Congratulations to SPC Gonzalez! A well-deserved honor.

4-6 IN would like to present SPC Gonzalez from 4-6 FIST as 4-6 IN BN Hero of the week.

SPC Gonzalez demonstrated outstanding dedication and technical proficiency during Apache Pandation as a Forward Observer. He instructed and graded his company in the proper use of Call For Fire (CFF) and educated his company on the effects of Artillery and BN mortars resulting in the increased combat effectiveness of the Company. SPC Gonzalez clearly taught and demonstrated the proper CFF method and provided added individual education as needed to ensure every soldier of Apache Company understood the process.

SPC Gonzalez consistently seeks to solve problems and improve the lethality of himself, his equipment and his peers.

Significance to the Battalion/Brigade:
SPC Gonzalez is an exemplary Soldier, demonstrating Selfless Service. Unity is Strength - Regulars, By God!

Our first Hero WOD challenge for the Gauntlet.

Dedicated to U.S. Sgt. Zachary D. Tellier, 31, of Charlotte, NC (USA) a combat infantryman with the 4th Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, at Fort Bragg. He died Sept. 29, 2007, of wounds sustained while on a ground patrol in Afghanistan.

Workout rules
As a couple, follow the exercises in the order listed. Split the total number of reps between the two of you (reps do NOT have to be split evenly). You can do the reps at the same time you don't have to alternate. For example in the first set, both partners can do 5 burpees at the same time to knockout the 10 rep requirement. (You can split them 5/5, 7/3, however you see fit). Then move to the next set and complete 10 total burpees together again. Next, move to the pushups, and so on until the workout is complete.
Note: as long as one is doing standard pushups the other can do them kneeling.
Stay motivated stay fit and keep up the great work family!

Turn in by May 16 2020 @1700

Here’s how this works:

Get up and move. Walk, run, ruck, skip, or dance as far as you can. Total distance of you and your spouse combined over the span of a week is the next couples challenge.
Record all distance with a distance tracking app and screenshot. Collect the week's total and submit before 1700 March 3, 2020. Please take pictures of your families staying active conducting your walk, run, ruck, etc. We would love to post your progress.
Good luck competitors and stay fit!!!

Congratulations to the Gonzalez family! Winners of the of the Couples Gauntlet Home Fitness Challenge for the second week in a row. Staying fit and getting strong! Who is willing to attempt to take the gauntlet from this unstoppable team?

04/19/2020

Here’s how this works:

Timer starts. Man does 21 Hand Release Pushups, then 21 Jumping Jacks, then 21 Leg Raises.

Once his reps are done, he tags his teammate in (think of it like a relay).

Tag, the lady is it! She completes 18 Kneeling Hand Release Pushups, then 18 Jumping Jacks, then 18 Crunches.

She tags her partner in and he begins his reps of 15. After his reps of fifteen ladies will do reps of 9. Follow this pattern until the round of 1 rep is completed, that will finish the workout.

Works must be recorded and turned in NLT April 25 2020 at 1700.

Good luck competitors and stay fit!!!

Couples Gauntlet 20.1 WOD

For time as a team

100 Push-ups
-Scaled Movement: Kneeling Pushups (2 Kneeling Push-Ups for each 1 regular Push-Up)
100 Sit-Ups
-Scaled Movement: Crunches
(2 Crunches for each regular Sit-up)
100 Air Squats

One partner works while the other rests. Split the reps up as you see fit. Exercises must be done in order (i.e. all 100 push-ups must be completed before you start the sit-ups, sit-ups completed before you start air squats) I recommend using WODPROOF app to record and have the timer on screen.

04/10/2020

Couples Gauntlet Home Fitness Challenge!

Rules are simple: compete, complete, and record your workout with your spouse.

All workouts are posted every Sunday. They will be due by the following Saturday at 1700. Videos can be submitted either to the 4-6 FIST Instagram page, page, or SSG Rodriguez on WhatsApp.

If possible, please try to use the app WODPROOF to send in your recording. If this is not feasible, a regular recording will do, just send it in segments to one of the three places listed above.

Winners of each event will keep the Gauntlet during the week. You may sign/add one small item to the Gauntlet (sticker, coin, trinquet, etc.)

Your team will accumulate points for competing in each event.

You do not have to complete in all events; but what's the fun in that?

There will be modified options for each exercise in an event in case any of the exercises are too difficult. Rep counts will vary based on scaling/modifications but specific discrepancies will be briefed on Sunday.

At the end of the Challenge the couple with the most overall points winner will win and keep the Couples Gauntlet!!!
