I came across this regimen to improve my push-ups and sit-ups for the APFT a couple months ago. I used it during BOLC and to help with our most recent diagnostic APFT. While it is not meant to be a comprehensive, full body workout routine, it significantly helped improve my repetitions (61.2% for push-ups and 13.4% for sit-ups).

July 4 Cardio
July 4
What do you associate with Fourth of July? I think of fireworks, grilling, and swimming!
1LT Korkow and I changed up our Thursday workout routine. We went to to the lap pool at Jimmy Brought.
We did the breast stroke, freestyle, isolated freestyle kicks, and isolated breast stroke kicks. We swam for a total of 450 m. If you are a swimmer, this may not be very impressive, but we are newbies. Only practice and time will help us improve.
It was very much a tough workout that was easy on the knees and refreshing.

Running Workout
On July 2, 1LT Korkow, 1LT Vallier, 1LT Lienesch, CPT Linton and I had a great running workout. We warmed up with a light 0.5 mi jog. Then the real workout started.
(20 yd jog (35%), 20 yd sprint (90-100%), squats 20 reps) x2
(side shuffle, sprint, pushups 20 reps) x2
(jog, sprint, lunges 20 reps) x2
(grapevines, sprint, crunches 25 reps) x2
(jog, sprint, mountain climbers) 20 reps x2
(high knees, sprint, burpees) 10 reps x2
(jog, sprint, squats) x2
lunges, pushups, crunches
Finally we cooled down with a 1 mi jog.
This is a high-intensity workout, that is great for different fitness levels. The point is to push yourself as far as your body can take you.
Try it out on your own, or join us on Tuesday mornings.
