Endurance

From Discover to Reflect

Every Saints Global badge follows the same arc — learn it, plan it, do it, then reflect on what changed.

  1. Step 1 · DISCOVER

    Discover

    Learn what this badge is really about.

    Read 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 and Doctrine and Covenants 89:18–20, then explain how caring for your body relates to endurance and discipleship. (TLX: 0.8)

    Explain what physical endurance is and identify at least three activities that require sustained effort over time. (TLX: 1.0)

  2. Step 2 · PLAN

    Plan

    Get ready — gather what you need.

    Assess your current endurance by completing a baseline effort (such as a timed run, hike, swim, bike, or bodyweight circuit) and identify one physical and one mental limiter. (TLX: 1.4)

    Create a personal endurance plan that includes frequency, intensity, recovery, hydration, and nutrition considerations for improvement. (TLX: 1.5)

  3. Step 3 · ACT

    Act

    Do the work, in the real world.

    Complete a sustained endurance effort lasting at least 45 minutes (run, ruck, bike, swim, or equivalent), maintaining steady pacing and safe form throughout. (TLX: 2.0)

    Complete a second endurance effort on a different day that emphasizes a different modality or terrain, demonstrating pacing and recovery awareness. (TLX: 1.9)

    Perform a fatigue-based circuit (bodyweight or loaded) that challenges muscular endurance, demonstrating proper form under tired conditions. (TLX: 1.8)

    Demonstrate proper warm-up, cooldown, stretching, hydration, and post-effort recovery practices after an endurance activity. (TLX: 1.6)

    Lead or pace another Saint or small group during an endurance activity, adjusting speed and encouragement to help them finish safely. (TLX: 1.9)

  4. Step 4 · REFLECT

    Reflect

    Look back and see what changed.

    Explain what you learned about pacing, discomfort, and recovery from your endurance efforts, including one mistake and one improvement. (TLX: 1.2)

    Describe how developing endurance helps you better serve others and remain faithful when tasks are long or difficult. (TLX: 1.2)
