The Gauntlet is a workout that I created to help my clients become mentally and physically stronger no matter where in the world they may be.

This is by no means a “walk in the park”.

Here’s how I do it in Sunny Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

Go to the Beach:

1. Take some deep breaths and visualize what I want to achieve.
2. Set a training goal. For example,  complete Gauntlet within 25 minutes.
3. Warm-up with a 1 mile run. Starting slow and gradually increasing speed.
4. The GAUNTLET
5. Choose FOUR Exercises: One Lower Body Movement (squats, split squats, Jump squats, walking lunges), One Pushing Movement (dips or push-ups), One Pulling Movement (Chins, Pull-ups, Inverted Rows) and One Abdominal Movement (Hanging Leg Raises, Jack Knives, Crunches)
6. Begin by performing 10 reps of each movment in circuit fashion.  Keep rest between movements as brief as possible.
7. Then rip out 9 reps of each movement.
8. Now 8 reps
9. SEVEN!
10. See a pattern developing here, Einstein?
11. You got it! Go all the way down to 1 REP per movement.
12. Then climb back up the mountain.  All the way to 10 reps.  Give it your all.  You have the rest of your life to rest.

Imagine the rewards that you desire as you attack the Gauntlet.  Focus on what you want.

Whatever you do, do not focus on pain or discomfort.  Pain is an indicator of future change.  Embrace it.

Of course, there are different types of pain – good and bad.  I trust that you will know when the risk exceeds the benefit.

Attack the plan,

P.S. You can do this workout anywhere.  You don’t have to be at the beach. You can do it at a playground, in your house, the gym or in prison. Hell, just get off your butt and do something.  You will thank me for it.
