Welcome to the first WDT - Workout of the week posting. Here we will post weekly workouts released every WEDNESDAY! Some workouts will be firearms only, some fitness only, but most a combination of the two. I know not everyone has a range they can run and gun on so don't worry... Workouts of the Week will have live-fire and dry-fire options.
Things WDT Recommends
If you are going to participate in WDT Workouts of the Week I suggest you invest in the following. These are the items I specifically use and train with. I know they work and that's why I suggest them. However feel free to purchase whatever similar ones you like:
Pink Rhino - 9mm Laser Cartridge - this is a laser cartridge that is placed into your pistol and provides a momentary red laser flash when you pull the trigger.
TARYAG - 223/55.6 Laser Cartridge - same as the above laser cartage but in rifle caliber. I have tried several of these and this is the one I found works the best.
G-site Laser Training App - This is the app I use to record and objectively tract all my dry fire training.
**You can find video of how to properly use these products under the "LEARN"
section of this page.
Think of this week's workout as an intro to firearms and fitness. I am going to start out with very simple workouts that have low barriers to entry. Simple does not necessarily translate too easily. Have fun!
