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.)
