Had my response team training hard today with some body weight movements: bear crawls forwards and backwards, all types of pull up variations, pushups, kick throughs, squat thrusts, Turkish getups and gear bag carries. Lots of functional and practical movements that a lot of the members never do. Many of them are still stuck in that bodybuilding, I'm gonna train one body part a day type training. Well, that type of training does not carry over into what these team members may need to do if responding to an incident. Same goes with all of you out there. If you do not know what to do or where to start, ask!! Train the right way for what you may encounter in everyday life people. That's what I love teaching and instructing in. Functional movements to build real world strength, conditioning and all around BAD ASS INDIVIDUALS!!
MORE TO COME!

WORKOUT
We did the following for 10 minutes straight:
3 pull ups
20 yard bear crawl
5 push ups
walk to beginning (this is your rest)
Short rest period (2-3 minutes)
We did the following for 10 minutes straight:
20 yard gear bag carry (carry the bag any way to complete the distance)
5 squat thrusts with kick throughs to each side
5 minutes of weighted turkish get ups (NO REST!!)
*Video of kick throughs. Great for balance, coordination, and core activation.
