CHAMP's #GotMySix 2025 campaign emphasizes integrating physical fitness, social connection, and gratitude. Together, these elements can boost their impact, leading to improved mission readiness, performance, mental fitness, overall quality of life, and long-term health.
Explore the practical examples that blend physical fitness, social connection, and gratitude in HPRC’s #GotMySix physical fitness resources poster below. Each weekly challenge highlights a specific physical fitness component.
- Week 1 focuses on muscular strength with multi-joint exercises, including suggested sets, repetitions, and intensity levels to train this component.
- Week 2 emphasizes load carriage and offers an example session you can include in your physical fitness training plan. Keep in mind that the type of terrain you ruck on will determine how to load your pack to boost performance and reduce the risk of injuries from falls.
- Week 3 highlights muscular endurance with multiple exercises, including suggested sets, repetitions, and intensity levels. This physical fitness component is the simplest to train with minimal equipment.
- Week 4 explores anaerobic endurance and provides a few exercises you can do at maximum intensity to add variety to your physical fitness plan.
Make sure to always start off with a warm-up before workouts to increase your performance during the session and reduce your risk of injury over time. Try the weekly challenge that best fits into your current physical fitness training plan and helps you meet your SMART goals.
