K-Bar’s Morning PT
The following is a standard Pre-SOF morning PT to keep the edge of your knife sharp. Recommendations are as follows:- Don’t rush through exercises – adopt a nice even flow in each set and don’t give up.
- Go all the way through the workout without breaking sets up. You can take a short breather between exercises, but not during a set.
- Keep your head up and your eyes open. Stay mentally tough – especially when the pain starts to make you want to take a break.
The entire workout should take no more than 1 hour.
