GRIT day was brutal, awesome and as strange as it may sound, a lot of fun. Not a single quitter showed up. Everyone put out and performed with a ton of heart and effort.
Here’s the AAR (After Action Review) including movements made along with some of the math to figure out just how much of X, Y or Z was done.
Movement 1
The MOG
- With ruck, perform 20 walking lunges
- Drop ruck, run to base (330m from start),
- Perform first exercise at base,
- Run back to ruck, repeat, working down / repeating exercise list until all 330m have been lunged
Base exercises
- burpees x20
- squats x40
- pushups x30
- flutter kicks x50 (4-count)
- dips x30
- burps x30
- situps x30
