About Us.
Hello my friend! Jeff here with my wife Cheryl. I am a retired military member and long time personal trainer who always made an effort to make getting in shape much less of a chore than it has to be. I’ve always felt the best way to do that is to make fitness fun, and what better way to have fun that to turn your workout into a gaming session!
Functional fitness has been the cornerstone of my training routines for many years and that training philosophy is on full display here with the Warrior’s Rise board game.

You still log the rank you achieved in the rulebook for tracking purposes, but you retain the highest rank you have achieved.
So, if you had ranked Champion at some point and follow that up with ranking Conqueror in the next game, you still retain your Champion title BUT you use your last ranking to determine how many free points you start the game with.

This is 100% a call you make as the workout progresses.
The repetition count is going to change as you play and your energy level will change as well. You want to push yourself BUT you want to be safe above all.
A good rule of thumb is to use 10 reps as your measuring tool. When you do an exercise, choose a weight that will be challenging for you to complete 10 reps. If your rep count is higher (or much higher in some cases), adjust the weight down to what you believe will be suitable.

The goal is to get better/stronger NOT get hurt int he process. If you cannot perform an exercise because of an injury, the easiest thing to do is to skip that exercise and choose another.
Another option is to modify the exercise in a way that does not cause further pain/injury. Listen to your body and keep in mind that “push through the pain” does NOT refer to ignoring the pain of injury (only the discomfort of muscle fatigue and strain).
