Preblast #TheStorm

Come out Tuesday to the Storm for a baseline test on some functional exercises. Well start with a timed one mile run, then max pull ups (if pull ups aren’t an option, do flexed arm hang), followed by 2 minutes of push ups, sit ups, and air squats.

All exercises after the run will be scored by a partner for correct form and reps completed. Any questions about form can be answered pretty simply by a Google search of us army and marine pt standards, but all of this will be demonstrated on Tuesday.

We will log this assessment and complete another test in 6-8 weeks to track our gains. Come get some.

Partner up for Bear Crawl (Pax 1)  / Lunge Walk (Pax 2) for length of football field – partners stay together and switch exercise every 30 seconds.  Plank in end zone for the 6.  Recover and take a lap around goal posts, the back COP.

From COP, spread out in large circle (at least 5 yards between each Pax).  Pax get in alternating hi or low plank position.  Pax 1 jumps over the low plank and dives/crawls under high plank all the way around circle…. followed by Pax 2, then Pax 3, etc… continues until everyone completes the circuit and is back in starting position.  Similar to tunnel of love, but less loving.
