Military Workout Tue 19 Apr 11

Metcon incorporating a breathing ladder.


Run 300m
1-10-1 Breathing Ladder


Round 1
Kettlebell Swing


Round 2
Medball Slam


Round 3
Burpees with a SAS bar (10,15 or 20kg metal bar)


Round 4
Thrusters


Round 5
10 reps of each exercise in rounds 1-4


Each round is concluded with the same exercise being conducted with a rope. As soon as the last person is on the rope doing the exercise for 30 seconds then the next round begins. Round 5 was concluded with mountain climbers whilst holding the rope.


Unfortunately a couple of people thought that they could cheat by not doing the required reps. This was addressed at the end of the session with a little remedial training to encourage greater compliance, adhesion and a friendly reminder that they are all responsible for their choices. This consisted of about 5 minutes of push ups and prone holds. It's the army, not a boot camp on a beach or in a park. You do not get to chose whether or not your going to do something without some form of ramification (within reason). Society has well and truly swung towards an attitude of rights, rather than responsibilities. Why should the armed forces lower their standards just because the rest of society has?
