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.
