What's your physical fitness regiment?

[RogerinTPA]

For those who maintain some level of fitness, what is your PT/workout routine?

I normally do 50 pushups, 50 crunches 3 times a week and weight training 2 -3 times a week. I need to work on cardio. As much as I despise running, I'm going to go for a 5 mile+ fast paced walk, a slower jog, biking or rucking, to get rid of 10-15lbs and increase endurance. I really need to get back into racket ball since I loved it, played it for years, then basically gave it up when I got out of the Army (AD and Reserves) for good.

What say you?

I don't have a standard workout but to keep somewhat fit I run, cycle (mountain, road and cyclocross) and play hockey. I will occasionally go to the gym (mostly when I'm traveling) but I hate it.

Other than normal 3x a week unit PT which is usually a slow 3-5 mi run, I do the following:

Monday: 10 min on treadmill at 9mph to get heart rate soaring. Then biceps and back. 30 Pull ups and then 1 mile on the track.

Tuesday: 10 min on treadmill at 9mph to get heart rate soaring. Triceps, shoulders, chest. 30 Pull ups and 150 crunches.

Wednesday: 10 min on treadmill at 9mph to get heart rate soaring. Legs and full body conditioning. 30 Pullups and 10 Min on row machine.

Thursday: 3mi boots n utes run in the Pendleton hills, usually engineer hill and radio tower hill for those in mainside.

Friday: R&R

Saturday: 1 hr in gym doing muscle conditioning.

Sunday: Same



Combined with a proper diet, thermogenic, vitamins, protein, and a strong will you can stay very fit!

Workouts vary on what's necessary to prepare for at the time.

Some more enjoyable ones that come to mind are:

10k gasmask ruckrun (60lb ruck), followed by 10 sets of 10 pull ups, 20 pull ups, 30 4-count flutter kicks.

1mile swim, 4mile run, 1mile swim, finish with ab work

5 sets of 1mile followed by 40 overhead ammo can presses (USMC CFT style), 10 pull ups, 30 push ups, 50 sit ups.
