<p>I was wondering if anyone could give an example of a typical morning workout during Plebe summer.</p>
<p>Typical morning workout lasts a little over an hour. They are designed to improve your physical condition and not just to beat you down. Each day they try to target one part to work on such as upper body and endurance for runs. If you need any suggestions of workouts to prep let me know</p>
<p>I think i'm pretty set with the workouts i'm doing now I'm just trying to figure out what to expect. With the plan I'm doing now I work out my upper body 3 days a week (40 pullups, 150 dips, 200 pushups, and 250 situps) and run 4-6 miles 5 days a week. Is there anything else I should work on?</p>
<p>Good to go. You will not have anything to worry about. Dont listen to everybody that says dont stand out. Physical fitness is one thing you do want to stand out in for the good reasons.</p>
<p>I wake up at 5:30 everyday and run 3+ miles then go to the weightroom to work on my upper body, then i will run 3+ miles again in the afternoon then i swim for 30 mins after dat. I did this for every week day and rest on weekend.
I'm training to get a SEAL spot at academy though</p>
<p>It's not suggested that you run 5 days a week; to avoid stress fractures and things. Instead, do low-impact leg workouts that will help you with your run, but don't involve beating up your joints- heavy swimming, pool excercises with a weighted belt, leg lifts, elliptical machines etc.</p>
<p>seairland, if you're trying to gain upper body strength make sure to target one major muscle group a day, and don't leave out the legs! By building up your legs simultaneously (with weights), your upper body will get bigger/stronger than it would if you didn't work on your legs. Also, try swimming with a weighted belt, it helps a lot.</p>
<p>My workout schedule is as follows (I work 40 hours a week, so I have to plan around this fact):</p>
<p>MWF:
0700-0800 Army PT (involves 2-3 mile runs, sprints, other calisthenics, it's a pretty good smoke session)
1800-1830 Cardio (elliptical, spinning, jumping rope)
1830-1930 Lifting weights (Mon: Chest, Wed: Legs, Fri: Shoulders)</p>
<p>TuTh:
0700-0800 Swimming/pool strength exercises involving weighted belt
1800-1830 Cardio/Intervals (to build speed)
1830-1930 Lifting weights (Tues: Back, Thurs: Arms)</p>
<p>With this schedule, I'm able to run 3 days a week, cardio 5 days a week, low impact leg exercises 2 days a week, and weight lifting for 5 days a week. And with lifting, don't stick to the same workout routine for a muscle group, change it up to confuse your muscles in order to get stronger.</p>
<p>Its fine to run 5 days a week. If your planning on going seals or USMC plan on running 7 days a week when you are here.</p>
<p>The thing with running every day is to have hard and easy days. For me an easy day is 4 miles so I do 4 Monday, 5 Tuesday, rest Wednesday, 6 Thursday, 4 Friday and 3 Saturday. The easier days give your legs a chance to heal and rest, without completely avoiding running.</p>
