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 change mine every 6 or 7 weeks, but this is what I'm running now.
Monday
- Dead lifts
- Push ups / pull ups / bands
- Jump rope (500)
- Stretch
Tuesday
- Bench
- Push ups / pull ups / Bands
- Stretch
Wed
- 1mile run
- Abs
Thursday
- Shrugs / Rows
- Push ups / pull ups / bands
Friday
- 2 mile run
- abs / core
Saturday
- Squats
- Push ups / pull ups
- .5 mile run
Sunday - Off
Monday/Wed is Kenpo night.
Sat morning is Kali/dirty boxing.
Each workout is prefaced by a warm up; joint mobility/ shadow boxing.
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.
