This was insanely hard which makes it a really good test of mental focus in my opinion. If anyone actually completes all the reps within the amount of time please let me know!! Good luck!!

I’m 300 pounds today is the day I start this and imma force myself to do it exactly as you I gotta be strong and let myself know I ain’t no bitch and this will make me more mentally strong since I can take it EDIT: ok so looking back when I made this comment I was actually 320 pounds I’ve lost 70 pounds and now I’m at 260 I’m trying to loose another 80 and go down to 180 and start to put on muscle and get a lean physique and going back to my current weight I’m 260 but I’m tall so I look like I’m around 220 I like how I look now but I’m not satisfied I know I can do better.

1:49 the workout If you wanna repeat day to day 11:15 *SKIPPING EXERCISE EXAMPLES*

If Micheal is gasping and wheezing that means this is WAAAAAAAAY harder than it looks

For some reason this video gave me extreme motivation. Ive been scared That I’m going to fail everything and I’m only in highschool. Ive realized it’s not always about how well you do or how many push-ups you can do, it’s about how hard you try and how much effort you put into it. And most of the time when you try your hardest and put all your effort into that thing, you can accomplish it. I guess telling myself not to stop while doing this and actually completing it made me feel more accomplished. Thanks for this.

Im a 16 year old girl and i must say this hurt like hell but the next thing I knew I was at the end without realizing. Im no were near ready but I know im progressing with that mental toughness. So thank you for the workout and challenge I will be back to dominate this in a week. That is a promise

This is amazing. I leave for Parris Island Nov 16th, so here in about 2 weeks. I've been learning a lot about what is expected of me as a future Marine but this helped put something in perspective. Its going to take undaunted effort. In the face of impossibility giving maximum effort. Discover new highs through grueling lows.

I am 51 years old, my son is a Marine, so I tried this workout. Wow... I made it through the first round all under a minute. 2nd round made it almost through all under a minute....then it went down hill from there. Great workout though, and shows me I have some work to do.

Wow, i am 15 years old and i completed minute 1,2,3,4,5,6 successfully. In minute 7 and 8 i arrived to do just 3,raunds and in the last minute i did just 2 raunds🥵🥵. Killer challenge Mike, looking forward to see more challenges like this👌

There's nothing more mentally challenging than doing this type of workout outside with cloud cover and then the sun decided to poke its head out. The intensity goes through the roof and you really need to focus and push through. Great work!

Very much appreciated! Excited to turn my life around and correct some of my bad choices

Thank you. I now do this every morning

Army vet, here. Well done, Mike! I wish I had seen this in the months leading up to basic training.

love the transparency and determination... definitely shows the reality and mental fortitude to push oneself beyond their capable limits...

@ Michael Eckert dude thank u for the awesome ab vids and the grip strength vid. Totally has changed things for me since adding them into my daily routine.

This is EPIC!!! Def wanna try this out as part of my military style/body weight workouts

Imma try it later today. The grass must be wet.

I am preparing myself for the spanish marine infantry. I really like this workout, it is what I am looking for and cant wait to feel it in my own skin. I will be waiting for more challenges like this.

Hey thank you I did it and it kicked my butt. I’m a jr in high school and I’m working hard so that I may become guide on. And yes please do more of these videos I’d appreciate it.

Loved the workout, I'm a poolee and I did this workout with you while its was 105 degrees out. I made it, and thank you for your service!

thank you for this vid. i havent done any serious sports or fitness in about 10 years. but i applied for the canadian forces and i will use that to start my journey to getting fit for bootcamp

Nice !!!! Thank you for your service and videos ❤❤❤❤❤😊

Hey Mike, just wanted to say your a big inspiration to me and I want to be like you some day.

I found you by accident, but maybe it was grand design. My 13 year old son is getting into fitness and he wants to be a Marine. I just know he is going to be a huge fan. Thank you for being a good role model in a world where there are so few to look up to.

Thank you sir🫡, God bless USMC

I am a PT and I am always looking for ways to challenge some of my fitter clients …they are going to hate me ..thank you for your video and your service ❤

Enlisting at the end of December after being out of the army since 2021. I’m excited to get back into this type of stuff, but this workout is gonna be a great way to start getting used to the feeling of accomplishment I always got after doing something PT related. Weighed over 300lbs last year, now I weigh under 260 after a lot of hard work and dedication. Military life is my jam and I’m looking forward to being apart of the brotherhood again

Love this! I appreciate that you share a work out that you are not able to complete. Please share more.

Greatly appreciated work

Friday January 19 the start of my military journey this video is now my daily workout Update next year on Feb 1

"Always Hold Yourself To A Higher Standard." Never truer words ever spoken. In everyday day life as true as life in the military. "I can't do it" is the biggest cop out there is. You have already given up on yourself and have been defeated before you even tried. Try, give your best and know, you did not accept defeat. You have won. Everyone must believe in themselves, if they ever expect anyone else to believe in them. God bless and stay safe. ✌️❤️🙏

Thank you for sharing this content.

Def gonna try this. I was 280 last year dropped down to 230 and now at 250. I got to lose 40 more pounds. Going for FAST Company

Please more videos like that!!!!!!

I'm 14 and have been interested in joining the marines for a while now and have been having doubts if I can even achieve my dreams but this has been really helpful and I'll never quit

loved this workout!

