PT in bootcamp... if you can work yourself up to a 20 minute sustained run, you'll be okay!
10 counts (start standing up):
1. Get down on your hands.
2. Jump back into the push up position.
3. Jump to the left.
4. Center (pushup position)
5. Jump to the right.
6. Center
7 & 8. Push up. Down is 7. Up is 8.
9. Jump back in.
10. Stand up.
We usually did like 20 of these. If you've done Insanity, think Ski Abs mixed with a regular Burpee. |
Thanks! That helps to know it won't be as bad as I'm making it out to be. I tore my PCL, ACL and MCL some odd years back and it still swells a little when I work it really hard. But it's never to the point where I can't run and still do these exercises... I just need to warm it up a bit first some times. To stress test my self I've been ITing myself twice a day for about an hour. Doing enough to get a REALLY good sweat going.
Right now I'm jogging a two mile track around the neighborhood. I don't think it takes me 20 min to do it thought. I may need to increase the distance.. but I am doing it every day.
This may be a dumb question, but what happens if they tell you do 40 push ups and you can only do 30.. or they tell you to hold something for a minute and you can't do it... you fatigue out. Do they really get on you hard for stuff like that? I just don't wanna go there and be the guy that can't do everything they tell you when everyone else can.
