SneekyPanda Posted December 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 What are some ofyour goals? Clothes fitting better is more of a motivation than a goal. What do you want to be able to accomplish?I am hoping to join the navy this spring, so going into it I want to be able to run more then 3 miles, be flexable, I don't want my arms to jiggle, I want that small gap between my thighs and a flat stomach. I want people to look at me and say "Wow, how do you do it". And more importantly I want to feel better, happier and just over all great.That's not too much to ask for right? Link to comment

Tanktimus the Encourager Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 No, it's not too much to ask. If I can make a reccomendation, I would make meeting the physical fitness requirements a goal. In other words, how fast do you need to run for how long for the run test? How many situps, pushups (I can't remember if Navy PT has a pullup component). If you can do that, the other things will happen.

wesb1898 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 If you aren't primed for running, the perhaps something like the Couch to 5K program will help. 5K is 3.1 miles, so a great place to start based on your needs. It uses a walk/jog schedule to get you acclimated and step you up.The Basic Bodyweight Circuit on NF is great for building strength using just your body weight. It also is a great burner (weight training in general is), so that flat stomach/firm arm bit can get taken care of.Most importantly for that flat stomach, you diet will be 80% of your success. Again, I would say look into Paleo or Primal. Both limit carb intakes, thus controlling your insulin response quite well.

Lol go rid of most of the junk in my house, and cleaned. Fresh and new food, clean house. Also I've been doing work outs at home like billy blank etc along with jump roping when it's gross nd cold out. Hate Maine lol Link to comment
SneekyPanda Posted December 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Welcome Stephanie!What part of New England are you from? I'm originally from RI.I'll have to agree with tanktimus on the point that you should definitely focus on the physical fitness test for navy recruits to include your BF%. Everything else will fall into place, especially after initial entry training. Begin to train now for those specific events if this is your goal. Because that is what you will be tested on at MEPS... Sorry if I'm using to much military jargon.. Feel free to ask if you have any specific military questions. I may be able to help.Glad to meet you, and btw, Go Pats!-TomHi! I'm from Maine and its so cold minus today, today feels like spring! Yeah I take ASVAB this afternoon! I'm nervous. I've been doing some cardio. I hope they take my BF% into count... My BMI is 31.92, BF% is only 26% and my waist to hip ratio is .79 which is good?I don't mind the jargon and thanks for the offered support, I have no idea what I'm doing military wise yet Link to comment

SneekyPanda Posted December 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Idk I haven't timed my mile yet. Like one push up and the sit-ups I can do fine. Link to comment
