challenge
::Continued::

After a small break the group was introduced to a new piece of equipment called a Powermax 360. Using ominkinetic resistance, this device delivers forces to muscle fibers never allowing them to rest throughout the exercise. Multiple movements can be performed on the machine and no other piece of equipment on the market can mimic the type of forces placed on the body like those experienced while racing an ATV. The challenge was to perform a given movement at the maximum out put for 30 seconds. Each racer performed a total of 8 movements.

Moving on to the next task the ladies were introduced to thick rope training. Using two different 30 ft marine ropes the group had to dynamically raise and lower the heaviest rope 25 times as fast as possible. From there they had to move directly to the next smaller sized rope and perform individual raises 50 times. Each participant had to do the event three times and all succeeded with encouragement from group.

Another challenge utilizing a rope was a horizontal plank to vertical rope climb. Athletes start by lying on the floor and pull themselves hand over hand up the rope into a vertical standing position and then lower themselves back down for five repetitions. Another great grip and upper body strength exercise the ladies did extremely well with this challenge.
