Workouts for Navy Bootcamp

What workouts should you do before going to Navy Bootcamp

When it comes to work outs before Navy bootcamp I would have to say that it greatly depends on your physical fitness level.

If you already work out regularly or have had a strong athletic background then I think you are ready to go. Unless you are enlisted into a Special Ops program you will be able to fly by what Navy bootcamp has to offer when it comes to physical training.

Now if you are just straight up out of shape. Or better yet, ROUND is your shape , then I would get to work on your cardio, push ups and situps right away.

Instead of doing situps and pushups as sets of X amount (ex. 3 sets of 20), do 2 or 3 sets until failure. For instance, the fist set you may max out at 50 pushups. More than likely you won't be able to do 50 pushups again the second set but thats what you should be aiming for.

When it comes to running, I like to do a mixture of slow long distant runs followed by days of short runs with sprint intervals.

I would say to run for 30 minutes about 3 to 4 times a week. If you are not running at least 2 miles in those thirty minutes then you are running  too slow.

I will do a 3 minute warm up jog on the treadmill. Nice and slow at about 6 speed. After the 3 minutes I put the speed to its max (usually 11.5 to 12) and try to sprint that out for a minute. After the minute is up I jog slow (5 to 6 speed) for another minute and repeat the process until I have ran for 15 minutes total.

You should be able to get at least six good one minute sprints in there.

Don't try to over exert yourself. If you can't run at the speeds mentioned above make the necessary adjustments.

By doing sprint intervals you will burn fat and increase your 1.5 mile speed time.

Doing long slower runs will increase your stamina.

In the Navy you will get timed on how many pushups and situps you can do in two minutes as well as how fast you can run 1.5 miles.
