MILITARY CROSS-TRAINING: Calisthenics Plus a Conditioning Hike


This workout was modeled after physical training sessions common in the armed forces special operations community. Cardiovascular and muscular endurance are perquisites for these service members being that everything they carry on a mission, they carry on their backs. Marine infantry units complete twenty-five mile marches in under eight hours wearing forty pound packs and carrying their weapons.
This Flab-to-Fit workout will be somewhat less intense but will still develop core and leg strength as well as stamina using a combination of calisthenics and a conditioning hike.
