Today we honor those men and women that currently protect our freedom.  Those who have fallen protecting our freedom.  Those who have served to protect our freedom.  We will put ourselves in an uncomfortable situation.  One where you will question, "Why are we doing this?"  It is then that you need to think about the person next to you.  Inspire them with your effort.  Inspire them with your desire to help the team by helping themselves.  Push through the mental "I can't" hurdle in your life, and be your best you.  Please take the time and watch this speech by Admiral McRaven.  Remember, "Don't ever ring the bell."

Warm up with joint mobility, dynamic movement, and foam roller.  Today we are going to hit a 5-4-3-2-1 strength workout.  Just 3 exercises, but a lot of bang for your buck.  It will hit the whole body.  This is a great compliment to the endurance training session from yesterday.  Make sure that you use moderately challenging weight here.  Not too easy.. Not too hard..

3 Rounds
each exercise is done for 5-4-3-2-1 reps

Clean and Jerk
Dips
Pull ups

Cool down, have a nice day..  El Rey and Manny always..

Warmup with joint mobility, dynamic movement, and foam roller.  Today gonna head down to the dungeon and hit the heavy bag.  I always like to change things up every now and then.  Plus punching the heavy bag relieves a lot of stress and is a helluva workout.  Timed sets plus some calisthenics make for a great training session.

10 Rounds
1 minute heavy bag (punch, kick, knee, elbow)
10 squat thrust / sit-outs
10 sit-ups
5 tuck jumps

work on head/hand stands, back bridges, hand stand push-ups 

Cool down, have a nice day..  El Rey and Manny always..

Warmup with joint mobility, dynamic movement, and foam roller.  Today we are going to do some HIIT interval training.  The twist is what exercises we will do will be drawn from the grab bag.  One thing is certain, ropes will be included.  It is a fun way to mix things up.  Write down several different exercises body weight, kettlebell, running, or barbell, and put them into a bag.  Pick a couple out, and you have your circuit. You can make your intervals as long or as short as you would like.  We are going to go with a 2:1 ratio of work to rest.  Pick 5 exercises (including ropes) out of the bag for 5 rounds of 30 seconds on 15 seconds to switch stations.  Have fun with it.

Cool down, have a nice day..  El Rey and Manny always..

Warmup with joint mobility, dynamic movement, and foam roller.  Today we are going to hit a Kettlebell and Bulgarian Bag timed circuit doing as many reps as possible within each interval.  Focus on form and quality reps rather than speed.  The good news is the session is 20 minutes, the bad news is that once you start, there is no rest..
