These simple, low-intensity movements cue your core, open your spine, and prime your posture so your body’s ready to move when it’s go time.

Remember: posture is performance. The stronger you hold your shape, the longer you last and the better you finish.

Breathe. Lock in. Go get it.

NOTES

  • RPE (rate of perceived exertion) should be 3-4.
  • If needed, adjust the number of reps, time, or rounds to fit your fitness level.
  • If needed, rest 1-2 minutes between rounds.
  • Always do your warm-up to help prevent injuries.
  • Some video demonstrations may depict exercise tools other than a ruck - the same cues and form will still apply unless otherwise noted.

REMINDER:

  • Soft count: 1, 2, 3, 4 ... this is when both (or all) limbs perform the exercise at the same time.
  • Hard count: 1,1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4...this is when only one limb does work at a time.
  • Each Side: Do all reps on one side before switching to complete all reps on the other side.
