k2c – Ruck and Field Fitness

Not a typical get up

2018-11-01Gio

I’ve performed the traditional Turkish get up with kettlebells, dumbbell , and wrestling dummies. Working with sandbags has taken this movement to another level once you are in the middle or latter part of your workout when this movement has to be performed and you are gassed.

The question is why not put it at the beginning where it might make sense? Well, when you’re preparing your body, and mind to get strong it helps you to have confidence of what you’re capable of when you are almost on the verge of total physical exhaustion.

Today is such a day, and this week has been putting people in that very state of exhaustion that you need to be able to function in especially if your in the Military, LEO, FF/Medic.

Today we’re are @Roos Recreation Center.

Well the temps are dropping in October which means break out your winter running gear kids, because it’s going to be a warm workout. You’ll be running the bridge today, and it’s sure to get the blood circulation up and will keep your wheels rolling.

Bring your rucks for this one to give you the little bit of resistance you’ll need to complete the exercises, and reap the benefits.

Hill repeats can wear on you both physically and mentally especially if they’re a high repetition and long spanning bridge that you have to cover. You get into a groove, and just get it over with trying your hardest not to hate life in the process. It does make you appreciate flat terrain more though.

Today we have a short length, and not so high a bridge to do repeats on, and you’ll have only two repeats to cover! Yes, Two!

However there is a meat of exercises to perform in between the repeats so you’ll have something else to think about instead of the drudgery of the ups and downs of hill repeats.

Today we’re at Roos Recreation Center in Forest Park, IL

I like having to pick up odd objects from the floor while standing over them, and it is by far much easier when you’re lifting it up to any height in that manner.

I really enjoy how I feel having successfully lifted something odd and heavy in that manner. Then there is having to lift the odd object from the ground while supine, and the object is a sandbag. Oh man, it gets serious very quickly.

You’re having to perform abdominal contraction, trunk rotation, and flexion, and standing up with odd object to boot. Did I forget to mention that you must also return to the starting position to compete the rep? Ha! One!

Today we’re doing such a thing, and it’s the first exercise we open our workout in! Oh, I completely forgot to tell you to wear the 10/15/20# vest also. Silly me.

Today we’re at Roos Recreational Field, Forest Park, IL
