In a world where you exercises are trackable on a watch there zero reason for organized PT.

organized PT has never been good. "its not to make you better its to maintain. you get better on your own time" That's what I heard over my 18 yrs so far. Tbh pt should be on the soldier, not this morning bs, if they fail an aft then its on them as well as the punishment.

My NCO's told me that PT is meant to sustain, not improve.

I mean what shows actual results is weight training if they put in the work but they also gotta run but you gain all that weight and don’t run it sucks it’s not gonna be a fun time and I’ll be honest just bc your a NCO and you lead pt doesn’t make you fuckin qualified to run pt like crazy omg now way who said that but what do I know was an e4 for 4 years and now a e5 it’s like I know how my body works and see the results but naw still forced to do peoples crappy pt plan pt in the morning is awful bc if they let people do pt on there own it would show you who does it and who don’t and big army would lose to many people not like people would do the paperwork to boot people out anyway seen it way to many times but like weight training for me helped me improve my deadlift and max out the pushups what I liked a lot what my unit did was put a gym in the motor pool I think it’s a great idea bc I workout for a hour on my and the rest of my 30 minute to relax and eat for me it made me better I just wish people stop stealing the equipment and breaking said equipment

Physical fitness is not limited to 0630-0800. You can do some pt in the evenings so that morning PT and your day is easier

The mesocycle for unit PT should be in the LRTC with 3 to 5 weeks assessments. Planned peak performance and recovery windows. This is became part of the standard on the NCO side and should be appearing quickly in their PME. There is still a lot of barriers that are stopping it in CCC and ILE sadly.

Why does a 42 year old man who hasn’t worn a uniform in decades caring about military PT?
