Introduction
Come on down to The OP for a ruck-inspired workout. We will keep it moving without full-out running. it will be some full body work. If you are looking to get some active recovery from Scrooged legs while still re-activating some of those other areas that haven’t been getting as much attention recently, all alongside some classic mummblechatter and good tunes, then this is the place to be. If you are just looking for a good way to get that work during and/or before the holidays then this is the place to be. If you are looking to sit in place and do nothing then this is NOT the place to be.
- Ruck sacks preferred
- Coupons and/or sandbags will work too
- Any other gear you see fit for your feet and body in the current conditions
HC in the thread and I’ll c u there.
Got the chalk instructions written out and was ready to get this holiday themed ruck workout kicked off. PAX rolled in and brought some good energy. 5:15, go time.

Circle of Trust
CoT
- Opportunity to wish everyone a merry Christmas
- Remind everyone to travel safe if they are traveling, plan ahead if you can and don’t rush
- Remind everyone that big holidays like this is time we get to spend quality time with family, friends. Make sure to be especially present. Be invested into the conversations that you have. These are the opportunities to get some of the most value out of conversations with family and friends that you may not have as much time to normally have conversations with.

This was my first ruck-inspired workout that I had some time to prepare for (I had one in the past that was more backup related). I am looking forward to designing more of these in the future to mix it up and get some tucking in with a good mix of PT. Always a big fan of Q’ing at The OP with the PAX always ready to bring it and all that the AO has to offer. Great to see solid numbers showing up despite winter conditions starting to take hold.
