Types of Military Training Workouts

The military requires members of the armed forces to be in top physical condition, as they are so vital to protecting our freedom and safety. The military requires that all new recruits complete specific training courses during their 10 week basic training requirement.

• Military Training requires cadets
  to run long distances. Distance running is preformed almost every
  day during basic training. The cadets are required to wear their
  supply backpacks during running to build strength. The pack will
  weigh between 25 and 50 pounds.


• Cadets will march for several miles
  carrying the backpack and other equipment. The equipment will
  include their Kevlar vest, ammunition belt, and weapon. There are
  specific time limits for the cadets must complete the march.


• Military training requires several
  physical exercise activities including push ups, rope climbing,
  jumping jacks, sprint running, and sit ups. The cadet is expected to
  complete several reps each training session of these exercises.


• Weight training is required for
  military personnel including squats, bench press, and lunges. These
  exercises improve the overall condition of the cadet.


• Flexibility is required for
  military personnel. Completing several stretching exercises before
  any other training activities will protect the muscles from injury.


• Focus is a crucial part of
  military training because the soldier may have to wait for several
  hours before completing a mission. Meditation can help develop this
  focus through repetition and daily practice.


• Weapon training is a requirement
  for all military recruits. The military uses many weapons and the
  soldiers will know how to use each one correctly. This includes
  weapon care to ensure the cadet can use the weapon if necessary.
