Leaving for basic training for the United States Navy on June 10th so my goals are all going to focused around being successful at basic training because I really want to make honor grad!!! But also because this is the start of a 4 year adventure for me and a major lifestyle change and I want to be prepared as possible!! #1- Workout six days a week, three days of cardio and three days of bodyweight/callisthenic based strength training. Starting with thirty minutes of cardio and working my way up to one hour. For my strength workouts I want to start with three circuits of bodyweight moves and add another circuit each week. Monday Wednesday Friday = strength training Tuesday Thursday Saturday = cardio conditioning Sunday = rest day! #2- Study Study Study! I want to completely memorize all of the following word for word: The code of conduct, navy ethos, the eleven general orders of a sentry, rank and recognition, chain of command, phonetic alphabet, sailors creed I am going to read at least three chapters of The Bluejackets manual everyday. And I also want to expand my vocabulary of Navy, Sailor, and Military terms until I am very familiar with them. Minimum of two hour studying these topics every single day!!!!! #3- Start waking up earlier in the morning! Right now I usually wake up around 10:00 or 10:30 without an alarm clock. But once I am at bootcamp I will be waking up at like 4 or 5 in the morning so I want to get into a routine of waking up early in the morning. So I will start setting my alarm clock earlier and earlier every week until I force myself to become a morning person. And I will record what time I actually get out o bed everyday for accountability purposes. Week1= alarm set at 8:30AM Week2= alarm set at 7:45AM Week3= alarm set at 7:00AM Week 4= alarm set at 6:15AM Week 5=alarm set at 5:30AM Week6=alarm set at 4:45AM #4- Be able to pass my minimum PFA standards. I will test myself on these once a week and post my results. Minimum Standards for my gender and age are as follows: 46 Curl-ups- in 2 minutes 16 Pushups in 2 minutes 1.5mile run in 15:30 or less