Been trying to put together a new workout routine. Thanks for the motivation brother!

I ship out in a month. I’ve been doing this video as my training. I even found a field that gets muddy after it rains to work in. Thanks for the assist.

That's called an incredibly valuable way to spend 10 minutes of your life. Great workout 👍

The good days , I’m getting it back 💪🏽 USMC

Ship to Army bootcamp Monday, and Im glad to say I kept up with you falling a tad bit behind but we finished together. THANKS BEAST

Just “finished” this on wood mulch lol. Hands are all cut up but I feel great. Thanks for the workout bro.

What a fun and challenging workout. I did the first round in my office :)) can't wait to try it outside on the grass :D

❤❤❤LOVE IT. GOTTA DO IT FOR 30 DAYS STRAIGHT.

Firstly hi from Okan! I like your personality because you are not a sniffy guy like the all body-builders. Keep working with Okan!

you know this is gonna be a great workout when you see this trooper starting to get tired.

the way this is gonna prepare me😅 did a test run and i couldn’t make it through the first part of the third branch…. but imma use this a lot to fight alongside my sister🙏🏽 thank you

You really worked yourself hard Good for you

Awesome!!!

This was insanely hard! I will definitely do this frequently! It was intense! I couldn’t even finish it!

I am from Ukraine and enjoy watching your videos

New subscriber from Philippines

I’m going to do this everyday now thanks 🎉😂

Salue from Turkey! Keep going brother!

i’m tryna prepare for boot camp next year so i hope this will help me not fail

Fantastic💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Wow this is very challenging I’m trying to lose 10 pounds and I already know this is gonna help

Always hold yourself to a higher standard

It's really nice workout

Found this today did it and finished Good workout though

Starts at 12:14

My salutes to you as a kurdish guy from the Netherlands. No friends but the mountains and Americans as the Kurdish saying goes.

Hi Michael, thank you for your lesson, is very important for me, but you are out of status in this excercises.

No wonder Marines are the ones you send in first.

Nice Workout! I‘d completely get messed up countin the reps.😂

Thanks dude i leave to parris island in august man this is gonna help alot thank you

Hey Mike, just finished this circuit and yes it was intense. Just one observation though, I did this twice. First EMOM where I was unable to finish the third round workouts but as the minutes ended, I had moved on to the next workout. But then I decided to run it again and finish all workouts in the third round(no more emom) 8(PU+TJ) x4, 20 crunches x4, 20 MC+ 16 UPnDowns (back to back without breaks) and it was waaay more tiring and required a lot more self motivation. You may wanna add that part as well.

Watching this is making my stomach turn.

Semper fi. I train boxing now and basically just put my guys through a quarter deck.

Today I’m starting this, I’m 207.4 lbs. You motivating me, I’ll be back with 2 week results

Bruh you do this had such a fast pace it’s so hard to keep up with you Jayne I’m really not army material :(

This is intense fellas. I’m not close to finishing in the time frame yet but I damn sure won’t stop until I got it. Going to BTC in 2 months!

I’m retired but I still do my workout everyday that I can. Still hate it but I refuse to let myself go.

Huge inspiration man! Joining the Navy this coming Thursday! Going to be hitting this workout on the beach everyday until I ship out! Super excited and verry hopeful our paths may cross. Question: is there any need to do running after the workout or is it considered HIIT training ?

i love it!

Valeu amigo

CAN WE PLEASE GET A DAY IN THE LIFE MICHEAL ECKERT PLEASEEEEE

Yes I do want to join

Nice!!! I want to do this warm up before my daily 5Ks. Question: What's a decent 5K running pace for marines? Not to pass a PFT or anything, just a decent good run.

Good evening Sargeant from Philadelphia, I'm 48 years old I'm 6'8" 350lbs. Doctor says I need to be 265 270 max. I was involved in an accident many years ago that affected my lower back. I've definitely built up a pretty large gut and I would love to lose it. My question is these exercises that you're showing here, would it be okay for me to do? Or lower impact to start? Thanks for your time and more importantly your service!

Saw you an a video with Austin Dunham and decided to check out your channel - subscribed 😁👍

I'm 16 turn 17 in July I'm about 6 foot and 220-225 not in the best shape but not obese I've been interested in joining the Marines in 2023 when I graduate I've been doing a good bit of running my mile time is about 745 I've mostly have been doing weights and hiit exercises about 4 out of 7 days a week. I finally decided to ramp it up a bit and I found this video I did and my God I am shot I have decided to do this 2 times a week for a month and then add 1 more until I can do it almost every day. Thanks for making this this is exactly what I needed.

I am only 13 but I promised myself I will become a marine so I am going to get a head start

Dobry trenig dla żołnierzy co za dużo za biurkiem siedzą. Można dać sobie wycisk. Bardzo dobrze że ćwiczy pan sierżant w mundurze w myśl zasady w czy ćwiczysz w tym walczysz.

That's where a strong army

I like that he didn't do the workout until he went on camera. Adds an air of authenticity like he wasn't practicing this workout to show everyone. Getting blown up on camera and showing everyone what's up. I don't think you need a gym membership to do all of this. XD

The best way to prep for boot camp is riding 6 miles of biking a day 5 days a week, farmers carry and weighted pushups.
