Exercise of the week

This is a new section where we show you what one of the exercises we do looks like. This week is the good old Bungee Jump and Scoot, or BJS. The exercise is quite simple and will take the starch out of you in one round. First take a rope, string, elastic tube, etc. and tie it to two fixed points about knee high (that's knee high to an average adult male, not a giraffe). Be sure that you have about 7 feet between your anchor points. Next stand parallel with the cord. Laterally jump over the rope. Drop down to the front leaning rest and scoot (DO NOT ROLL) under the the cord. Stand up, repeat. Enjoy the video on this.

    The Bungee jump and scoot is designed to work agility and cardiorespiratory capacity and aid in mimicing dynamic movements or actions while in a combat patrol type environment. It is without a doubt an exercise that will put a nice coat of scunnion on you if you do it for an exteded period of time and to standard!
