ALL LEVELS | Labor Day - No Rest for the Weary

Labor Day (for those PATHFINDERS who aren't American) is a US Federal holiday where we celebrate American workers, their contributions to our society and achievements. The day's celebration was born from the struggle of poor working conditions during a dark time in American history. (Working 7 days a week, 12 hours a day was common.) Need a history refresher?

But we're cushy now. So your butt is going to work.

This workout is All Levels, so pick your ideal working conditions for today:

  • BEGINNER: 3 Rounds
  • INTERMEDIATE: 4 Rounds
  • ADVANCED: 5 Rounds
  • * Your choice to wear your ruck during the workout but you will need to use it as weight.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

  • Ruck + weight

NOTES

  • Beginner rosters may complete all exercises as bodyweight only.
  • 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.
