Army Workout

[saevel25]

Posted on ccn.com health website,

Below you'll find a series of workouts. The core workout can be performed at any time throughout the week, and the conditioning drills should be performed on a day-on/day-off type of sequence. Perform 15 to 20 reps of each exercise in the conditioning drill before immediately moving to the next movement. Once the entire drill sequence is finished, rest for 1-2 minutes and then repeat a second and possibly third time through. Note that due to the number of exercises involved, the third drill will be your toughest challenge.

The article goes on to say this workout is used for all Fitnes levels, those who never worked out before or those who were previous athletes. They say that it turns people into Tactical Athletes, not creating the beach body, but lean body that has good response times, agility, strength, and flexibility.

Not sure how tough this is compared to P90x, but if the army does it, i don't think its that easy to do.
