How’s your week going, Men? I’ve been seeing members getting the sessions done and sharing their progress. It’s good to see, and if you’ve had a rough week, you’re welcome to post that too. You don’t need a personal best to join the conversation. Drop your number below: 💪 1 — Getting it done. ⚔️ 2 — Doing what I can, but life’s getting in the way. 🔄 3 — Fallen off and need to restart. 👋 4 — New here and haven’t started yet. Then tell us one thing you’re going to get done before Sunday. A workout, a walk, starting the course, whatever moves you forward. Where are you at? I’ll be in the comments.

Anyone got any goals so see out the year on a high? I plan on completing the old British Army CFT on New Years Eve. 8 miles in under 2 hours, with 55 pounds. I am looking forward to the process!

What’s something you’d genuinely like to do, build, start or change, but you keep putting it off? Could be a business idea, a course, writing something, travelling somewhere, changing jobs, learning a skill… anything. And what’s actually stopping you? Lack of time? Money? Confidence? Or just that little voice telling you it might all go tits up? I’ll start. Once I’ve finished my memoir, which is partly rooted in my time in the Parachute Regiment and the French Foreign Legion, I want to write an epic fantasy novel. If you knew me, you’d know that is completely outside my wheelhouse, which is exactly why I want to do it. What’s yours? Drop it below. No judgement. 🛡️

To level up, get involved in the community: post your progress, join conversations, answer questions and support other members. The more value you bring to the group and the more likes your posts and comments receive, the more points you earn. 🥤 THE RECIPE PACKS There are now 7 ShieldWall recipe packs available: • High Protein • Low Carb • Five Ingredient • Smoothies • Gluten Free • Vegan • Vegetarian You can buy the complete recipe collection now if you want them straight away, but you don’t have to. When ShieldWall Tactical Fitness Premium launches, members will get access to all 7 recipe packs, alongside the Tier 2 training programme, Stress Resistance courses and more as part of the membership.

Anyone else feel a win with a capital W when you’re up and out before the sun breaks? Definitely a plus to this time of year where I live.
