shave you’re head and do push ups
just run…. Everything else is simple if you can get through running
well my brothers like 16 and hes been to encampment, but like every morning hes has like a list of what he does like: 30 diamonds, 30 jumping jacks, 30 one-handed push ups, and 30 normal push-ups. but he just eats whatever and works it all out. hope this helped =]
No junk food. Healthy and meaty foods only. Eat a large Meat intake (chicken for example) because you will need it, since you will be burning it. Meat is a high protein food, and will always get your prepared and keep you energized. As for excersize, I reccomend you try jogging everyday and doing sit ups, push ups, and other muscle activities in your torso area.
Best answer is appreciated.
Running, calisthenics, some light weight training
I would jog daily, do situps and pullups too.
Eat normal serving size with no seconds and you should be fine.
i would say run, run, run they do a lot of running! GL
sit down in a nice chair…coke in one hand and remote in the other…set the remote down on the table….pick it back up…set it back down pick it back up….do this about 140 times a day…do this with the right arm only because this is the arm you salute with…okay im kidding…..run run run run your *** off ..seriously
start eating eggs at breakfast, not raw though… you should start jogging, or do somekind of aerobics exercise. also pullups are excellent if you can them, also pushups if you can do them( if not, try them on the stairs and work your way up to doing them on the ground. you should start running half a mile for one week. then one mile for the next month. then eventually work your way up to 5mile jogs. Excellent Luck
By the way this is just what i reckon you should do, im 11.
Dragging a 170 pound dummy around your waist for a hundred yards.
Most of the training involves repetition so low weight exercises, running, calisthenics, etc.
If you can, go to a gym and do their workout schedule, but if you want to work at home, follow this:
Bicep Curls
Push Ups
Pull Ups
Sit Ups
And Run in Place (for about 5 minutes)
Do as many of the listed as you can. Upper body strength is vital in Basic.
My brother is iin the coast guard and his pre bootcamp training was 40 situps, 40 pushups and running two to three miles. He would do this a couple tims a week and started doing it more and more often as bootcamp came closer. It worked out pretty well for him. Passed with flying colors. Of course he was doing 2 sets of 20 untill he could pull off 40 of each ( situps and pushups).
it doesn’t sound like you need to diet in terms of losing weight so i would suggest that you add more protein and more carbs to your diet. the protein will help you build muscle and the carbs will help give you energy. as far as working out, i would get accustomed to running 2-3 miles a day at a minimum as well as working on your abs. regular crunches, if done properly are very effective.
There’s this
and also this
Warm-up/stretch, then do cardio: run – ease into running, get into a routine, 30 minutes a day, take 1-2 days off a week; once you have the routine, work on speed – shoot for a 10-12 minute mile (5-6 mph).
Daily:
ab crunches (support neck, raise up using only ab muscles) – start with two sets of 20 reps, work up to three sets of endless reps…
planks (push-up position, support body on elbows, legs straight, engage abs to support, not back, hold position) – start with two 30-second planks with 15 seconds rest in between
side planks (rest on one elbow, keep body straight) – same as above, on each side
wall squat (back against wall, thighs parallel to floor, hold position) – start at 1 minute, work up to 5 minutes
bicycles (back to floor, raise torso up off floor, bicycle legs, elbows go in alternating direction from legs) – start with two sets 30 reps, work up to 3 sets endless reps…
push-ups – start with two sets of 5, real push-ups, not the girly ones, work up to 2-4 sets of reps totalling 50, or just 50 at once
For a more detailed description of those exercises, you should be able to Google them…
That should help. A small. Boot camp itself should end the job…
Excellent luck
im going to boot camp in march to join the airforce. i got a gym membership and i work out 5 days a week. make sure u do your cardio b/c you do alot of running. my dads in the airforce and my brother is in the navy. im 4″11 and 104lbs. make sure your in shape b4 you go. or u will get your@ chewed all the time. lol you dont want to be the girl in the back.
running and pushups and pull ups..
Just hope Obama wins! lol
For pushups and situps improvement, I would do 5 sets each of pushups and situps (as many pushups as you can do withut stopping and 50 situps or as many as you can do without stopping), working up from twice a week to about 10 times a week.
For running, I would work up from a 1-mile run 3 times a week plus 30 minutes of bike riding or gym machine cardio 2 times per week to a 5-mile run every morning plus a 1-mile run every afternoon, 5 days per week. Add a mile to your runs every 2-4 weeks until you are doing 5 miles, 3 days per week plus 30 minutes of biking or gym machine cardio 2 days per week. Then replace the gym cardio with 2 or 3 more 5-mile runs. Then add evening 1 mile runs. Before you go to basic training, you should be doing pushups, situps and a 5-mile run every morning 5 days per week and pushups, situps, and a 1-mile run every afternoon, 5 days per week. Once you are up to that level, you should try mixing interval training into your long runs 2-3 days per week (run as quick as you can for 2 minutes, then run at a slow-normal pace for 2 minutes, repeating this process for 5 miles). You might even try adding a 25-rep set of leg press or squats after every run. Remember to always stretch before and after you run or do leg exercises with weights.
