LEANNESS & SELF-ESTEEM

Leanness, physical fitness & self-esteem are often inter-related. Leanness is a relevant term and does not mean skinny!

For many, the most important result of physical fitness is how we feel about ourselves. Regardless of individual goals, being fit is a positive self-esteem builder.

BODY TRANSFORMATION THROUGH PROGRESSIVE WEIGHT TRAINING

The Flab-to-Fit weight training program is designed to gradually improve muscular endurance.

While increasing weight throughout the program, increase the poundage by the least amount possible. Also, while conducting multiple sets, use the first set as a specific warm-up using half the training weight for each exercise.

During the warm-up and cool down walk; do arm circles, neck rolls and horizontal arm swings to increase upper body flexibility and mobility.

IMPROVED PERFORMANCE

Enhancing physical performance through the combination of endurance and strength training coupled with nutrition. Exercises and workouts used throughout the U.S. Armed Forces will help prepare anyone improve the physical fitness aspect of their well-being. An elevated level of fitness relies on many factors, including:

Workout Preparation. Following a well-designed plan accounting for accepted physical fitness components and principles.

Each individual military service formats their physical fitness evaluations based on their beliefs on what events and standards best assess their members ability to accomplish its goals and missions.

If you're looking to join the armed forces, it's time for long term goal setting. I recommend shooting for the stars, developing your skills to the best of your abilities, and aim to "max out" your service's physical fitness assessment.

For those not interested in military service but are looking to gauge your fitness level, here are the tests which which the armed forces evaluate the physical readiness of their members.
