Many thanks to the SSI SSgt Manderson for hosting the second round of the British Army Warrior Fitness competitions here at Alanbrooke Barracks. The event consisted of 4 'rounds', each targeting and fatiguing isolated muscle groups, before finishing with the final round of a total body workout. We were able to enter a male and female team- with many new faces stepping in for the challenge. Congratulations to the female team who secured 3rd place, and the male team who came in 4th place.
