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.
Goals of Strength Training
The type of training that is performed should be reflective of the goals and needs of each individual. Depending on one’s goals, specific training programs can target the desired results.
In general, strength-training programs can be created to enhance the following general goals;
Muscle size: A principal goal of bodybuilders. While muscle size may be aesthetically pleasing, it does not necessarily help to enhance an individual’s performance.
Muscular endurance: The ability to execute movements repeatedly. A health-related benefit of fitness and the goal of athletes who participate in endurance sports.
Muscular strength: The ability to produce force. Another health-related benefit of fitness, strength improvement assists in making physical activities, particularly the movement of heavy objects, easier.
Power: The ability to quickly produce maximal force. A performance-related benefit of fitness and the goal of athletes who partake in sports involving explosive movements.
For the most part, the differences between the training programs designed to emphasize one of these goals involves manipulating the number of sets, repetitions, and rest intervals.
