Was in the best shape of my life during my Navy career. Got out in 2014 and got wrapped up as a father and working and daily life and allowed myself to fall apart. Only 34 but want to get back to what I was ten years ago.

[@golfery5119]

When you were in the Navy how did you manage to be in the shape you were? I've heard about sailors on ships not even doing PT at all because obviously they were on ship.

[@garrettgonzales3556]

@@golfery5119 I love to run. I was lucky and got stationed with a seabee unit in Coronado at NAB. So we exercised three days a week and then I'd go running after work as well. So that just carried over into my ship life. I'd work as an AO and then hit the gym and then go read a book until bedtime. It's just about wanting to keep a good healthy routine. Alot of sailors just drink a lot and party way too much and then when the physical test comes around they fail. I got out in 2014 and now I'm in training to be a Wildland firefighter and the training has been kicking my butt..but it's a good thing to embrace the suck sometimes.

​@garrettgonzales3556 how is it going? Did you get or achieve it?

[@garrettgonzales3556]

@@scotthearts9634 ended up becoming a Wildland firefighter with the US forest service so yes I definitely got back into shape.

@@garrettgonzales3556 I love reading through the comments and seeing folks saying they met their goals. Good for you.

Every autumn/winter, I promise myself: I will spend this season getting into shape before spring. I will be fit and fresh! I watch all manner of videos, get equipment, gym membership... and then it is suddenly mid summer, and I gained couple inches around the waist.

[@moniquemckie4383]

My favorite exercise is walking and jogging 🏃🏾‍♀️. I’m not a fast pace runner so I hope I do well in training. I’m nervous 😅

[@gregorylatta8159]

You literally need to run until you throw up. Running slow is the last thing you want to do in the Army.

[@moniquemckie4383]

Thank you for information. I always enjoy your videos for knowledge. I’m joining army reserve. That’s what I’ve been doing for months now 🏃🏾‍♀️

[@homeslice4551]

I like doing traditional weight lifting, like bench, overhead press, squats, and deadlifts. Loving trap bar deadlifts, but dread the overhead ball throw

[@PBRatlas]

I'm going to take my practice test Monday 💪

[@muffin2147]

I love inclined hikes. Meaning hikes with a good amount of hills. Also racquetball may seem like a "boomer" sport, but it did wonders for my reaction time and quick agility.

[@mcbins1993]

push-ups and pull-ups are exercises i think are fun ( i like hiking mountain trails but can't do that much lol )

[@usarmyisthebest9193]

Wanna get in shape for the army? RUN!

[@Upnorthoutfitters]

Go for a run in the woods with mosquitoes. If you stop, you get punished and possibly a disease.

[@EnabIing]

Someone promote this man to general of the army, he is a god

[@tgnsweaty8106]

Been waiting on this vid💯

[@jamesadkins3405]

Question me for who isn’t in good shape and can’t do a pull up I need help

[@JustAnotherArmyVet]

Good tips!

[@jurban611]

Notification platoon.

[@blassmaster2888]

I did max on run and pushups. situps were not so good

[@jasonmitchell9622]

I love cardio

[@blassmaster2888]

I like running

[@SuperiorIronMan-l3p]

what's the weight limit for the fat BootCamp? any guy who struggle with that?

[@bunnychacha7358]

@@SuperiorIronMan-l3p I dont know if your question has been answered yet but if not in my experience they typically measure height and weight and neck and waist measurements to calculate bmi and you have an 8% margin (32% bf with the 8% margin would mean 40% bf) but i got to go to boot camp straight away because I was within 2% of that margin 🤷‍♀️ but for every percent over they tac on days to allow to loose that weight. So ID ask your recruiter to measure your bmi and see if youre in that gray area. (For reference im 5'5" 198lbs)

[@gregorylatta8159]

Don't go in fat.

[@johntejeda6482]

Trainees need to run in combat boots instead of running shoes. Going back to the days.

[@christopherchaos]

It's better for distance running to run in running shoes. Running during physical training in boots would increase the chances of injury and then you would have more soldiers on profile than you currently have.

[@EnabIing]

Yea so just because you guys had it the bad way, let’s keep up bad traditions, and it’s totally not like the military is facing a recruitment phase. 🤦‍♂️

[@JorgePerez-dj5dk]

Let bad traditions die

[@timbrown8038]

Your left Your left Your left. Right.

[@k-ro3824]

I'd rather walk than do any other kind of work out.

[@scotthearts9634]

People really underestimate the power of just walking. I walk for an hour or 2
