Stronger Together is a 3 hour workout session - but you can drop out after 1 hour at and earn a BLUE finisher patch. Or drop out after 2 hours and earn the GREEN finisher patch. Or complete the entire challenge and earn the RED finisher patch.
This challenge is meant to be done in pairs. You need to carry a team weight through the entire challenge, so if you are alone you need to carry all the weight yourself. Also, some exercies are shared, which means that the number of repetitions are shared between you. We are stronger together!
If you are not physically fit, it is recommended to aim for the blue pass-point (hard). If you are training regularly we recommend you aim for green pass-point (very tough). Only aim for the red pass-point if you are touching elite level trainig (absolutely brutal).
Finishers earn a digital finisher partch with their name or team name on it.
Every participant performs every exercise. Click on the exercise to open the training database to find out how it is done.
Some exercises are marked (shared). Here, each pair can divide the number of repetitions between themselves as they see fit. If you do the challenge alone, you need to carry out all repetitions by yourself.
Each pair needs to bring a team weight. All the weight must be carried in one single package (e.g. ruck or sand bag). You can't distribute the weight in smaller packs. Your drinking water and energy snacks is extra - they do not count as team weight!
You need to carry the team weight with you through the entire challenge. Some exercises are marked (without ruck), only here it is allowed to put down the team weight on the ground and perform the exercises without having the team weight on your body.
