Week 7 – EVERY DAY

Aim to get 10,000 steps per day. Why? We love walking. A part of our philosophy is that training more is generally better than training less, and walking is one of the simplest, least intimidating, and most accessible forms of exercise. Further, 10,000+ steps per day comports with the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. So, get walking!

2022 Evansville Police Department Foundation SWAT Challenge

FREE TRAINING PROGRAM!

Source: SWAT Challenge Facebook Page

Each year in the spring, the Evansville Police Department Foundation hosts the SWAT Challenge in downtown Evansville, IN. The SWAT Challenge is the area’s only urban 5k obstacle course. Check out photos from years past on the SWAT Challenge Facebook Page to see examples of some of the obstacles you might encounter!

The SWAT Challenge is a fundraiser for the EPD Foundation, and the proceeds from the Challenge are used primarily for specialized, advanced training for the EPD SWAT Team. Founded by the Police Department in 1975, the SWAT Team trains and prepares for missions involving barricaded gunmen, hostage rescue, high risk warrant service, dignitary protection, civil disturbance control and active shooter response. The SWAT Team is on-call 24 hours a day, responds immediately to calls for service, and services not only Vanderburgh County but also surrounding counties in Southwest Indiana when needed.

The advanced, up-to-date training that the SWAT Team receives and tests is then passed on to the rest of the department via annual in-service or specialized training put on for the department by the SWAT Team. Therefore, the SWAT Challenge benefits the entire department, and, in turn, the entire community.

The SWAT Challenge is open to anyone, any age, who is up for a challenge. This year, the SWAT Challenge will be held on May 7th, 2022. Check out the links below to learn more and/or to register!

The SWAT Challenge would not be possible without the support of those who choose to take part in this grueling but fun event. As a thank you to all of you who plan on taking part in this year’s SWAT Challenge, Shield Training Systems is providing a FREE 8-Week SWAT Challenge Training Program to help you prepare for the event.

The SWAT Challenge Training Program will consist of 3-5 workouts per week and will include aerobic conditioning, strength training, and high intensity interval training. This program is designed specifically to help you perform your best on May 7th.

This will be the fourth year that we have provided a free training program for the challenge, and this year’s will be a little different. This year the training program will be entirely equipment-independent, meaning that ZERO equipment is required. As long as you have a decent pair of running shoes, you will be able to use this program.

If you prefer to use equipment and want a program with more variety, click HERE to find the free training program from prior years.

Here’s how it will work:

-Every Week, starting March 13th and ending the week of the Challenge, we will post all of the workouts for the week on our website.

-You can find each post on the main page, or by directly going to the “2022 EPD SWAT Challenge” category under “Programs”.

-In addition to the weekly workouts, each post will also provide content explaining the “why’s” and “how’s” related to the training.

-You can contact us anytime with questions about the training by sending us an email or by simply posting a question in the comment section of each weekly post.

All you have to do to take advantage of this free program is check the website each Monday and put in the work throughout the week!


Thank you again for your support of the EPD Foundation and the EPD SWAT Team, and we will see you on May 7th!
