1st HGH

I need a fitness program that will get me in shape for the Marine Corps. I have about one and a half years until I start NROTC.

Do these workouts:

PPPA: Push/Pull/Press/Abs

First, pushup/pull-up supersets. For example, 10 pulls, 25 pushes, 8 pulls, 20 pushes, 6 and 15. The numbers increase each time you do it. By week 8 or 9, I believe it’s something like pull-ups: 16/14/12 and pushups 45/40/35. Ouch.

Ammo can press/crunch supersets come next. I think the ammo cans are 20 or 30 pounds each (full of sand.) This is a great preparation for the CFT and PFT. These are timed events, so you end up doing about 2 min/1.5/1 minute for ammo can presses, alternating with crunches of about the same time.

Fartleks

Fartleks are 3-5 mile runs, interspersed with workouts every half mile or so. Fartleks are very similar to the Run Course/Mec Weight (or something like that) where you just don’t run as far, and do more workouts. An awesome cardio workout.

Example exercises: Pushups, pull-ups, crunches, sit-ups, frog sit-ups (wide knees like you’re doing a groin stretch), diamond pushups, body squats, bend and thrusts, burpees, dips, mountain climbers, sprints

Also when you get close to going to OCS, start doing practice humps (aka hikes) with boots and weights in a backpack.

I need to know what is the maximum number of independent variables that introduce my fitness function and GA result and speed is good with this fitness function? In other word, what kind of fitness function I can use? What is it`s maximum number of independent variables?

use perhaps the Riemann’s dzeta function

I am looking for fitness classes that are great to help you to tone up I would love a flatter stomach. I have had a go at body pump but that class kills me. So if you know any fitness classes that have really toned u up or you pals. Please let me know?

In order to tone up the best form of physical activity is weight training. Its the best and most effective method of toning and burning body fat. Aerobic classes such as body pump, spinning etc are brilliant but to really firm up you should get a weights programme done specifically for the areas you want to tone up. For your tummy you need to burn body fat and then tone, sit ups will not tone your tummy on their own unless you are burning fat consistently and resistant type exercises are by far the best. If you going to a gym get the instructor to do a programme for you 25-30min 3x a week is suffice. Or get a fit ball and do resistant exercises at home – you will see results within 2-3 weeks.Good luck.

I’m interested in doing personal fitness. I figure I’d set my bar at the best of the best. I’ve looked at the Marine recruitment site and they offer not even a hint of what sort of fitness you’d need to be in.

Thanks for commenting.
By all means, share whatever fitness standards you know. Anything is better than not knowing anything.

just to let you know if you are looking to set your physical fitness at the best of the best you arent going to find that in your average marine there are parts that have way harder physical fitness standards so you might want to look into those pt standards

Navy Seals
Army Special Forces
Delta Force
Army Rangers

people liek that

I know that exercise can improve cardio vascular fitness level but is there any supplement / medication that can raise it?

any supplement/medication that raises your cardio rate is BAD BAD BAD.

it would stress your system unnaturally.

Stick to the sweat and huff method. Run,jog, etc.

I have bought my kids a snakebyte fitness board and I have followed all the instructions and cannot sync the fitness board to my Wii. Can anybody please help me?

A lot of people have a tough time syncing their balance boards. Here are some syncing tips:
-be sure the batteries in your balance board are NEW.
-make sure the Wii Fit disc is in the Wii console and don’t try to sync the balance board until prompted.
-hold the balance board VERY CLOSE to the Wii console while they are trying to sync. In fact, have it almost touching the Wii, just to be sure.
-here are some more tips/troubleshooting help:

I’m thinking of becoming a personal fitness instructor. I myself have a trainer to help me get in shape. Since I won’t be meeting with my trainer for the time being. What are some good schools to get certify, how much do they make yearly, and what are the chances of getting hired?

are you looking to become a personal trainer or someone that teaches group fitness classes such as aerobics? if it’s the latter don’t expect to make much money at all but if you are wanting to become a personal trainer then i will say that the money can be very good depending on if you are.

if you are in the states a few organizations come to mind such as A.C.E which i think stands for American council on exercise. the I.S.S.A international sports sciences association and if you are up with me in canada Can fit pro is available with many others.

the most important thing you can do is go to as many gyms as you can just to ask them what organization they will accept a certification from but if you’re not a good trainer in the gym then it doesn’t matter where you got your course from. you simply have to know your stuff but most trainers fail because they themselves don’t know proper form when working out and i have seen it from every gym i have been to and i have been in lots of gyms over the past 23 years.

For anyone who has ondemand and did the free fitness videos, what happened to them?? I used to do them everyday, but about 2 months ago they disappeared.The category still says sports and fitness so will they be back?? Thanks!

you might want to contact comcast to ask. you could also try sports&fitness/exercise tv in the meantime as that seems to be the only fitness left.

I took the philadelphia police test, and wanted to know do you take the physical fitness test before the academy or during the philadelphia police academy? Also what would they do if you are underweight?

Major departments all require some type of fitness test before they make a hiring decision. Then during the academy they continue the PT.

Underweight shouldn’t matter so long as you meet the minimum fitness standards.
