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.

ii.

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.

iii.

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"
v.

Common Mistakes

Sacrificing form for speed; resting too long between stations; pacing too easy (no conditioning stimulus)

vi.

Progression / Regression

Progression

more rounds, less rest, or harder stations

Regression

fewer rounds, more rest, or easier movements
