REMINDERS
Yesterday, did you:
- Get 9+ hours of sleep?
- Train 1-2 hours?
- Eat at least one fruit and vegetable?
- Stretch for at least 10 minutes?
- Do something nice for a family member?
- Check in on a teammate you haven’t heard from in a few days?
If the answer is yes, then good! You get a sticker. Now do it again today.
If the answer is no, then that’s okay! You have another opportunity today. Use it!

STRENGTH
3 supersets
15 backpack tricep extensions
15 military push-ups
See “Helpful Links” at the bottom of the post for movement demos._
”Superset” = do both exercises back-to-back, then rest 1:00-1:30 between sets. So you do 15 tricep extensions and then go straight into the 15 push-ups, then rest and repeat 2 more times.
For the backpack tricep extensions, put enough weight in your backpack that 15 is challenging but doable. For the pushups, no knee push-ups allowed. If you can’t do 15 from the floor, elevate your hands on a chair, your bed, etc.
CONDITIONING
”Death by Burpees”
Every minute, do 5 burpees. Increase the amount of burpees by 1 each minute.
Example:
0:00 – 1:00 = 5 burpees
1:00 – 2:00 = 6 burpees
2:00 – 3:00 = 7 burpees
etc.
Keep going until you fail to complete a round. The last round you completed + number of burpees you did on the round that you failed is your score. I will be doing this one later tonight, I’ll post my score when I do!
