Women Rangers and the Workout of the Day!!

Apparently two women (and possibly three if one woman passes after retaking the mountain portion of the training...) have just completed Army Ranger school. The selection process for men is simple: 1) Be crazy enough to attempt the 61-day combat leadership course. You have to be the best of the best that the Army has to offer. A small population to begin with for sure. 2) Of the men that attempt, roughly 60% of those elite warriors wash out because of the physical and mental demands of the course. If you are wondering about this course check out "Surviving the Cut". It is an amazing, historic accomplishment for these two women to have passed this course. Now there is a debate as to whether they can serve in combat?! Are they letting the 60% of the men that washed out of Ranger School serve in combat? 

Warm-Up:
10-20-30 interval row, 5 minutes
AbMat Sit-Ups, 50 repetitions
Strength:
Back Squat, 4 sets of 10 repetitions. One set every 3 minutes.
Metabolic Conditioning:
15 minutes AMRAP (AMRAP – Rounds and Reps)
20 Hanging Knees to Elbows
30 Wall Ball Tosses
Cool-Down:
400m walk
Mobility:
Quadriceps Stretches

Have a Great Day!!
