New Instructors Coming In Hot and Back Day!!

Today we begin the briefing for the next generation of NOLS instructors to come out of NOLS Southwest. It is always exciting to see the new faces of folks arriving to educate our students in the wilderness. The challenge of taking a NOLS Instructor Course lies in the fact that it is a 35-day job interview. The challenge of working a NOLS Instructor Course is making it NOT feel like a 35-day job interview where the participants are competing with each other.

Today's quote is from Simon Sinek:

"Leadership is not about the next election, it's about the next generation."

Workout: Back
Warm-Up: Perform each exercise for one minute.
Jump Rope
Trunk Twist
Barbell Good Morning
TRX Row
Bicycle Abdominal Crunches

Pull-Up, 3 sets of maximum repetitions
Upright Barbell Row, 3 sets of 10 repetitions
Bent-Over Dumbbell Row, 3 sets of 8-10 repetitions
Landmine Torso Twist, 3 sets of 8-10 repetitions

For those NOT working the NOLS Instructor Course:

Have a Great Day!!
