I'm using this an an unofficial method to document how those who are or were in the military stayed fit. It doesn't matter if you served in WWI with @
Tcoat or you're part of the latest conflicts around the world. I'm trying to gain further knowledge of what service members did while in garrison or deployed to maintain or improve their level of fitness. For transparency, I'm trying to develop effective methods to help improve exercise for those within the tactical community. I realize this is a random place to ask such questions, but I know we have a decent population on this amazing forum of prior or current service members. I'll list a few things I did while stationed at Ft. Bragg:
Running. And lot's of it!
Ruck marches =/>6mi - sometimes full battle rattle
Push Ups & sit-ups - usually to failure
Pull ups (was a must to pull your risers down(or so they say))
Flutterkicks & planks
Rope climbing
Overhead arm claps
Up-Downs (burpees were not the hit cool thing at this time)
I was not very knowledgeable at 18 to know what to do to condition myself better. So time spent at the actual gym was minimal. I also went through physical therapy while in due to a multitude of injuries. Please feel free to add what you did!
