Part 3

This is a partner workout.

1) Run .7 miles or bike 2.1 miles + 100 sit ups. 2 people can be working at once

2) 50 Burpees while the other holds a plank

3) 50 push jerks the other holds still in the bottom of a squat

4) 80 Kettlebell swings while the other hangs from a pull up bar

The only reps that count of the movement is when the partner who is doing the hold is in the hold position. If they need a break and fall, say on the plank, the partner doing the burpees should stop. You may switch up which partner is doing what in any round.

Although there is only a single bullet fired, they still work in a team towards a common goal.

Stairs, run to the top of the stairs at the hall you are at, at 87, go into the hose tower. Use the hand rail, and only one stair at a time on the way down. Do this twice per round. A jump squat is like a squat, just jump at the top. Make the sandbag heavy.
