Ranger Workout of the Week

This is our last week of work capacity training. Next week we will perform some traditional strength training with a twist. This week I do have a special workout for you on Friday. We will resistance train on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, perform interval running on Tuesday and Thursday, perform a long run on Saturday and rest on Sunday. As always, perform a dynamic warm up prior to all training and a static stretch after your workout. These workouts will be short and intense. Good luck, have fun and train with a purpose. NO EXCUSES! JUST RESULTS! Train hard and smart and God Bless!

Friday: Special Workout30/30/30

This is a top 10 Pro Performance workout. The kettlebell weight you choose will determine the intensity of the workout. Choose a heavy kettlebell weight and perform the squats with the same weight. Use this same weight for power pulls as well. Choose a weight slightly lighter for your renegade rows. It is very important that your transition from the 1st to the 2nd exercise is quick. The exercises have been combined in a way that this can be done easily. We us a buzzer for this workout. The buzzer sounds and you begin the workout. When the buzzer sounds after 30 seconds, you transition to the 2nd exercise. When it sounds the 3rd time, you will rest for 30seconds. Continue to the next series when the buzzer sounds. Perform 4 rounds. This will be a 30 minute workout.

KETTLEBELL SWINGS/ZERCHER SQUATS
