Mando Pride Fitness Challenge

Through my NJROTC experience; if we did something wrong the hit on it was 10 push up or more. Truly it depended on how bad we did and what we did. But when I went in the Physical Fittness test with the NJROTC I was able to perform at least 65 sit-ups and around 14 push ups. Lets just say I have no upper body strength to do push ups LOL! I was lucky enough to go this far and get that number.

However, during drill practice I would look over from the Un-armed drill team and watch the armed dril team handle ten pound rifles and do push ups with those rifle along with it. Overall I think they did around thirty maybe fourty push ups with those rifles. And not only that but they had to have a strong upper-body strength just to do those things which I could not even do.

But maybe if I exercise more maybe just maybe I could do all that stuff in a minute.

:lol:lol::lol: My soccer coach last year had us doing 400 pushups in a 2.5 hour practice...that was brutal...

Now that I'm no longer playing team soccer, I'm doing 100 pushups/100 situps/ 20 pullups on alternating nights.

I'm in for this Kal'ika. I've never timed myself except on the running bit...5 minute mile. :D 11 minute 2 mile. :facepalm:cry gotta get that time down...

lol I have a 11 min 1.5 mile A'den so ur ok by my book! lol As for the "NJROTC experience" I'm glad they're still doing physical discipline at your school CC! At Field Training I had the priviledge of doing a LOT of PD... 400 pushups, arm circles, butterfly/bicycle kicks, in a day were not unheard of. I know how the 10 lb rifles feel, been there done that. BTW... for future reference throwing the words "JROTC experience" out around active duty military and Senior ROTC ppl is not always well received, although I do try to be tolerant since u have such a cool project and seem like a pretty cool kid.
 
Not trying to bash on JROTC btw... it's a good, positive thing for HS kids... keeps 'em out of trouble and teaches them the value of leadership, that being said... back to the topic at hand. Ran my 3.5 miler today in 28 min even! dropped out 50 pushups and 55 situps... need to work on that still!
 
Score on that one, Kal. Count me in. I've been slacking since I was discharged. I need to get back into shape. I'm headed off to work in a few hours (ugh, I hate overnight shifts), but I'll start in the morning before bed.
 
ok. I'll try this. Keep in mind, please, that I'm not so young anymore. I should be in somewhat decent health. I'll try in the morning, and let you all know.
 
Shuk'Om I'll be honest I've been slacking a lil here lately, but since I'm getting ready to transfer I thought it's a good time to start getting back into top shape. Also, I really want that ALO job so I need to be extremely fit.

lol understood Bren! I'm just pushing people to set a goal for themselves and do their best. Good hunting!
 
Staff Sergeant Maxamillian Shipton reporting sir! (That's my official rank, sir).

I haven't done this muych physical activity since training but hey, lets do it!


*salutes British-style*
 
lol hadn't done as much as I am now since basic myself... but I am bound and determined to get my ALO slot! lol I still have 2 yrs before I'm eligible but I figure now is a great time to start working on it. BTW... 2Lt, USAF. Glad to have ya joinin' us Pacx!
 
Pacx here, reporting in at around 40-45 pushups and exactly 75 sit-ups. I'm better at sit ups, because during basic we used to have to tone up the stomach most of all. We all had mini-6 packs by the end of the 3 years!

Hmm not bad pacx, not bad at all... Okay here's my update on my score. Ran a 2 miler this morning (formation run) with the rest of the wing in rememberence of 11 Sep 01 (moment of silence...) As for the practice PFT i ran today... in order: 55 pushups, 57 situps, 12:25 1.5 mile run. Executive decision was made to wait until next monday to start P90X so that we're working out 5 days and resting on weekends... my plan was to rest on days I had to go to Squadron PT, oh well! lol 2 days off and back to my 3 mile runs again on monday... REALLY need to drive that run time down.
 
ok, i'm the pathetic one. At 37 years old and a smoker since I was a kid (around 9) I guess it could have been worse. Everyone ready to laugh? Here goes:

push ups: 34 sit ups: 17 1.5 run: 20.03

And I'm a skinny 31"

Man, I really gotta get back in shape.
 
hey that's okay! The point is to set a goal and work toward it. I'd say a good goal for you might be... 40/40/18:00 for now, but that's just a suggestion
 
I'll jump on board here in a day or two... I have been hitting the gym and dropped 15 Lbs of fat and toned and firmed my body quite a bit so I am happy that I am seeing results :)
 
Did a 41 minute jog round the village, then some push ups, 35 i think... not so sure. Must remember to count. Some sit ups, no figure. Lost count half way through :D
