Zone 7

25c air bike

Zone 7 provides a move that targets every joint in the body which means every muscle group in the body is working. Once the first 6 zones have been completed, there’s no question the body is warmed-up and ready for the start of what we call the DEKA Gateway which is Zones 7-10. Zone 7 requires every muscle group in the body and is arguably the toughest zone of all 10.

Zone 8

Zone 9

100M tank push/pull

Zone 9 provides a move that also targets the entire body with the back and forth pushing and pulling. This zone now puts the body in a situation where we build up to targeting the entire body with zones 1-6 and now the body is 3 zones into moves that require every joint and muscle group to complete the zone. The full body functional fitness test is almost complete.

Zone 10

20 ram burpee

Zone 10 provides arguably the most well-rounded strength training move ever used. The Spartan RAM Burpee requires a squat, lowering the body down to the ground, pressing the body off the ground, standing up while lifting the weight off the ground, and finishing by pressing the weight overhead. More than any other move in the zones, every joint and muscle group is used while also challenging the now fatigued body with extensive balance and coordination.
