Crossfit is awesome. I encourage every poolee to try it out. I've been on it for a while now and it's helped my IST. I have been doing nothing but improve.

pullups-16
situps-78
1.5 mile-10:31

INSANITY + Armstrong Pullup Program (w/ weighted vest) = 1st Class IST/PFT everytime

Also programs likes P90X and Crossfit are good but with crossfit i would advise not getting into the habit of doing kipping pullups.

Circuit training seems like it is the best way to get ready for boot camp. Most of the workouts we do for PT at my recruiting station deal with body weight exercises for long periods of time. My favorite workout comes from crossfit, it is called Trevor i think. I do this workout with another poolee. It requires team work and motivation.

Run 1.5 miles
100 pull-ups (between the two of you)
150 burpees (between the two of you)
200 push-ups (between the two of you)
250 sit-ups (between the two of you)
300 squats (between the two of you)
Run 1.5 miles

No breaks or water in between the workouts

Hughlett, as for the squats in your list are you referring to air squats?

We have our own PT with our recruiter. It's on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and lasts about 2 hours.

You better double those numbers if its between two people lol, minus the run.

Actually what he has down is all you need. You just don't take breaks. I've done tons of the workouts. Many of them are quite brief, but the amount of work your body does makes up for the short time. I was on an 4-week cycle that my buddy and I did and we weren't in the gym for over 30 minutes each day. (with one rest day per week) It kicked my arse. Especially the days with 4x 1/4 mile sprints. I loved it. As long as you follow a healthy diet as well, you will benefit from it, bigtime.

Why minus the run?? and those numbers are pretty legit if you take no break between workouts

Right now I'm running an IST every day and doing 10 pull ups any time I exit or enter my room (shot up 2 pull ups in 2 days doing that).
I WAS doing PFTs but I got lazy over Christmas and New Years ( stupidstupidstupid STUPID!!) so now I'm back to ISTs, I'll probably be running 3mi again by the end of the week though.

IST

Pull Ups: 20
Crunches: 85
1.5 Mi: 11:48

[Hughlett]

I've started going on two 6 mile runs per week. It makes the 1.5 seem like nothing.
