Ruck PT Workout

A ruck-on Warmup (that was hard) was followed by a patriot inspired workout.  With ruck on pax did 9 merkins & 16 squats or 9 second plank 16 second chair pose, rucked 76 paces carrying sandbag, kettle, or coupon.  After six rounds, we switched it up to a ruck relay with kettle, coupon or sandbag. A plank heavy Mary finished us off. No happy ending.

The workout today remembers Thomas Knowlton, a Colonel credited with creating the intelligence operation of General Washington’s army. Known as “Knowlton’s Rangers” they were responsible for spying, and gathering intelligence to help create Washington’s strategy. Knowlton died in battle 9/16/76 and is remembered for his leadership by example. His soldiers commented that Knowlton would command “follow me boys” during battle as opposed to “onward boys”.  I think people you influence can appreciate that approach, and it makes them feel like you are along side them.
