Army Workout
Continued from Military Workouts.
In each army workout, you’ll focus on four distinct areas: power, functional strength, cardiovascular fitness and skill training.
You’ll complete two power exercises, two functional exercises and one each for the other two areas.
Be warned though, the army workout is not for the faint of heart. And you definitely want to have medical clearance before you even think about doing any of the following exercises.
Army Workout Exercise Options
Power: Deadlift, power clean, hang clean, snatch.
Functional: Pull-up, dip, barbell row, medicine-ball overhead throw.
Cardio: StepMill, sprint, jump rope.
Skill: Shadowbox, heavy-bag work.
Sample Army Workout Routine Power clean, squat, pull-up, dip, jump rope, shadowbox; the duration of each exercise is 1 minute.
Perform all exercises in circular fashion, going from move to move with no rest in between. Rest for up to two minutes when all exercises have been completed. Aim to complete the entire circuit 2-3 times. Choose a weight that allows you to perform reps at a steady pace for the entire minute.
