The thang

Ladder concept…run to a cone and do the reps assigned at the cones. Go back to the start do 5 squats and then go to the next cone etc…

Exercises were merkins and LBCs

Also had a burpee whistle blown at my discretion. 3 burpees each time.

So the cones were lined up at the distance from “home”

So .05 was cone 1…. .10 was cone 2 etc… all the way to cone .25.

We were able to wrap up with most getting to 2.5-3.0 miles and everyone got 150 LBCs and 150 Merkins. Thanks to Rosie for the opportunity!!!

YHC was a bit off from the later start time but good to have some built in “disruption” on occasion to build our durability.

The message left with the PAX with was:
The best fruits of this life are an unstained character and acts for the common good. As leaders, what are we doing to cultivate the former and initiate the latter?

Thanks for the call <@U78QN5XU5> . :eye:

Spoke on 5 core principles, all equally weighted however COT, it sets us apart from every other workout group.
Spoke on Mission statement, are we a workout group???
Spoke on Visions statement, be real about picking up the 6. Make it a point to offer an encouraging push. That next man may need it more than you know.

Appreciate the Q and the continual cross pollination between our 2 regions with all these HIMs. I encourage RH pax to take a trip north and you Fort pax to take a trip south every so often. A little flavor in your bland weekly routine is good every so often #zesty.

4×4 around the Dragon’s Den

Get Max Heart Rate

What Is My Maximum Heart Rate?
As you exercise, your heart rate will elevate. Your maximum heart rate is:

220 minus your age

Training with a heart rate above this level can be dangerous. It is advised to work at a level that suits your fitness levels and heart health.

The Norwegian 4×4 workout outlines a target heart rate of 85%-95% of your max heart rate. If you don’t have a fitness tracker that measures heart rate, aim to push yourself to a level of exertion that is 8 or 9 out of 10, where talking feels challenging.

4×4 Workout
To complete the Norwegian 4×4 workout:

Warm-up

Complete a low-intensity warm-up for 10 minutes. This could be a light jog and dynamic stretches.

Intervals

4 minutes each interval of a cardio exercise of choice, at 85-95% of your maximum heart rate. This could be running, swimming, rowing, cycling or high-intensity bodyweight exercises. If you’re running, this could be your 5k or 10k pace.

Active recovery

3 minutes rest of low-intensity activity like brisk walking or jogging, taking your heart rate down to 60-70% of your max heart rate.

Repeat

For a total of 4 high-intensity intervals and rests.

Cool down

Bring down your heart rate slowly, then stretch.
