First off, let me just give every Marine on this site all the credit in the world for the PT you do on a regular basis. You guys are beasts, seriously.
I recently started working out with my fellow Poolees, and a couple of formerly enlisted members who are looking at getting back in, five to six days a week. We have been lucky enough to have these Marines push us and show us what we really need to be able to do before we even get to boot camp. I had no idea how out of shape I was by the Corps' standards!! Fortunately though, I'm getting kicked into the right shape by all the right people. They're also teaching us how to march, stand in position properly, how to address DI's etc. which if you aren't learning, I would highly recommend getting on top of all that and everything else you can before you ship out. There's a lot of attention to detail I had overlooked before going to these intense workouts.
My question is, has everybody else been doing group workouts with their recruiters and fellow poolees? How is it going for you?
I know I hated it the first three days. But it's good stuff and if you're having trouble losing weight - don't skip these regular workouts! They've been cutting the fat for me like nothing else. My diet has hardly changed and already I've dropped about five pounds in the first two weeks.
Hope everyone else is getting it in as well.
