TSL Texas
The Lone Star leads the charge in the TSL way!
Fitness
As adherents of The Strenuous Life, we work out not merely to attain aesthetic effects (though this can be a wonderful byproduct), or because it feels good (though it definitely does), or even because it’s crucial for good health (which it assuredly is). We exercise our bodies to enhance our ability to think clearly, to master temptations and weaknesses, and to serve others. In short, we become strong to be useful. The Strenuous Life will provide you the tools, resources, and accountability to help you achieve that goal.

The Starting Strength System makes use of the body's most basic movement patterns – barbell exercises that involve all the body’s muscle mass – utilized over the longest effective range of motion and loaded progressively, to force the adaptations necessary for increased strength.
​
Unlike other popular exercise protocols, Starting Strength is a training system – a long-term process designed for getting stronger over time, not a random collection of exercises that just make you hot, sweaty, sore, confused, and tired today.
MENTAL + PHYSICAL + SOCIAL HEALTH
TRIBE (NOUN) \ ˈTRĪB \
A small group of people defined by clear purpose and understanding. Historically, that meant you shared food and defense — and you were part of something bigger than yourself.
We believe an active life is a healthy life and this unites us. Push boundaries (especially the ones you have in your own mind), get stronger one step and one rep at a time, and spend quality time with friends outside.
To join thousands of us from all over the world, and in neighborhoods near you, become a member of GORUCK Tribe 'n Training.
