Note: Given the shortened 4-week duration of the Warrior Challenge, this condensed 1-week physical conditioning and endurance training module is designed to provide a crash course in physical readiness. While this course will provide an introduction to essential physical skills, cadets are encouraged to continue physical conditioning independently beyond the duration of the Warrior Challenge to maintain and improve their fitness levels.
