Ameriburger here. Joining the Navy soon. Getting in shape for preparation.
Doing situps, pushups, squats, and lifting. And of course running.
Is there anything else I should add to my routine? Anyone know what PT actually consists of when I hit basic?
>>36833249
PT consists of running, push-ups, running, sit-ups and running. Maybe a few pullups.
>Navy recruit training consists of
Not a whole lot
>>36833249
I can't speak for Navy, but Army PT has devolved into crossfit.
Look up the navy PFT.
Do that.
>>36833249
For the SEALs or aircraft carrier janitor technician

>devolved
Crossfit is by definition the best thing for army fitness. And you don't have some retard forcing you to do snatches for time.
Kb swings, tires, sprints, pullup/push-up/ab circuits and water can carries are goat for army fitness.
>>36833403
I just came from 25th where they do that stuff. Body weight circuits are great, but I've seen a lot of stupid shit done.

>what is sports/endurance training
>what is oly lifts combined with bodyweight exercises for maximum athleticism
Size is the opposite of what you want in the military.
>>36833249
Unless you plan going SF, pt for recruits is a joke. Either hope you can operate under 4 hours of sleep
run faster little soldier
jump higher
die sooner
>>36833512
There is only one SF and it's in the army you faggot.
>>36833527
>implying people in the Navy fight
Also soldiers are only in the army. Navy are called sailors or seamen you liberal fuck.

>>36833528
I thin he means special operations warfare
>>36833249
You'll be fine. The program they use is meant to include people that are completely out of shape. Basic was mostly a joke when I went in, and I heard it got easier after I finished.
Just do what you're told and keep your mouth shut, and you'll do great.
>>36833571
This.
>>36833249
I can't believe it hasn't been mentioned yet but how about doing some swimming
>>36833589
I can't swim.
>>36833634
Learn how, it's like riding a bike.
>>36833634
you're joining the navy? on water? and you can't swim?
are you really qualified?
>>36833634
Lol'd even though I can't swim either
>>36833634
Everyone EVERYONE can swim. Especially in the navy, it isn't even swimming it's just quite literally not drowning.
Navy training is about as intense as a hippie drum circle.
OP is going to do fine; just have to wake up, show up, and instead of putting forth an effort put 1/4th an effort.
>>36833687
There was a guy in my division that couldn't blow bubbles without choking, let alone swim. He made it through anyway. He wasn't the only one that couldn't swim either.
>>36833728
Fucking kek shipmate
>>36833384
>>36833512
>>36833555
Mein shipmates
>>36833249
Idk about anyone else but once I got to the fleet (FDNF) in Japan; all PT relied on yourself. My command was too busy to enforce mandatory PT. Unlike stateside ships.... we worked
>>36833634
little tip about swimming. Humans are buoyant.
Never be first never be last don't volunteer for anything.
>>36833249
>look up prt/pfa standards for ur age group and gender
>do that many push ups, sit ups, and run under that time.
>do this until ship date
The pt is that easy. What u really have to train for is swimming, prone floating for 5 mins, learning RTC's Chain of Command, ur general orders, and shooting (because u don't want to be the only faggot w/o a ribbon)
