One part Fitness, one part Intellectual, mix in some Fellowship and you have a calorie burn for the body that fuels the soul. Throw some weight in a ruck sack, head off on a 2-3 mile hike while your mind is led through Q source material straight from the creators of F3 and other leadership development programs.

The Thang:
We rucked around Woodland Park. After rucking for a few minutes, we stopped and pulled out a leadership quote with a workout that followed. After the exercise was done, we would pair up to ruck and discuss what the quote meant to us. Here were the quotes that were pulled.
“A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd.” 100 front squats.
“The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint to keep from meddling with them while they do it.” 1 minute Al Gore.
“The mark of a great man is one who knows when to set aside the important things in order to accomplish the vital ones.” 15 merkins each
“One person with commitment accomplishes more than a thousand with an opinion.” 25 ruck swings each
“To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart.” 25 air squats each
“Being responsible sometimes means pissing people off.” 1 minute bear crawl
“Leadership is your ability to hide your panic from others.” 2 minute plank
“The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.” Indian Run Merkin
We rucked between the discussion on leadership quotes.
