COMPETE : What Goes Up

What goes up, must come down. We're taking a page from our Firefighter Challenge for this workout today.

This is best done on outdoor stairs, especially if there is a landing large enough you can peel off and do work on (we tested this in our house though and it worked just fine with the exercise portion in a narrow hallway).

If you've done our FFC, you'll notice the time is shorter -- because you're carrying twice as much weight. If you (or your nerves) want to go longer, that's up to you. Be smart.

*If you get dizzy, stop.

* If your sandbag weight is too heavy, DROP WEIGHT. If you can't do that, add more weight to your ruck.

* ALWAYS hold a railing with one hand. Lean forward and dig in through your legs.

What gear do I need?

  • Ruck
  • Sandbag (do not pick your heaviest option.)
