My Pre-Bootcamp Training Regimen... is it enough?
Hi All,
Thanks to the advice I received on this site, I’ve decided that it's well worth waiting until June for the 02xx MOS category. I've been prepping for boot for a few weeks now, and since I know the amount of time before I ship, I'm ramping up my PT. Please let me know what you think of this schedule:
Monday, Thursday, Saturday
Pullups - 3 sets (set 1 - 15, set 2 - 15, set 3 - as close to 15 as I can)
Situps - 4 sets (3 sets of 60, final set of 40)
Pushups - 3 sets (3 sets of 50)
Side bends with weights - 3 sets (15-20 dips per set with 80lb dumbell for dip)
2 mile "march" with 80 pound pack
3 mile unweighted run
Wednesday & Friday
3 mile "march" with 80 pound pack
5 mile unweighted run on Wednesday, 8 miles on Friday.
Sunday
Rest!
I welcome any comments or recommendations for alterations to this schedule, as I'm looking to do whatever I can to be as prepared as a civilian can be for boot camp.
Thanks!
Joe
Edit:
I do my marches in temperate-weather infantry boots and my runs in running shoes. Should I be doing this differently?
