Workout Description​

Maintaining one’s physical fitness is essential to being successful in the Armed Forces.
Aside from being held to the highest moral standard and adapting to the military way of life, soldiers must abide by strict physical fitness demands to be ready for combat and noncombat operations.
Even more physically demanding when you’re serving in the Army, are the very intense and rigorous workouts one must perform to meet mandatory fitness requirements.
Ever challenge yourself? Ever been pushed beyond your limits or breakpoints?
Well if you haven’t - this is the perfect workout program for you.

Mission Complete​

Congratulations, you’ve completed an intense and physically grueling month-long Warrior Elite Fitness program.
Give yourself a pat on the back, you deserve it. You trained hard, ate clean, slept well, and most importantly you didn’t quit - One thing soldiers never do is quit. They're taught to be relentless.
The month has come to an end. Go hiking, take a walk in the park, or better yet treat yourself to a nice “cheat meal”. Well deserved. You persevered and fought to finish. You’ve now earned the title to call yourself “Warrior Elite”.
But this is not the end. Use this as a step stool to future workout programs you plan on doing and you’re always free to continue this program for as long as you desire.
