Combine Circuit
Demo video coming soon
How to Do It
Move through a circuit of varied stations — for example, jumps, sprints, carries, core, and pressing — performing each for a set time or reps with minimal rest between stations, then resting after a full round. Maintain quality on each movement while keeping the pace up. Complete the prescribed number of rounds.
Why It Works
Combines varied movement patterns and intensities into a continuous circuit, training general work capacity, full-body conditioning, and the ability to move well across different patterns under fatigue; the variety builds broad athletic conditioning rather than a single quality.
Hockey Transfer
Builds the general athletic conditioning and work capacity that support repeated efforts across a game, and the ability to perform varied movements (push, pull, sprint, jump) under fatigue — mirroring the varied physical demands of hockey.
Coaching Cues
- "Quality on every station"
- "keep the pace, minimal rest"
- "move well even when tired"
Common Mistakes
Sacrificing form for speed; resting too long between stations; pacing too easy (no conditioning stimulus)
Progression / Regression
more rounds, less rest, or harder stations
fewer rounds, more rest, or easier movements
Primary Muscles
Energy System
Glycolytic (mixed)
