Thank you Cobra Kai! Thank you for introducing me to the “Hawk Workout”. This is probably one of my favorite ruck workouts. It combines two of my favorite things. Running and Pain. And a Ruck. So three of my favorite things. Heads up from What Did that there would be an FNG but that he’s ex-Military, so he’d be good to go! Large crowd at Slowburn this morning and I was busy counting backpacks. Looks like we had 9 ruckers this morning. While the bootcamp would be moderate, the rucking was not. I give you, the Hawk Workout (named after AJ Hawk)

Mosey from Chick fil-A to the side of Baxter’s Bunch (man my kids miss that place). Warm up with a few SSH and Windmills, and then…

The Hawk Workout
Run 1 Mile (w/o ruck, two wide laps around Lowes)
Put Ruck On (Everything done with the ruck moving forward)
15 Burpees
50 Lunges (25 each leg)
25 Squats (Ruck Back)
30 GTOs (Ground to Overhead w/ Ruck)
25 Merkins
25 Squats (Ruck Front)
15 Burpees
Take Ruck Off
Run 1 Mile

This is an awesome workout and even though there were varying degrees of fitness, I requested that we do everything as a team. Because that’s what you do when you’re rucking. We moseyed to the street, cut left up to BP and then a quick left back to COT. We had 2 minutes left so we finished with 15 more ruck burpees while the bootcampers came rolling in.
