Work Out

One thing I've noticed with some of the other poolees is that they are having a hard time with the P.T. One thing that would help is if they worked out on their own time. Not only does this better your physical condition, but if you only work out at P.T. you waste Staff Sergeant's time, your time, and if you have a ride, you waste their time to haul your lazy rear to the office. A Marine returning from Boot Camp recommended the Armstrong Pull up Challenge. I started it and it increased my number of pull ups immediately. Since then I have drastically modified it but I still do the pull ups.
Another thing is that Staff Sergeant said that to condition yourself you need to do more than just pull ups, crunches, and running. Combat, and everyday life for that matter, woks more muscles in your body than just your biceps, thighs and calves, and gut. What of your triceps, neck muscles, chest, etc.? You gotta work those two.
Besides, working out will give you more energy, make you look better, and make you able to do more. I always privately laugh when I see the public school's PE teacher, he's huge! So get out, work out, and never,never quit! OORAH!
