I don't know if anyone else will get anything out of this, but I did, so I am passing along.

I am retired Army and there is a website I check on occasionally called americangrit.com. They cater to the military crowd. They started posting workouts a year or so ago. They stopped posting new ones, but there is an archive available that can easily be adapted to your schedule.

I will put in a warning. Many of the exercises they list, I have to youtube to see how they are supposed to be done. I use the weights listed in the work outs as a guideline, but not as mandatory. I use my experience to go light or to skip an exercise completely. I want to keep injury to a minimum.

I would put these into the crossfit category, but not in the xtreme.

The first archive is https://www.americangrit.com/category/fitness/back-in-the-fight-30-day-challenge/. This is for people that have not been in the gym for some time. Last January, it fit me. I had just recovered from injury and had never been a big gym fan anyway. I tried to exercise mostly outside. It was a good way to get into the swing of things.

The larger archive is https://www.americangrit.com/category/fitness/hardertokill/ . There are about three months of workouts. What I like is that you are not doing the same thing each day. There is variety and I plan on just repeating the rotation until I get tired of them.

BTW, not that anyone cares, but when the workout says toes to the bar, I just laugh. That ain't happening.
