Starting at one end of the team line right side , each player completes a single burpee. The first team to finish wins a point. The team with the most points over 15 games wins. Note: If you happen to have odd numbered teams the trainer joins in.

Royal Marine training brings back some fond memories. Although it was physically and mentally demanding, I got through it and earned my Green Beret.

In the picture above I was putting my troop through a few tough bootcamp drills. It was awesome. Each morning we had to lay our kit out ready for inspection, and if it wasn't pristine clean, we got flanked. It's the last thing you happen to you. Once the inspection is over, you've got a bunch of recruits stood next to their kit the lucky ones , and a bunch of guys stood side by side - flanked.

As we wait for the PTI's to arrive, the guys in the flank look pale and miserable. They know whats coming. After phys the head PTI shouts. In 8 months of training, I got flanked once, and thats because I had never been flanked. Thanks Corporal Mc'crumb. The Corporals loved testing out their drills on the recruits when they messed up. Here are a few.. Drill 1: Have your clients assume the push-up then repeat the following.

In a normal bootcamp setting, ask players to go for as long as they can safely manage. The last player to remain is the winner.

Complete squats for 30 seconds then hold for 30 seconds.

Repeat adding on an extra 5 seconds to each round. As you can image, h olding the squat position with 30lbs of military kit is not a nice feeling. Drill 3: At the end of a corporate session a while back, my clients asked me what was the most brutal finisher I could throw at them.

Can you believe they actually asked that? I could have conjured up something much worse, but I wasn't there to kill them. Method: List 8 exercises and give each exercise a value.
