• Scheme 3 + 5 + 3 + 5
• R Front, R back, L front, L back

March Monthly Challenge – The March Monthly Challenge tested overall physical fitness level. It is a test that is used by the Army to determine overall fitness for enlisted personnel. It was a great way, and a very practical way to test your overall fitness level. Those who tried it didn’t destroy, but definitely were surprised.
The March Monthly Challenge was based upon a scoring system designed by the Amy. The Challenge consists of the following exercises.
• Max push in 2mins
• Max sit-ups in 2mins
• Max pull-ups in 2mins
• Two-mile run (this is going to be 3,219m ski)
