All the workout can be done outside this morning, no gym time today. We are going to max out on pushups, sit-ups, and crunches today before we head back out on the rucking trails. There is no time limit on any of the exercises, obviously, the goal is to get them done as quickly as […]

Friday, that must mean its Leg Day at the gym but instead of a run at the finish of that, we’ll substitute the Shuttle run in there, to work on your speed today. If you have a sled at your disposal use that, if not carry your training partner in a Fireman’s carry. Some of […]
